Material examined. 1 male, Aut. Reg. Guangxi, Jinxiu, Mt. Shengtang , 28.vi.2000 (coll. J. Yao) .

Diagnosis. Stenoloba glauca ( Fig. 13 ) was described as a sister species of the North Indian S. glaucescens (Hampson, 1894) . It differs externally from its ally by paler forewing and the absence of dark grey lines in the three main crosslines which are defined by their white filling patches; these patches being more conspicuous than those of S. glaucescens . In the male genitalia ( Fig. 30 ) the valva of S. glauca is more massive, with more finely acute apical angle of cucullus than that of S. glaucescens , and the ventral extension is shorter than in the related species. The vesica of S. glauca is narrowly tubular; the terminal cornutus is considerably stronger and broader. The taxon Stenoloba kuytekparki is placed here as a synonym of S. glauca , having already been downgraded to subspecies by Kononenko & Han (2007). The female of S. glauca was described by Sohn & Han (2005) as Stenoloba kuytekparki and also illustrated by Kononenko & Han (2007).

Distribution. North Vietnam, South China (Aut. Reg. Guangxi, first record), South Korea.
