Euproctis melanoma Collenettte, 1938: 214 ; Chao, 2003: 356.
Diagnosis. This species is similar to D. postincisa ( Moore, 1879) from Bengal ( Fig. 16 View FIGURES 13–18 ) in wing patterns, both have white forewings with a dark postmedial line, but D. melanoma can be separated from the latter by anal angle of forewing having a short clear-cut dark line. In male genitalia, D. melanoma resembles D. blacklinea , but can be distinguished from the latter by stronger bifid uncus, wider but shorter valve, and a smaller cornuti.
Material examined. Holotype, 1♂, Li-Jiang , Yunnan, China, altitude of 3000 m, 31. VIII. 1935, leg. H. Höne. Allotype, 1♀, same data as holotype . Paratype, 1♀, same locality with holotype, 9. IX. 1935, leg. H. Höne. 1♂, Hailuogou , Luding, Sichuan, China, 11. X. 2004, leg. M. Wang.
Distribution. China (Sichuan, Yunnan)
Remarks. This species is transferred into the genus Daplasa from Euproctis for the first time, based on its venation and male genital characters. The postmedial line of forewings is slightly curved in Sichuan specimen, but it is straight in types. This is considered as intraspecific variation due to geographical isolation. The male genitalia of D. melanoma from Sichuan is illustrated as Fig. 20 View FIGURES 19–22 .
