(Figs 1, 5, 9)</p> <p>Diagnosis. The new species is similar to Epsteinius translucidus Lin, 2020, but differs from the latter by the valva with a much longer basal process in the male genitalia and the signa consisting of thinner spines in the female genitalia.</p> <p>Description. Wing expanse about 14.0 mm. Forewing length 5.0–7.0 mm. Head dark brown. Antenna brown. Labial palpus porrect, with 2nd segment pointed upwards and 3rd segment short, yellowish brown. Forewing reddish copper brown, with a dark purple black spot at apex; terminal fascia dark purple black; cilia pale copper at basal half, yellow at terminal half. Hindwing greyish black; cilia pale yellow. Hind leg tibia with four slender spurs, two longer in the middle and two shorter at the end.</p> <p>Male genitalia. Uncus pointed; gnathos bifurcated apically, upper lobe short and obtuse, lower lobe long and acute; juxta expanded laterally at apical part, apex bifurcate (upper lobe shorter and lower lobe longer, which are turned out in E. translucidus); valva short and broad, apical part densely with bristles; sacculus with a long process at base, which much longer than that in E. translucidus; aedeagus relatively thick, longer than valva-length, apex with a small sclerite and 2 long spines.</p> <p>Female genitalia. Apophysis anteriores vestigial, posteriores slender; a reversed V-shaped sclerite around ostium, post margin with dense bristles; ductus bursae thick and short; corpus bursae small relatively, signa consist of two spines, which thinner than those in E. translucidus.</p> <p>Larva. Body length of mature larvae 5.0–7.0 mm. Body ovate in shape, pale green, front wider slightly. There is a row of D tubercles, each bearing 2 spines. Dorsal middle has a big purple brown spot.</p> <p>Cocoon. Ovate in shape, yellowish brown in colour, 5.0×3.0mm in size.</p> <p>Biology. There are 3 generations in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan. It overwinters as mature larva in the cocoon. Cocoons are made under wilted leaves, soil or on rootstocks.</p> <p>Host plant. Camellia spp.</p> <p>Material examined. Holotype (♂). Yunnan, Xishuangbanna, Menghai, 1200 m, 1982.VIII.12, Hengwen Luo leg. (gen. slide no. L06103). Paratypes. 2♀ 1♂, same data as holotype (gen. slide no. L06104). All deposited in IZCAS.</p> <p>Distribution. Yunnan (Menghai).</p> <p>Etymology. The species is named in honour of Prof. Hengwen Luo for providing the type specimens and the information on the biology and immature stages of this new species.</p> <p>Remarks. The new species is the second known species in this genus. The type species, Epsteinius translucidus Lin, original described from Taiwan (Lin et al., 2020), was formally misidentified as Trichogyia nigrimargo Hering (original described from India) in Chinese mainland (Zhejiang, Anhui, Guizhou).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03B9D41C002CC614FF66B95FFC7EAED0	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

(Figs 4, 8)</p> <p>Diagnosis. The new species is similar to S. obatera Wu, 2011, but differ from the latter by the longer valva and the acute apex of the juxta in the male genitalia. The main external difference in external is that S. acuta does not have the discal spot found on the forewing of S. obatera. The 8th sternite is shorter than that of S. obatera. The juxtal apex of S. obatera is chimney-shaped.</p> <p>Description. Male wing expanse about 20.0 mm. Forewing length about 9.0 mm. Labial palpus long, porrect, apex pointed. Body pale brown. Forewing pale yellowish brown; discal spot bar-shaped; postmedial line pale gray, straight. Hindwing pale brown.</p> <p>Male genitalia. Eighth sternite concave in distal margin, bearing dense spines; tegumen sclerotized weakly; uncus and gnathos absent; valva long, arm-shaped, narrow near base; transtillae combined into one, bearing a pair of short lobes and a pair of long processes, which longer than half of valva-length; juxta ring-shaped, apically with a long angular process, apex pointed; aedeagus slender, longer than valva-length, densely with small spines in apical portion.</p> <p>Female genitalia.
