Description.
Adult (
Fig. 5
): Wing expanse 24.0−25.0 mm. Forewing with R4 and R5 separated (
Fig. 56
).
Male genitalia (
Fig. 106
): Uncus inconspicuous. Socius slender, dilated before apex, ending in point. Ventral plate of gnathos broadly tongue-shaped. Valva relatively slender, narrowed at base, arched along dorsal margin. Saccus 4/5 length of socius, dilated before apex. Anellus with width about 1/3 length of phallus, extremely broad and densely hairy on distal half. Phallus somewhat broad, slightly longer than valva, dilated at inception of ductus ejacuiatorius; coecum a quarter length of phallus; cornuti about half length of phallus, composed of two rows of microspines, each row with two or three larger thorns at apex.

Diagnosis.
This species is similar to
Y
.
amoenella
(
Christoph)
externally and internally, but can be distinguished by the separation of R4 and R
5 in
the forewing (
Fig. 56
), the specific cornuti composed of two rows of microspines that are about half length of the phallus in the male genitalia (
Fig. 106
), and the intersegmental membrane between the papilla analis and the 8th abdominal segment longer than the abdomen in the female genitalia (
Fig. 156
). In
Y
.
amoenella
(
Christoph)
, R4 and R5 of the forewing are stalked (
Fig. 57
), the male cornuti consist of two long thorns that are about 4/5 length of the phallus (
Fig. 107
), and the female intersegmental membrane between the papilla analis and the 8th abdominal segment is just 3/5 length of the abdomen (
Fig. 157
).
Remarks.
Byun & Bae (2001)
recorded one male specimen from Gwangleung,
Korea
, but did not provide the structure of male genitalia. The male genitalia are described for the first time in this paper.
