Diagnosis. Forewing length 18.0–19.0 mm in males and 19.0–19.5 mm in females. Barsine ruficollis ( Figs 31, 32 View Figs 25–32 ) is similar externally to B. eurydice ( Figs 29, 30 View Figs 25–32 ), but can be easily distinguished by its slightly smaller size, pale yellow body and forewing coloration (ochreous yellow in B. eurydice ), and the presence of a red subbasal subcostal stroke on forewing (absent in B. eurydice ). Male genital capsule of B. ruficollis ( Fig. 45 View Figs 45–47 ) is most similar to that of B. yuennanensis ( Figs 42, 43 View Figs 42–44 ), but differs in its uncus being strongly broadened subapically, smaller medial costal process, and distal saccular process having narrower base. The vesica of B. ruficollis differs clearly from that of B. yuennanensis in the absence of a basal diverticulum, much broader and rounded 1 st medial diverticulum (narrower and hook-like curved in B. yuennanensis ), much broader and shorter 2 nd medial diverticulum having no subdiverticulum, narrower cluster of cornuti of the 3 rd medial diverticulum, shorter and granulated 4 th medial diverticulum (bearing cornuti in B. yuennanensis ), much larger 5 th medial diverticulum, and larger 6 th medial diverticulum. In the female genitalia, B. ruficollis ( Fig. 56 View Figs 54–57 ) differs from B. yuennanensis ( Fig. 53 View Figs 48–53 ) in longer ductus bursae being narrower anteriorly and having longer longitudinal subostial folds, much broader and more rugose posterior sclerotized area of corpus bursae, and smaller signum. Compared to those of B. eurydice ( Fig. 55 View Figs 54–57 ), the female genitalia of B. ruficollis have significantly longer ductus bursae, less rugose posterior sclerotized area of corpus bursae, and smaller signum.
