03A3878BFB7FFFC6FF70F412157AFABF.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This species is superficially similar to P. brevisaccata Du, Wang & Li, 2013 by sharing a similar forewing pattern. It can be distinguished from the latter by the juxta with a pair of long lateral lobes and the aedeagus with a spiniform cornutus in the male genitalia, and the corpus bursae with two signa in the female genitalia. In P. brevisaccata, the juxta is not distinctly bilobed, the aedeagus lacks a cornutus, and the signum is absent.	en	Hu, Sha, Wang, Shuxia (2017): Taxonomic study of the genus Promalactis Meyrick (Lepidoptera, Oecophoridae) from Hainan Island, China (III).

03A3878BFB79FFC1FF70F29B17BAF8F9.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This new species shares similar patterns with P. apicispinifera Wang, Kendric & Sterling, 2009 and P. unifurcata sp. nov. in both forewing patterns and male genitalia. Promalactis apicifurcata sp. nov. and P. unifurcata sp. nov. can be distinguished from P. apicispinifera by the sacculus being produced to a dorsoapical process and having a right ventral angle, while the sacculus of P. apicispinifera is simply produced to a distal process and lacks a ventral angle; P. apicifurcata sp. nov. can be separated from P. unifurcata sp. nov. by both the right and left lateral lobes furcated, while the right lateral lobe is not furcate in P. unifurcata.	en	Hu, Sha, Wang, Shuxia (2017): Taxonomic study of the genus Promalactis Meyrick (Lepidoptera, Oecophoridae) from Hainan Island, China (III).
