We examined this specimen and compared it to the type of hainana . Its palpi, wing pattern and male genitalia show that it belongs to the genus Scobura but differs from all the known species of the genus. Externally it resembles S. lyso, but can be distinguished from it by the following characters: forewing upperside with cell spots conjoined, spot in space CuA2 wider; hindwing with dot-like spot in space M3. Male genitalia with dorsal side of valva distally convex, ventrodistal process shorter than half the length of valva. Based on these characters, this skipper should be assigned to Scobura and raised to the species level: S. hainana (Gu &amp; Wang, 1997) .</p><p>Young (1996) reared Scobura larvae from Tianjinshan, Guangdong Province, and obtained 2 male specimens, which were identified as S. coniata (Hering) . In his revision of the S. coniata species complex, Devyatkin (2004) described S. youngi as a new species on the basis of the two males reared by Young. Based on the original description and illustrations, youngi has the following character states: forewing cell spots conjoined, the lower one produced toward base; spot in space 2 (CuA1) elongate, produced toward base; hindwing spot in spaces 4-5 (M1-M2) rounded, spot in space 3 (M3) dot-like, spot in space 2 (CuA1) elongate; male genitalia: cuiller (harpe) distally rounded, much shorter 1/2 the length of clasp. These features and male genitalia are identical to those of S. hainana (Gu &amp; Wang, 1997), whose type speciemen was examined in the present study. According to the original description, S. youngi is smaller (forewing length = 19 mm), but this is likely due to artifical rearing. Therefore, S. youngi is considered a synonym of S. hainana . Female adult (Figs. 17−18) and female genitalia (Fig. 58) are illustrated for the first time.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1F7B87E5FFF4D701FF7D9896FBE3F8FD	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Wings upperside dark brown, forewing cell spots conjoined, lower one larger, rectangular, spot in space CuA1 largest, spots in spaces M3, R3-R5 small, spot in space CuA2 pale yellow; hindwing without spots. Forewing underside brown covered densely with yellow brown scales at costa and apex, broadly white along dorsum distally; markings similar to those on upperside; hindwing underside ochreous with white spots in spaces CuA2, CuA1, M3, M2-M1 and Sc+R1, of which the spot in space M2-M1 largest, those in spaces CuA1 and Sc+R1 large and sub-equal, dot in space M3, all these white spots surrounded by black ferruginous spots.</p><p>Male genitalia (Figs. 59−63): Uncus longer than tegumen, thin and long distally; socius slender and pointed at tip; saccus long; valva with ventrodistal process rather pointed; aedeagus with suprazonal sheath prominently shorter than subzonal sheath; juxta spade-like, thin and long basally.</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>China (Hainan), Laos (Osada et al., 1999), Vietnam (Ikeda et al., 2001; Miyazaki et al., 2007).</p><p>Etymology</p><p>The scientific name, parawoolletti (noun) is derived from para [= close to] + woolletti .</p><p>Remarks</p><p>The new species is very similar to S. woolletti (Riley, 1923) from Borneo (Fig. 21−22, 64−69), but can be distinguished from it by the following characters: hindwing underside ground color ochreous; all white spots surrounded by large black ferruginous spots; the spot in space M2-M1 the largest, spots in spaces CuA1 and Sc+R1 subequal; valva of male genitalia with harpal process much broader at base and sharply pointed at the end. The new species might be considered as a subspecies of S. wooletti, but judging from the disjunct distribution as well as the morphological difference, we consider it a distinct species. The status of females of S. woolletti from Manipur and Siam that Evans (1949) listed and ssp. cephalina Evans, 1932 from Java needs to be reexamined.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1F7B87E5FFF7D704FF7D9F2CFE85FC78	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Palpi with the second segment long and erect, densely covered with yellow brown scales ventrally; the third segment thin and pointed, prominently protruding. Wings upperside with ground color brown, forewing cell spots conjoined, lower one larger and produced toward base; spot in space CuA1 largest, spots in spaces M3 and R3-R5 small, spot in space CuA2 pale yellow; hindwing without spots. Forewing underside brown with dense yellow brown scales at costa and apex, a broad white area along dorsum distally; markings similar to those on upperside except for small spots in spaces M1 and M2; hindwing underside ground color yellow brown with ferruginous scales distally and a broad grey brown area along dorsum; subapical area with small white spots in spaces Sc+R1 to CuA2, of which in spaces M1 and M2 totally conjoined, forming a single larger spot, in spaces Rs and M3 dot-like; cell with two white small spots distally, upper one dot-like; all white spots surrounded by dark area.</p><p>Male genitalia (Figs. 70−74): Uncus longer than tegumen, triangular basally, thin and long distally; socius slender and pointed at tip; saccus long; valva with ventrodistal process rather rounded, armed with small spines apically; aedeagus with suprazonal sheath noticeably shorter than subzonal sheath; juxta funnel-like, thin and long basally, pointed at tip.</p><p>Distribution</p><p>China (Sichuan, Guangdong).</p><p>Remarks</p><p>Externally the new species is very similar to S. tytleri from Manipur, Assam (Evans, 1914; 1949), but can be distinguished from the latter by the following characters: forewing upperside with spot in space M3, underside with spots in spaces M1 and M2; valva with the ventrodistal process symmetrical distally. The new species also resembles S. parawoolletti, but can be distinguished from the latter by the combination of the following characteristics: forewing underside with small white spots in spaces M1 and M2; hindwing underside with white spots in discoidal cell, spaces Rs and M3; juxta with lower margin gradually narrowed; valva with ventrodistal process distally rounded.</p><p>Both S. tytleri and the new species are the members of a vicariant species group of woolletti in sharing lateral processes of the tegument which is a unique feature of the group in the genus.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1F7B87E5FFF1D705FF7D9BFAFB9BFA5D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
