The genus Teliphasa Moore, 1888 from China is reviewed. Nine species are treated, including descriptions of four new species: Teliphasa spinosa Li, sp. n., T. similalbifusa Li, sp. n., T. erythrina Li, sp. n., and T. hamata Li, sp. n. Photographs of adults, wing venation, and both male and female genitalia are provided, along with a key for the identification of all the Chinese species.

Teliphasa comprises nine species worldwide, occurring in the Oriental, Palaearctic and Ethiopian regions. Five species were recorded in China prior to this study. The aim of the present paper is to review nine species of Teliphasa recognized in China, including descriptions of four new species.
The present study is based on the examinations of the specimens collected by light traps. Adults were examined using an Olympus SZX9 stereomicroscope. Permanent mounting methods of genitalia and venation follow the techniques introduced by
All the studied specimens, including the types of the new species, are deposited in the Insect Collection of College of Life Sciences,

Adult (Figs
Male genitalia. Uncus various in shape. Gnathos separated, being paired long processes, lateral arms slender. Scaphium columnar, usually narrowed gradually from base to apex. Valva extremely broad, roundly expanded, with numerous long setae. Costa well-developed, varied in shape. Transtilla banded, extending backward to base of uncus, joined medially. Sacculus narrowly banded, sometimes ill-defined. Saccus separated, broad, inverted triangular, or complete, only protruding in short triangle, or ill-defined. Phallus stout, with one or two complicated cornuti.
Female genitalia. Apophyses anteriores about same length as apophyses posteriores, occasionally longer than apophyses posteriores. Antrum usually strongly sclerotized. Ductus bursae shorter than or as long as corpus bursae. Corpus bursae pyriform or elliptical; signum paired, often ridged medially.
This genus is much similar to Termioptycha Meyrick, 1889 superficially by having both discal and discocellular spots with scale tufts, the postmedian line relatively broad and curved outward to form an angle medially, and the subrectangular spots set uniformly along the inner side of the terminal line. Teliphasa can be easily separated from Termioptycha by the costa of forewing without a stigma in the median area, and the hindwing with a discocellular spot; in Termioptycha, the costa of forewing has a distinct stigma in the median area, and the hindwing lacks the discocellular spot.
Differences within a species exist in Teliphasa, including the variations of the wing color and the degree of scale density. For example, T. elegans is divided into a blackish form and a whitish form due to such variations (

Holotype ♂ – CHINA, Tengchong County (25.29°N, 98.70°E), Yunnan Province, 2144 m, 15.viii.2014, leg. Kaijian Teng, Shurong Liu and Hua Rong, genitalia slide No. LLJ15172.
Paratypes – 2♂, 2♀, Nankang, Baoshan, Yunnan Province, 2009 m, 8–10.vii.2014, other same date as holotype.
This species is different from its congeners by the valva triangularly protruding dorso- and ventro-apically and the juxta with clustered spines in the male genitalia. This species is similar to T. hamata sp. n. superficially, but can be differentiated by the subrhombic uncus, the approximately fan-shaped valva, and the phallus with one cornutus in the male genitalia. In T. hamata sp. n., the uncus is trapeziform, the valva is subrhombic, and the phallus has two cornuti in the male genitalia.

China (Yunnan).
The specific name is derived from the Latin spinosus (with many spines), in reference to the juxta with clustered spines in the male genitalia.
The labial palpus of this species is not sexual dimorphic. The shape and pattern of wing is consistent with the diagnostic characters of Teliphasa, and the male genitalia resemble other congeners in having a paired gnathos, the roundly expanded valva, and the separated inverted triangular saccus. Therefore, we regard this species as a new species of Teliphasa and describe it here.
Holotype ♂ – CHINA, Mt. Daming (23.40°N, 108.48°E), Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, 1250 m, 20.v.2011, leg. Linlin Yang and Yinghui Mou, genitalia slide No. LLJ13039.
This species is similar to T. albifusa superficially, but can be separated from the latter by the gnathos about 3/5 the length of the scaphium, the costa without process near base on the ventral margin, and the phallus with two cornuti in the male genitalia. In T. albifusa, the gnathos is about 3/4 the length of the scaphium, the costa is protruding subtriangularly near base on the ventral margin, and the phallus has a single cornutus in the male genitalia. In addition, T. similalbifusa sp. n., T. hamata sp. n. and T. sakishimensis are much similar in the male genitalia by the subtrapeziform uncus, the approximately rhombic valva, the broadly banded transtilla, the irregularly shaped juxta, the separated saccus, and one of the paired cornuti stretching out from before the apex of the phallus. However, the gnathos is hooked apically, and the stretching out cornutus is stout and shorter than 1/3 the length of the phallus in T. similalbifusa sp. n.; the gnathos is obtuse apically, and the stretching out cornutus is slender and longer than 1/2 the length of the phallus in T. hamata sp. n.; the gnathos is also obtuse apically, but the stretching out cornutus is horned and slightly longer than 1/3 the length of the phallus in T. sakishimensis.

The specific name is derived from the Latin simil- (similar), and the specific name of another species albifusa, in reference to the similarity of the two species in the superficial morphology.
Holotype ♂ – CHINA, Bubang, Mengla County (21.60°N, 101.59°E), Yunnan Province, 650 m, 23.viii.2005, leg. Yingdang Ren, genitalia slide No. WYP05198.
This species is obviously different from its congeners by the forewing reddish brown and the hindwing deep gray tinged with pale reddish brown in the distal area. In addition, this species is distinguishable by the subtriangular uncus and the relatively narrow valva with length obviously longer than the maximum width in the male genitalia. In other Teliphasa species, the uncus is not subtriangular, and the relatively broad valva is shorter than or equal to the maximum width.

The specific name is derived from the Latin erythrinus (red), in reference to the forewing reddish brown in the distal area.

Weichun Li.
This species is similar to T. albifusa superficially in the forewing color, but can be distinguished by the gnathos about 2/3 the length of the scaphium and the phallus with two cornuti in the male genitalia. In T. albifusa, the gnathos is about 3/4 the length of the scaphium, and the phallus has a single cornutus in the male genitalia. Moreover, T. hamata sp. n., T. similalbifusa sp. n., and T. sakishimensis are extremely similar in the male genitalia, and differences between them are stated under T. similalbifusa sp. n.

This species is different from its congeners by the forewing suffused with olive-green scales in the median area, the rather thick male labial palpus extending to thorax, and the dorsal side of the labial palpus with long brownish yellow hairs in the distal 3/4. In addition, this species is similar to T. amica in the male genitalia (Fig.
