Diagnosis. Adult ( Fig. 2 ) with wingspan 10.0−16.0 mm. This species is characterized by the forewing having a distinct black submedian patch followed by an ill-defined grayish-brown dorsal blotch. Andrioplecta oxystaura (Meyrick) resembles A. suboxystaura Komai, 1992 in genitalia, but in A. oxystaura the cucullus has two strong deciduous bristles on the outer surface and the aedeagus bears four deciduous cornuti in the male genitalia ( Fig. 8 ); the ductus bursae is about 1/3 the length of the corpus bursae in the female genitalia ( Fig. 13 ). In A. suboxystaura the cucullus lacks such bristles and the aedeagus lacks cornuti, and the ductus bursae is about 1/2 the length of the corpus bursae ( Komai 1992: fig. 45).

Distribution. China (Anhui, Chongqing, Gansu, Guizhou, Hainan, Henan, Hunan, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Shanghai, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Zhejiang), Thailand.
