Diagnosis.

The forewing length is 11.0 mm in the male holotype. Dasypolia kita is easily distinguishable from similar species by the bronze-brown thorax and forewing ground colour and the strongly bipectinate male antenna, which is similar only to D. brandstetteri . The key genital differences from other species in Tatsipolia are discussed above in the diagnosis of the D. kita species group. The female is unknown.

Distribution.

The species is currently known only from its type locality in western Sichuan Province, China.
