20. Trilocha friedeli Dierl, 1978 View in CoL ( FIGURES 13 View FIGURE 13 A–13B)

Trilocha friedeli Dierl, 1978 , Spixiana 3 (1): 243. TL: “S-Thailand, 20 km O. von Krabi”. Holotype: male (ZSM) [examined]. Trilocha friedeli Dierl, 1978: 248 ; Barlow, 1982: 45.

Diagnosis. This species is very similar to T. varians , but can be distinguished by the following characters: forewing with an obviously labiate spot in the discal cell; saccus not basally constricted; aedeagus strongly bent near the apex, posterior margin of the 8th sternite with two lateral processes. For worn specimens, genital dissection is strongly recommended to confirm identification.

Specimens examined. [GUANGDONG] Huizhou County (Nankunshan Provincial NR): 3 males, 24.VII.2005, Wei Li & Jing Li leg. (SCAU); [GUANGXI] Fangchenggang City (Shiwandashan National NR): 1 male, Milv Village, 6.IV.2002, Guo-Hua Huang leg. (HUNAU); Jingxi County: 2 males, Renzhuang Village, 10– 15.VII.2006, Liu-Sheng Chen & Xiong Wei leg. (SCAU).

Bionomics. The larval host is unknown.

Distribution. Mainland China (Guangdong, Guangxi), Indonesia, Peninsular Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, India.

Remarks. Holloway (1987) considered that the species is rare in Southeast Asia. We here record the species from China for the first time.
