The Neochauliodes sinensis species–group

Diagnosis. Forewing with R 3 and R 4 distally curved posteriorly (as in Fig. 1 ); hindwing with median and distal pigment arranged loop–like, marks sometimes expanded and connected forming dark wing with relatively small hyaline areas. Male tenth sternum simple, in lateral view slender, sometimes with median portion or apex inflated ( Fig. 10 ).

Distribution. The N. sinensis species-group is widely distributed in southeastern and eastern Asia. Based on specimens examined by us, the group occurs in China, India, Japan, South Korea, Laos, Vietnam, and Thailand. However, Myanmar, and the Russian Far East might also support species of the group.
