Eupoecilia sanguisorbana (Herrich-Schäffer, 1856)

( Figs. 1 g, 3d, 4f)

Cochylis sanguisorbana Herrich-Schäffer, 1856: 158 . TL: Europe.

Eupoecilia sanguisorbana (Herrich-Schäffer, 1856) ; Razowski, 1970a: 279.

Material examined. CHINA: Heilongjiang Province: 2 ΨΨ, Mt. Kalun, Heihe, 120 m, 25.vii.1997 (Houhun Li); 1 Ψ, Nenjiang, 300 m, 29.vii.1997 (Houhun Li); 4 ɗɗ, Mt. Xiaogu, Wudalianchi, 270 m, 30.vii.1997 (Houhun Li).

Distribution. China (Heilongjiang) (first record from China), Europe.

Diagnosis. Wing expanse 12.5–13.5 mm. This species is similar to E. citrinana in appearance. The differences between the two are described under E. citrinana . It is also similar to E. angustana in the male genitalia, but it can be distinguished by the distinct median fascia on the forewing ( Fig. 1 g) and an aedeagus that is twice the long as the valva with an apical projection in the male genitalia ( Fig. 3 d). In E. angustana the forewing has a faint median fascia ( Fig. 1 c), and the aedeagus is 1.25 times the length of valva and has no apical projection ( Fig. 2 c). The female genitalia are characterized by the papilla analis shorter than the apophysis posterioris, the ductus bursae as long as the corpus bursae, and the corpus bursae with larger area of sclerotization ( Fig. 4 f).

Remarks. This species is recorded for the first time from China.
