Remarks.
The Chinese specimens mainly agree with the description by Epler (1988). According to Epler (1988), there was some variation in the coloration of the wing in Dicrotendipes pelochloris , from hyaline to dusky brown, or with diffuse brown cloud along R1, R4+5, M, Cu and An. The wings of Chinese specimens are hyaline, without markings. The Chinese specimens are smaller than the specimens described in Epler (1988). Some measured differences between the Chinese specimens and the specimens described by Epler (1988) are shown in Table 2.
