Hiradonta hannemanni ; Schintlmeister 2013; 11: 219.

TL: Prov. Chekiang [= Zhejiang, China], West Tien-Mu-Shan; TD: ZFMK

Distribution: India: Uttarakhand. Elsewhere: China.

Material Examined: Uttarakhand, Uttarkashi dist., Govind WLS, CH 24 (31.1215°N; 78.0328°E, 2400 m), 10.vii.2012 (9 exs.), Coll. A. K. Sanyal.

Diagnosis: Half of forewing: ♂ 19mm. Hiradonta hannemanni is morphologically similar to H. ohashii Nakatomi, 2000 but differs in having less contrasting brown patterns of paler forewings which are warm chocolate brown in the latter.

The main disgnosis lies in the male genital apparatus where the tip of the uncus is rather pointed than rounded. Soccii tapered and slender. Valve narrow, straight and with rounded apex and having costal pointed projection which may vary in individuals but never circular as in H. anguistipennis Nakatomi & Kishida, 1984 . The 8 th abdominal segments are not bilobed.

Note: New record to India.
