Diagnosis.

The forewing length is 12.0 mm in both sexes. Dasypolia vignai is externally similar to D. sejilaensis and D. cerritula but distinguished by the forewing having a slightly convex costal margin and a shorter and more rounded apex, and the more distinct forewing pattern in males, and the shorter hindwing discal spot in both sexes. Additionally, compared to the similar congeners, in D. vignai the reniform stigma is situated more inwardly from the forewing costa. The male genitalia of D. vignai differ clearly from other species in the D. vignai species group in the narrow cucullus, the long, downcurved and apically pointed ampulla, and the large and rounded valvula. A detailed comparison with the most morphologically similar D. sejilaensis is provided above in the diagnosis of the latter.

Distribution.

The species is known from two localities in Sichuan Province, south-western China.
