( Figs 32 , 112 )

Type material. Holotype ( Figs 32 , 112 ): male, “N. Thailand | Chiang Mai-prov. | Doi Inthanon-NP, 1416m | 18°30'59''N, 98°28'13'' E | 6.–7.VI.2005 leg. K. | Cerný [recte: Černý]” / “Slide | AV7878 ♂ | A. Volynkin ” ( MWM / ZSM, ex CKC).

Diagnosis. The forewing length is 12.0 mm in the male holotype. Teulisna inthanona sp. n. is morphologically most similar to T. obliquistria , from which the male of the new species differs in the somewhat broader forewing. Compared to T. obliquistria , the male genital capsule of T. inthanona sp. n. has a markedly longer and thicker pseudoampulla and a longer and slightly broader distal saccular process. The phallus of the new species is somewhat broader than in the similar congener. In the vesica, T. inthanona sp. n. differs from T. obliquistria in the markedly broader proximal section with a larger, saccate ventral diverticulum (it is reniform in T. obliquistria ), the broader medial diverticulum, and the considerably longer and broader distal diverticulum with a larger terminal cornutus.

The female is unknown.

Distribution. The new species is currently known only from its type locality in Northern Thailand (Chiang Mai Province).

Etymology. The specific epithet is derived from the Mount Doi Inthanon, where the new species is found. The name is a noun in the nominative singular.
