Promalactis apicesetifera Du, Li & Wang, 2011: 52. Type locality: China

Material examined.

1♂, Laos, Xiang khaung Prov., Ban Tha, 1298 m, 7 August 2017, Bae et al., gen. slide no. 9842/S. Kim.

Diagnosis.

The species ( Fig. 2G ) is similar to P. zolotuhini Lvovsky, 2013 in the wing pattern but can be easily recognized from the latter species by the yellowish-brown ground color and relatively broad subbasal band and the absence of medial band of the forewing. The male genitalia ( Fig. 4 J–M ) are characterized in having the triangular juxta bearing lateral cylindrical lobes.

Distribution.

Laos (northeast; new record), China (south).
