Paratype
One male, same data as holotype.
Diagnosis
This species resembles C. albistrigella (Hampson, 1896) . It can be distinguished from the latter by the apex of valva truncate on dorsal half, concave on ventral half, the vesica with a long spine-like cornutus in the male genitalia. In C. albistrigella , the apex of valva is convex, and the cornutus is absent.
Description
Adult ( Figure 1D View Figure 1 ). Forewing length 10.0–10.5 mm. Frons and vertex white. Labial palpus pale brown, white on dorsal and inner surfaces. Maxillary palpus pale brown, tip white. Antenna white on dorsal surface, orange yellow on ventral surface. Patagium white except pale brown laterally. Thorax and tegula pale brown. Forewing yellowish white, scattered with pale brown scales; costal margin densely covered with pale brown scales; cell with a black spot at about three-fifths on lower margin; subterminal fascia pale brown, angled outwards at about costal one-third; terminal fascia pale brown, with two black dots at tornus; cilia yellowish white. Hindwing and cilia white. Legs white, tarsi pale brown and white alternately on outer side; fore- and midlegs pale brown on outer side.
Male genitalia
Uncus downcurved conspicuously, basal one-third broad, distal two-thirds thin, bluntly rounded apically ( Figure 2D View Figure 2 ). Gnathos slightly shorter than uncus, broad basally, tapering to blunt apex. Valva short and broad, apex truncate on dorsal half, concave on ventral half; costa slightly arched near middle. Pseudosaccus thumbshaped. Vinculum broad basally, narrowed towards blunt apex. Phallus about twice as long as valva, slightly curved near middle; vesica with single long spine-like cornutus.
Female
Unknown.
Distribution
China (Yunnan).
Etymology
The specific name is derived from the Latin prefix uni- = single, and the Latin spineus = spinous, in reference to the vesica with a single spine-like cornutus in the male genitalia.
