Macrobathra arneutis Meyrick, 1914: 218 View in CoL . TL: India (Assam). TD: NHMUK.

Material examined. CHINA, Fujian: 3♀, 8–9.VIII.2020 ; Guangxi: 7♁ 4♀, 1.VII.2009 – 9.VIII.2022 ; Guizhou: 3♁ 1♀, 17.VIII.2004 – 16.VII.2019 ; Hainan: 28♁ 7♀, 7.V.2010 – 27.V.2015 ; Hunan: 2♁ 2♀, 26.VII.2020 ; Jiangxi: 3♁ 2♀, 2–7.VII.1978 ; Yunnan: 12♁ 1♀, 16.V.2014 – 8.VI.2015 ; Xizang: 38♁ 32♀, 12.VIII.2003 – 5.VIII.2018 ; Zhejiang: 11♁ 6♀, 15.VIII.1999 – 1.VIII.2011 .

Diagnosis. Adult ( Fig. 4 View FIGURES 1‒5 ). Wingspan 10.5–12.0 mm. Macrobathra arneutis is diagnosed by the forewing with the outer margin of the subbasal fascia distinctly oblique outward in anterior half; in the male genitalia by the symmetrical socius and valva ( Fig. 21 View FIGURES 18‒23 ); and in the female genitalia by the ductus bursae sclerotized and slightly widened posteriorly, and the globular corpus bursae ( Fig. 35 View FIGURES 34‒39 ). It is similar to M. trigonilamella sp. nov., and the differences between them are stated in the diagnosis of the new species.

Distribution. China (Fujian, Guangxi, Guizhou, Hainan, Hunan, Jiangxi, Xizang, Yunnan, Zhejiang), India.
