( Figs 9 , 25 , 40 )

Lista furciillatusa Wang, Chen & Wu, 2019: 85 . TL: China (Tibet).

Material examined. CHINA, Hainan Province: 1 ♂ , Yinggeling Reserves , 954 m, 4.IX.2013, coll. XH Chen, slide No. RH 16348 ; 1 ♂, Limushan Forest Park, 607 m, 13. V.2015, coll. PX Cong et al., slide No. RH 16118 ; 1 ♂, 1 ♀, Wuzhishan Nature Reserves , 738 m, 24.VII.2016, coll. X Bai et al., slide Nos. RH 16171 ♂, RH16172 ♀.

Adult ( Fig. 9 ) wingspan 20.0–21.0 mm.

Diagnosis. This species is characterized by the uncus with a long-forked process laterally, a gnathos with a bifurcated distal process, each furcation serrated apically, and inner process of the sacculus serrated at apex ( Fig. 25 ). It is similar to L. haraldusalis ( Walker, 1859) in both wing pattern and male genitalia, but can be distinguished in the male genitalia by the uncus with lateral process forked, valva with costa swollen at the distal 1/3, and sub-rounded juxta with lateral lobes about 1/3 the length of the juxta ( Fig. 25 ). In L. haraldusalis , the lateral process of the uncus is curved and spine-shaped, costa of the valva is not swollen distally, and shorter lateral lobes of the juxta are about 1/5 the length of the juxta ( Fig. 4 ).

Distribution. China (Hainan, Tibet).
