Diagnosis. The forewing length is 9.5–11.0 mm in males and 11.5 mm in the female examined; the wingspan of the specimens from Laos is 16–19 mm in males and 17–20 mm in females ( Bucsek 2020). Miltochrista vidlickai superficially differs from M. terminata and M. nuranang sp. nov. in the more posteriorly curved medial line of the forewing. The genitalia structures of M. vidlickai are most similar to M. nuranang sp. nov. and the detailed comparison is provided below in the diagnosis of the latter species.

Distribution. Northern Laos (Houaphanh Province) ( Bucsek 2020), Northern Vietnam (Hòa Bình Prov.), and Northern Thailand (Chiang Mai province) (new records).
