Type material.
China, Hainan: Holotype ♂, Mt. Diaoluo (18.73N, 109.87E), Lingshui, 980 m, 24.IV.2014, leg. TT Liu et al., slide No. YAH15508. Paratype: 1♂, same data as holotype.
Diagnosis.
The new species can be distinguished from its congeners by the uncus with a sclerotized conic plate from middle of base reaching distal 1/3, and the valva distinctly angled at basal 1/3 on the ventral margin.
Description.
Adult (Fig. 11 View Figures 4–11 ). Wingspan 14.5-15.0 mm. Head with frons yellow on upper half, black on lower half; vertex blackish brown, yellow along dorsal margin of eyes and occiput. Labial palpus yellow; second segment mixed with dense black scales on outer surface, forming a black ring apically; third segment mixed with sparse black scales. Antenna with scape black, yellow along posterior margin; flagellum black annulated with yellow dorsally, yellow ventrally. Thorax blackish brown, edged with yellow scales; tegula blackish brown, tinged with yellow scales distally. Forewing blackish brown, with yellow and black scales; costal yellow spot situated before middle, crossing anterior margin of cell posteriorly, distal yellow spot at 1/4, sub-triangular, narrowed posteriorly, extending beyond anterior angle of cell, with a blackish brown dot at middle anteriorly; dorsal yellow spot diffused, ill-defined; cell with a black spot beyond basal 2/3 and at posterior angle respectively, both edged with yellow scales; plical spot black, at distal 2/5 of fold; terminal dots blackish brown interrupted by yellow scales, extending from distal part of costal margin through termen to before tornus; fringe blackish grey tinged with yellow. Hindwing and fringe deep grey. Legs yellow, with exception on ventral surface: foreleg with coxa greyish black, tarsus greyish black except yellow at apices of basal two tarsomeres, tibiae of fore- and midlegs greyish black, yellow apically, mid tarsus greyish black except yellow at apex of each tarsomere, hind tibia greyish black, tarsus mixed with sparse greyish black scales; all femora covered with dense greyish black scales.
Male genitalia (Fig. 27 View Figures 20–27 ). Uncus triangular, wide at base, narrowed to basal 2/3, then abruptly narrowed and sclerotized to hooked apex, edged with long setae; ventral surface with a sclerotized conic plate extending from middle of base to 2/3 length of uncus. Tegumen inverted U-shaped, widened medially; lateral arm narrowed anteriorly. Valva narrow at base, distinctly widened to basal 1/3, thereafter slightly narrowed to obtuse apex, setose; ventral margin heavily sclerotized along basal 1/3, forming a sclerotized band, distinctly angled at basal 1/3; costa straight, wide at base, narrowed distally, reaching beyond middle length of valva, lined with sparse setae; transtilla narrow, extending obliquely downward, not meeting medially. Sacculus wide at base, narrowed to basal 2/3; distal 1/3 sub-quadrate, heavily sclerotized, setose, obtuse at apex; dorsal margin concave at middle, ventral margin concave before distal 1/3. Saccus sub-triangular, wide at base, narrowed to narrowly rounded apex. Juxta V-shaped. Phallus slightly longer than valva, wide medially, with curved, irregularly wide belts distally.
