None.</p><p>Diagnosis. This newly identified species, S. anchorata sp. nov. (Fig. 1), is related to S. monosa (Fig. 3) and S. wungchanngamii (Fig. 2). It can be distinguished by differences in the male genitalia, particularly the juxta, which is large and features a single lateral process, similar to S. monosa (Fig. 7) and S. wungchanngamii (Fig. 6). However, in S. anchorata sp. nov., the junction between the lateral process and the juxta forms an anchor-shaped structure with a thick base, a tapering shank, and thick, pointed arms of unequal length. In contrast, this structure is sclerotized and shorter in S. monosa and S. wungchanngamii .</p><p>Description. Adult (Fig. 1). Forewing length ca. 17 mm and wingspan 33 mm in male. Head yellowish brown. Male antennae long, broadly bipectinate in basal half. Body pale yellowish brown. Thorax and anterior two segments of abdomen with a longitudinal row of black tufts. Anal tuft black. Forewing pale yellowish brown, mixed with fine black dots, lighter towards outer margin; on outside of cell, a lustrous rounded patch bluish black inside and reddishbrown outside, crossed by a light transverse line; a black dot at middle of 1A, sometimes indistinct or absent; subterminal fascia fine, black, deeply indented at R 2 toward base. Hindwing yellowish brown to dark brown.</p><p>Male genitalia (Figs 5). Uncus slender, slightly bifid apically. Gnathos finger-shaped, shorter than uncus, apex blunt. Valva triangular, tapering, apex rounded; costa straight; saccular process absent. Juxta sclerotized, asymmetrical, with single lateral process; left lateral process anchor-shaped, base thick, shank tapering, arms thick and pointed, of unequal length. Aedeagus thick, apically constricted, apical spine absent.</p><p>Female unknown.</p><p>Distribution (Fig. 9): India (Arunachal Pradesh).</p><p>Etymology. The name “ anchorata ” is derived from the Latin word “anchora” meaning “anchor”, referring to the anchor-shaped lateral process in the juxta of the male genitalia.</p><p>Bionomics. We collected a single specimen in March at altitude about 1970 m a.s.l., with a light trap close to a broad-leaved forest with rhododendrons.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A6F771635BCF29FF44FC1DFDE712F4	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Forewing length 18 mm, wingspan 39 mm in male. The species is very similar to S. chalcites in appearance, but it can be distinguished by the middle of costal margin area of forewing is covered by dense black scales and the medial patch of forewing is conspicuous. In S. chalcites, the forewing only bears small scattered black scales, and the medial patch of forewing is blurry. In the male genitalia, the species has left process of juxta long plate-shaped, which is sawblade-shaped in S. chalcites .</p><p>Distribution (Fig. 9). India: Meghalaya (Wu et al. 2022); Arunachal Pradesh (Present study). Global records: China (Xizang: Motuo), Myanmar (Kachin) (Wu et al. 2022).</p><p>Remarks. The species was earlier reported from Meghalaya (Wu et al. 2022). In the present study, the species was collected from the lowland forest of Lower Dibang valley, Arunachal Pradesh (India).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A6F7716358CF2AFF44FB4DFB0D125B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
