Distribution. China (Chongqing, Gansu, Hubei, Qinghai, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Sichuan, Taiwan, Xizang, Yunnan); Nepal (Junbesi, Trakshindhu).

Remarks. The medial section of forewing costal vein in most male specimens of this species is thickened, but with different variations ( Fig. 26 ). The shape of entoprocessus is stable, which is broad and with a spinous process at tip.
