32586B79FFC64576AB9801CAFEBBFB13.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Meyrick (1910) described this species from India (Assam) based on one male and one female, and Clarke (1965) provided image of its male genitalia. Gozmány (1978) examined two additional males and two females from China (Gansu, Sichuan, Zhejiang), and provided the image of its female genitalia. During our study of Spatulignatha, we found the female of S. olaxana is the same as that of S. hemichrysa provided by Gozmány (1978) from the result of a critical examination of S. olaxana that were collected from different parts of China with the same collection data. We dissected a female of S. hemichrysa that was identified by Meyrick, borrowed from the British Natural History Museum, and found that the previously described female of S. hemichrysa by Gozmány (1978) was identical to the female of S. olaxana. The female genitalia of S. hemichrysa is described for the first time herein.	en	Liu, Shurong, Wang, Shuxia (2014): Taxonomic review of the genus Spatulignatha Gozmány, 1978 (Lepidoptera: Lecithocerinae), with descriptions of two new species in China.

32586B79FFC74579AB980653FB04FE72.taxon	description	Description. Adult (Figs. 1 f, 2 f) with wing expanse 17.0 – 19.0 mm. Female genitalia (Fig. 4 e): Apophyses posteriores about twice as long as apophyses anteriores, extending to anterior 1 / 3 of abdominal sternite VIII, distal 4 / 5 thickened. Lamella antevaginalis heavily sclerotized, nearly rectangular, extending backward posterolaterally, forming nearly right-angled triangular plate. Antrum columnar. Ductus bursae as long as corpus bursae, basal 1 / 4 narrow, distal 3 / 4 expanded; ductus seminalis arising from distal 1 / 3 of ductus bursae, its basal half expanded, distal half narrowed. Corpus bursae rounded; signum placed at distal 1 / 3, small, irregularly rounded, with teeth.	en	Liu, Shurong, Wang, Shuxia (2014): Taxonomic review of the genus Spatulignatha Gozmány, 1978 (Lepidoptera: Lecithocerinae), with descriptions of two new species in China.

32586B79FFC74579AB980653FB04FE72.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Spatulignatha olaxana can be separated from its congeners, except S. hemichrysa, by the blackish antenna, dark-brown costa of the forewing before middle and dark-brown fascia which runs obliquely from about 2 / 3 length of costa to before tornus, by the sacculus with an apical lobe that bears stiff hair-like scales in the male genitalia (Fig. 3 f). This species is very similar to S. hemichrysa, and the differences between them are discussed under S. hemichrysa.	en	Liu, Shurong, Wang, Shuxia (2014): Taxonomic review of the genus Spatulignatha Gozmány, 1978 (Lepidoptera: Lecithocerinae), with descriptions of two new species in China.

32586B79FFC74579AB980653FB04FE72.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Wu (1994) described this species on three male specimens. Park (2000) reported this species from Taiwan based on three males collected in Illan County. By comparison with the female genitalia of S. hemichrysa loaned from the Natural History Museum, we determined that the female of S. hemichrysa described by Gozmány (1978), from a specimen collected in Sichuan, China, is in fact the female of S. olaxana Wu.	en	Liu, Shurong, Wang, Shuxia (2014): Taxonomic review of the genus Spatulignatha Gozmány, 1978 (Lepidoptera: Lecithocerinae), with descriptions of two new species in China.
