Remarks on the hitherto available descriptions of the species.

In the original description of Heteroconis terminalis , the male head is mentioned as having "a swollen cap or top piece" ( Banks 1913). Withycombe (1925) re-examined a paratype of this species and gave a rather detailed description of its morphology, pointing out that "The latero-dorsal portions of the frons grow out as curved, horn-like projections". Examination of the above Chinese specimens confirmed that there is a pair of latero-dorsal projections on the frons ( Liu 2003; Liu et al. 2004). Wing measurements of the Chinese specimens examined in the present study are as follows: forewing length 2.8-3.2 mm, width 1.0-1.3 mm; hindwing length 2.6-3.0 mm, width 0.8-1.1 mm. Male terminalia sclerotized. Stylus about 5-times as long as broad in lateral view, with short and thick spines on distal third.
