Metalimnobia (M.) caudifusca sp. nov. can also be easily distinguished from M. (M.) quadrimaculata and M. (M.) rectangularis by the wing pattern ( Metalimnobia caudifusca has no spot at the base of the wing, but Metalimnobia quadrimaculata and Metalimnobia rectangularis have a spot at the base of their wings) and the shape of the paramere (Fig. 4c, f-h). Notably, the type specimens of M.
