Diagnosis: Endotricha dumalis ( Figs 7, 8 View FIGURES 1–8 ) is closely similar to E. similata ( Fig. 9 View FIGURES 9–16 ) but is distinct in male genitalia by the spined lateral lobes of juxta and saccular process medially bulged whereas in E. similata ( Fig. 22 View FIGURES 17–22 ), lateral lobes of juxta are smooth and medial bulge of saccular process is absent. In female genitalia, E. dumalis ( Fig. 31 View FIGURES 29–32 ) is distinct by the corpus bursae less elongated and spines of signum sparsely arranged which are dense in E. similata ( Whalley 1963: 426; imago: Pl. 3, fig. 40; female genitalia: Pl. 33, fig. 281).
