Lista monticola Yamanaka, 2000

( Figs 16 , 31 )

Lista monticola Yamanaka, 2000: 68 . TL: Nepal.

Material examined. CHINA, Yunnan Province: 1 ♂, Ruili Botanical Garden , 1000 m, 6.VIII.2005, coll. YD Ren, slide No. WYP05169 .

Adult ( Fig. 16 ) wingspan 23.0 mm.

Diagnosis. This species is characterized by the subquadrate uncus, gnathos with a hooked distal process, costa with distal 1/4 swollen, sacculus with two thorn-shaped dorsal processes, and phallus only half the length of the sacculus ( Fig. 31 ). It is similar to L. menglaensis Wang, Chen & Wu, 2019 in the male genitalia, but it can be distinguished from the latter by the gnathos without a trifurcate, distal process, outer dorsal process of the sacculus shorter than the inner one, and sclerotized median plate with a conical process at the dorsolateral side in the male genitalia; in L. menglaensis , the distal process of the gnathos is trifurcate, two dorsal processes of the sacculus are equal in length, and median plate lacks a conical process dorsolaterally ( Fig. 30 ).

Distribution. China (Yunnan), Nepal.
