Diagnosis. Characterized by forewing with curved inner margin, three yellow spots near the tornus, a wavy antemedial line and a submarginal line edged with yellowish white.

Specimens examined. [GUANGDONG] Ruyuan County (Nanling National NR): 2 males, 18.V.2009, Hou- Shuai Wang leg. (SCAU); [GUANGXI] Xing’an County (Mao’ershan National NR): 1 male, 1.VII.2003, Guo-Hua Huang & De-Yu Xin leg. (SCAU); 2 males, 31.V.2008, Min Wang & Hou-Shuai Wang leg. (SCAU).

Distribution. Mainland China (Hubei, Guangdong, Guangxi, Shaanxi, Sichuan).

Remarks. This species is allied to M. baishanzuna Yang , which is a synonym of Mustilizans dierli based on the original description by Yang (1995b), but can be easily distinguished by the more shallowly bifid uncus and short and broad thumb-shaped sacculus that is folded upwards.
