Eoophyla abstrusa Li, You & Wang, 2003 ( Figs 45–46 , 53–54 )

Eoophyla abstrusa Li, You & Wang, 2003 , Acta Zootaxonomica Sinica, 28(2): 296. Type-locality: Jiangkou, Guizhou, China.

Diagnosis. The species is different by the forewing of male has its upper edge of cell diffused with fuscous setae on basal half and androconial hairs covered with apical half of the cell from the upper edge. In male genitalia, the species has three strong specialized setae about 2/3 length of valva, third seta with minute spines laterally and an expanded apex. In female genitalia, the species has the pair of slender signa little shorter than corpus bursae.

The species is similar to E. fusca sp. nov. and E. clarusa sp. nov. in external, but has the eyespots smaller than E. fusca sp. nov. and has the androconial hairs larger than E. clarusa sp. nov. Additionally, the species has the specialized setae longer than E. fusca sp. nov. in male and signa little longer than E fusca sp. nov. and E. clarusa sp. nov. in female.

Male genitalia ( Fig. 53 ). Uncus slender, apex pointed; gnathos about 3/4 length of uncus, with several dorsal teeth; tegumen with sclerotized dorsal ridge X-shaped; valva densely covered with setae, widen from base to apex, apex constricted, three strong specialized setae present at apex, about 2/3 length of valva, third seta with minute spines laterally and an expanded apex; vinculum broad; saccus round; juxta plate-like, with apex incurved; aedeagus slender, vesica with many minute spines, ductus ejaculatorius arising below middle.

Female genitalia ( Fig. 54 ). Anal papillae relatively broad, densely covered with setae; apophysis anterioris about 1.5 times length of anal papillae, apophysis posterioris about 2/3 length of anterioris; antrum elongated, cylindric; collar sclerotized; ductus seminalis arising below collar; ductus bursae about 1/2 length of corpus bursae, with many minute spines; corpus bursae long, with a pair of slender signa, consisting of many minute spines, about 4/5 length of corpus bursae.
