Material examined

VIETNAM • 1 ♀; Nghe An Province, Tuong Duong, Tam Quang ; 450 m a.s.l.; 15 Jul. 2006; Le X.H. leg.; hand net; IEBR • 1 ♀; Cao Bang Province, Phia Oac - Phia Den NP ; 22°35′18.2″ N, 105°52′33.2″ E; 1200 m a.s.l.; 22 May 2020; Hoang V.T. and Pham V.P. leg.; light trap; IEBR GoogleMaps • 1 ♀; Son La Province, Moc Chau ; 20 Jun. 2015; Hoang V.T. leg.; light trap; IEBR .

Remarks

Vietnamese specimens have fore wing length 16.3–17 mm, smaller than specimens examined by Gauld & Mitchell (1981), with ICI varying from 0.68–1.0; AI = 0.58–0.78; CI = 0.45–0.61.
