(Plate XI-10)

Adela disjunctella Caradja, 1927: 64 . (Type locality: Szetschwan, Sunpanting [= Songpan, Sichuan, China]; MINGA); Hua 2005: 2 (list of China).

Nemophora disjunctella: Kozlov 1997a: 43; Sun et al. 2022: 312 (review).

Diagnosis. The biggest diagnostic character of this species from others is the transverse central fascia of the forewing, which is almost broken by lateral silver-gray bands at the middle and formed into two large spots. In addition, the subapical area of the forewing has seven black radial striae.

Specimens examined. Lectotype ♂ in MINGA, with label information as follows: “LECTOTYPE / Adela / disjunctella / ♂ Car. / Romänia DES. Dr. A. POPESCU - GORJ ”, “ Adela / disjunctella/ Typen Car.”, “Szetschwan / Sunpanting / Exp. St̂tzner”, and “34”.

Distribution. China (Sichuan).

Remarks. This species was described based on two male specimens from Sichuan Province deposited in MINGA. The lectotype of this species was designated by Dr. Popescu-Gorj and its male genitalia were dissected by Mihail Kozlov (Dr. Mihai Stănescu, per. comm.). The locality “Sunpanting” of the type specimens presented in the collected label should be the current Songpan County, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan. Since the original description by Caradja (1927), there have been no additional reports or redescriptions of this species to date.
