223987C00F11FFD8FF4C6FF6FCC1FA6C.taxon	description	Male genitalia: Uncus small, produced posteromedially, with deep incision in middle. Socius from slender to wide, ending in point. Gnathos fused with tuba anales, forming a subscaphium; gnathal arm obsolete; ventral plate membranous or sclerotized. Valva broad, with long hair ventrally. Sacculus relatively short, varied in shape. Saccus elongate, Y-shaped posteriorly in most species. Aedeagus with one or two rows of distinct teeth; cornuti present. Female genitalia: Apophyses posteriores much longer than apophyses anteriores; apophyses anteriores branched basally. Ostium bursae widely open. Antrum heavily sclerotized. Ductus bursae partly sclerotized. Corpus bursae membranous; signum usually a narrow plate with large lateral flange at each side.	en	Liu, Haoyu, Wang, Shuxia (2023): Taxonomic study of the genus Thecobathra Meyrick (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutidae) in China, with descriptions of eight new species.

223987C00F11FFD8FF4C6FF6FCC1FA6C.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Thecobathra is similar to Niphonympha Meyrick, 1914 in having a white-grounded forewing. It can be distinguished by the forewing with R 1 bent at base, the saccus usually Y-shaped posteriorly, and the aedeagus with one or two rows of teeth. In Niphonympha, R 1 is almost straight, the rod-shaped saccus is not well divided posteriorly, and the aedeagus is absent of rows of teeth.	en	Liu, Haoyu, Wang, Shuxia (2023): Taxonomic study of the genus Thecobathra Meyrick (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutidae) in China, with descriptions of eight new species.

223987C00F13FFDAFF4C6D9BFD25FBEA.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Thecobathra acrivalvata is similar to T. albana Liu, 1980. It can be distinguished by the outer margin of the socius obtusely produced between middle and distal 1 / 4, and the valva concave on the ventral margin beyond end of the sacculus (Fan et al. 2008: 21, fig. 12). In T. albana, the socius is subparallel-sided in basal 3 / 4 and narrowed from distal 1 / 4 to apex, and the valva is not concave on the ventral margin (Fig. 11).	en	Liu, Haoyu, Wang, Shuxia (2023): Taxonomic study of the genus Thecobathra Meyrick (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutidae) in China, with descriptions of eight new species.

223987C00F04FFCDFF4C6D9BFF34FA0F.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The new species is similar to T. microsignata Liu, 1980. It can be distinguished by the apically rounded sacculus without sclerotized bands along the dorsal and ventral margins, and the aedeagus with teeth on one side. In T. microsignata, the sacculus is oblique inward apically and has sclerotized bands along both dorsal and ventral margins, and the aedeagus has teeth on both sides.	en	Liu, Haoyu, Wang, Shuxia (2023): Taxonomic study of the genus Thecobathra Meyrick (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutidae) in China, with descriptions of eight new species.

Hindwing pale grey, greyish distally; fringe pale grey, mottled with yellow. Legs white; spurs and tarsi of fore- and midlegs yellowish brown; foreleg dark brown ventrally; tibia of hindleg with black scales at apex, tarsi yellow except first tarsomere yellowish brown dorsally. Male genitalia (Fig. 21). Uncus triangularly produced, bifid. Socius inflated from near base to 3 / 5, produced at basal 3 / 5 on outer margin, then narrowed to apex, with two thorns apically. Subscaphium narrow, parallel-sided. Ventral plate of gnathos long, narrowed anteriorly, deeply concave in V shape on posterior margin, densely setose. Valva slightly narrowed from base to rounded apex; dorsoproximal process gradually narrowed, with a long spine arising from inner margin, curved at base, nearly straight distally; inner process narrow, elongate triangular. Sacculus narrower basally, distal 2 / 3 wider and subparallel to rounded apex. Saccus with posterior 1 / 4 U-shaped, anterior 3 / 4 narrow and subparallel sided, apex rounded.
