( Figs. 5 , 10 , 16 )

Andrioplecta shoreae Komai, 1992: 173 . Type locality: Borneo (Sabah, Sandakan). Holotype (♂): OPU.

Material examined. Guangxi: 3 ♂, 2 ♀, Qingshan Forest Farm, Pingxiang, 300 m, 22.vii.2011, leg. Bingbing Hu. Hainan: 1 ♀, Jianfengling, 940 m, 6.vi.2007, leg. Zhiwei Zhang and Weichun Li.

Diagnosis. Adult ( Fig. 5 ) with wingspan 10.0−13.0 mm. The forewing of A. shoreae , with a short black submedian patch, is extremely similar to that of A. pulverula ( Meyrick, 1912) , but A. shoreae can be distinguished by the S-shaped aedeagus in the male genitalia ( Fig. 10 ) and the wide membranous ductus bursae in the female genitalia ( Fig. 16 ). In A. pulverula the aedeagus is nearly straight, and the ductus bursae is narrowly sclerotized.

Hosts. The larvae utilize mainly plants in Dipterocarpaceae : Anisoptera , Dipterocarpus baudii , Shorea curtisii , S. densiflora , S. macrophylla , S. parvifolia , S. platyclados , S. robusta (seeds and seedlings) ( Komai 1999).

Distribution. China (Guangxi, Hainan), Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand ( Komai 1999). Remarks. This species is recorded for the first time from China.
