Diagnosis. Adult ( Fig. 4). 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); and in the female genitalia by the ductus bursae sclerotized and slightly widened posteriorly, and the globular corpus bursae ( Fig. 35). It is similar to M. trigonilamella sp. nov., and the differences between them are stated in the diagnosis of the new species.
