The genusAntispilaHübner, [1825] is newly recorded from mainland China.Antispila sinensissp. n., the first formally named Heliozelidae species in mainland China, is described. The host plant of the new species,Cornus walteriWangerin (Cornaceae), is widespread through east Asia and is used as a shade tree in city parks in Jinan City, where the moth causes damage to foliage. Morphological and molecular analyses distinguishA. sinensissp. n.from its close relatives. The adult, pupa, larva, host plant, leaf-mines, and the shield of the new species are illustrated, as are male and female genitalia, venation, and larval chaetotaxy. DNA barcodes of the new species are also provided.
Meleonoma Meyrick, 1914 is treated as a genus of the family Autostichidae based on the recent study. Fifty species are transferred from the genus Cryptolechia to Meleonoma, and eight Meleonoma species groups are proposed for the taxonomic convenience based on both molecular data and morphological study. Eight species groups include: the malacobyrsa group, the segregnatha group, the annulignatha group, the fasciptera group, the jigongshanica group, the dentivalvata group, the facialis group, and the acutiuscula group. Diagnostic characters and representative illustrations of each species group are provided. A discussion on the proposed species groups is given, and a checklist of all the 88 described Meleonoma species is provided.
Eighteen new species of the genus Torodora Meyrick, 1894 from China are described: T. acuminata sp. nov., T. atomata sp. nov., T. canaliculata sp. nov., T. costatiprolata sp. nov., T. dentisaccula sp. nov., T. gemella sp. nov., T. gongshanensis sp. nov., T. longicornis sp. nov., T. obliqua sp. nov., T. parisortilega sp. nov., T. procerispinata sp. nov., T. reniformis sp. nov., T. spectabilis sp. nov., T. stilliformis sp. nov., T. strigulosa sp. nov., T. ventrimaculata sp. nov., T. xizangensis sp. nov. and T. zhejiangensis sp. nov.; 15 species are newly recorded for China. Images of adults and genitalia for all newly described species and a checklist of the Chinese Torodora species are given.
Two new species of the genus Meleonoma Meyrick, 1914 from Thailand are described: M. segregacantha sp. nov. and M. fornicalis sp. nov. A checklist and a key to all the seven species from Thailand are given. Images of adults and genitalia of the new species are provided.
Fifteen new species of Promalactis Meyrick are described from China. They are: P. peculiaris Wang & Li, P. tricuspidata Wang & Li, P. zhejiangensis Wang & Li, P. tridentata Wang & Li, P. zhengi Wang & Li, P. varivalvata Wang & Li, P. dilatignatha Wang & Li, P. heterojuxta Wang & Li, P. xianfengensis Wang & Li, P. latijuxta Wang & Li, P. spinosa Wang & Li, P. varimorpha Wang & Li, P. parvignatha Wang & Li, P. densidentalis Wang & Li, and P. chishuiensis Wang & Li. The genital structures are illustrated.
The ten species of the genus Lateantenna Amsel, 1968 known from China are reviewed. Four new species are described: L. semicircularissp. n. and L. zhejiangensissp. n. from Zhejiang, L. lunatasp. n. from Yunnan and Hainan, and L. triangulatasp. n. from Yunnan. Lateantenna eurotella (Adamski, 2010) and L. ianella (Adamski, 2003) are newly recorded for China. The females of L. camelliae (Chen & Wu, 2013) and L. ianella (Adamski, 2003) are described for the first time. Photographs of adults and genitalia are provided. Based on male genitalia, a key to the species of Mainland China is provided. Two maps showing the distribution of these species are also included.
