Treatment

Bucsekatha nigriprosoma ( Fang, 2000) View in CoL , comb. n.

Eilema nigriprosoma Fang, 2000 View in CoL , Fauna Sinica. Insecta View in CoL , 19: 257, 540, fig. 178 (male genitalia); pl. XII, fig. 16 (moth) (Type locality: [S China] “ Hainan Jianfengling”).

Note. Unfortunately, the authors of the present paper had no chance to examine specimens of Bucsekatha from the island of Hainan. The male genital capsule of B. nigriprosoma View in CoL is very similar to B. pseudobrevivalva View in CoL and, taking into account the wide distributional range of the latter, B. nigriprosoma View in CoL may be conspecific to it. Clarification of this question requires the examination of the vesica structure of the Hainan population.

Distribution. South China: Hainan Island ( Fang 2000).
