MJ Qi & S Yu; 1♂, Mingfenggu , Jianfengling , 965 m, 13.I.2018, leg. MJ Qi & S Yu.

Adult ( Figs 1 View FIGURES 1‒4 , 5 View FIGURES 5‒7 ). Wingspan 13.5–18.5 mm.

Diagnosis. This species can be distinguished from its congeners in the male genitalia by the sub-triangular juxta with neither posterior lobes nor a flap, the aedeagus with two needle-like cornuti ( Fig. 8 View FIGURES 8‒11 ), in the female genitalia by the weakly sclerotized antrum longer than wide, and the ductus bursae shorter than the corpus bursae ( Fig. 12 View FIGURES 12‒14 ).

Distribution. China (Hainan, Taiwan, Zhejiang).

Remarks. Lepidozonates viciniolus is synonymized with Philharmonia adusta Park, 2000 . Lepidozonates viciniolus is identical to P. adusta in appearance, venation, as well as in the male and female genitalia, and closely distributed geographically. The presence of the plumose scales on the pleural membrane are not mentioned in the original description, but other characters are well in consistent with those of P. adusta .
