3. Anarsia paraisogona Park & Ponomarenko, 1996

( Figs. 3 , 24 , 43, 43 a)

Anarsia paraisogona Park & Ponomarenko, 1996: 43 ; Ponomarenko, 2009: 348. TL: Thailand (North). The holotype is in BMNH.

Diagnosis. Adult ( Figs. 3 , 24 ): Wingspan, 11–11.5 mm. The species is superficially similar to A. isogona Meyrick , with a large subtriangular costal patch on the forewing transversally reaching about 3/5 towards dorsum with truncated lower margin, but can be distinguished by having a long expansible hair pencil on underside of the forewing. The male genitalia are quite different from each other as shown in the figures ( Figs. 42 and 43 ). The male genitalia are very similar to those of A. acrotoma Meyrick , but can be distinguished by the right valva with more expanded distal half and more slender ventral process, which is longer than 1/2 the length of the right valva. The hindwing is grayish, with anterior expansion of costa well-developed to beyond middle; the venation is similar to that of A. isogona , with M2 close to M3 basally, M3 and CuA1 connate.

Male genitalia ( Figs. 43, 43 a): Uncus relatively long, hook-shaped apically. Tegumen longer than valva, expanded on lateral margin medially, narrower towards apex. Left valve ovate, inflated at base, with membranous flap on surface basally and a strongly curved process arising from near base, with round apex. Right valva relatively narrow, slightly dilated at base and broadened beyond middle, with a long, heavily sclerotized process before middle. Phallus arched, heavily ankylosed with juxta and vinculum at basal 1/4.

Material examined. VIETNAM: 1 ♂, Vinh Phuc Prov., Tam Dao Nat. Park, 9 vii 2003 (KT Park, & Kim), gen. slide no. CIS-6416; 1 ♂, same locality, 30 vii 2006 (Park, Chae, & Cuong); 2 ♂, 1♀, Nhin Binh Prov., Cuc Phuong Park, 750m, 30 vii 2006 (Park, Kim, & Kang), gen. slide no. CIS-6427, -6432.

Distribution. Vietnam (new record; Vinh Phuc Prov.), Thailand (North).

Remarks. In the original description of the species by Park and Ponomarenko (1995), it was erroneously described that the forewing lacks a long hairpencil on the underside of the forewing, but we here confirm that the species has a well-developed hairpencil.
