brown-grey, discal spot large but diffuse; hindwing strongly irrorated with dark brownish grey, discal spot rounded, small, rather prominent; veins dark brownish. Female unknown. Male genitalia (Fig. 16). Uncus very short, fine, tegumen medium-high, rather narrow. Juxta broadly subtriangular-pentagonal; vinculum long, strong, V-shaped. Valva long, saccular part broad, medial third constricted, apical part dilated, forming rather quadrangular, setose cucullus. Valval apex a small, triangular extension, ventral end a fine, short, acute process. Sacculus elongate, narrow, clavus represented by densely setose surface; harpe fully reduced. Aedeagus tubular, as long as valva, carina unspecialized. Vesica long, tubular, everted forward, recurved ventro-laterally. Basal third narrow, rather straight, membranous, medial third curved, scobinate, with two pocket-like lateral diverticula. Medial and distal thirds with long, narrow ventral field covered densely with short, fine spiculi; distal end with strong, long, crest-like terminal cornutus having open, crater-like apical end. Bionomics and distribution—The species is known by its unique holotype specimen which was collected at the same region as the preceding species; no additional information is known about its life history. Etymology - The name refers to the lanceolate shape of the forewing. Acknowledgements -The author would like to express his gratitude to Dr J. T. CHAO, Dr S. H. YEN, Mrs Y. M KUO, Mr Y. Y.
