The genus
We examined specimens of
Examination of morphology: after maceration, male and female genitalia were dissected and mounted in euparal on glass side. The abdominal integument was cut lengthwise, descaled, and mounted on the slide, dissection of genitalia follows
Species of this genus typically have a medium wingspan, long bipectinate antennae, a red patagium, a narrow red abdomen, yellow tegulae, white or yellow longitudinal fascia transversing brown forewings, pale white or yellow-white hindwings with various sized brown spots in terminal and discal areas.

2 | Apical diverticulum of vesica near long as wide; subbasal diverticulum straight ( |

The new subspeciesis larger than other
Known only from the Fan-si-pan mountains in far northern Vietnam. Two male specimens were attracted to light at the end of May at elevations ranging from 1600 to 1800 m.
The specific name refers to the type-locality of the new subspecies.
