Material examined. Holotype of Bryophila brunneola ( Fig. 10 View FIGURES 9–17 , ZFMK). 7 males, 9 females, China, Prov. Yunnan, Pur , 14.vi.2007 (coll. H.L. Han).

Diagnosis. The species was described from a single female and placed in the genus Bryophila ( Draudt 1950) . However the head structure with prominent frons and the genitalia show a relationship with Stenoloba . This species belongs to a distinct group within the genus. A redescription follows.

Forewing moderately wide, costa arched basally. Ground colour of forewing reddish-brown, with light greenish tint, especially conspicuous in light areas. Costal field somewhat paler than ground colour; basal area with black suffusion; subbasal line thin, black, surrounded by white and shadowed with black; orbicular formed by thin black line; antemedial line starts on costa, follows through orbicular, angled near inner margin; reniform formed by thin black line, vertically elongate; submedial line arched in central area, parallel to outer margin; subterminal line indistinct, suffused with whitish scales; tornal streak thin, distinct, tornal spot white; cilia reddish-brown. Hindwing brown, discal spot distinct, suffused.

Male genitalia ( Fig. 25 View FIGURES 24–29 ). Uncus very short, rudimental, tegumen and vinculum narrow, approximately equal in height; juxta wide, deltoid; transtilla with wide sclerotized lobes. Valva relatively short, basally moderately wide, somewhat tapered apically, quadrangular on apex; sacculus moderate, clasper bar weakly expressed; top of valva covered with numerous setae and strong bristles, tornal angle of valva with separate short spine. Aedeagus large, straight, vesica tubular, projecting ventrally, bearing three moderate diverticula covered with tiny plate-like cornuti and sclerotized bar on ventral surface.

Female genitalia ( Fig. 42 View FIGURES 39–44 ). Ovipositor short, quadrangular; apophyses anteriores and posteriores short, equal in length; antrum elongate, flattened with sclerotization in central part; ductus bursae short, membranous; cervix bursae prominent, sclerotized; bursa large, sack-like.
