Ancylis anthracaspis Meyrick, 1931:64 ; Kuznetsov 2001:306; Brown 2005:91. Type locality: China (Kwanshien).

Distribution

China (Sichuan).

Diagnosis

This species was described by Meyrick from Sichuan, China. The lectotype is deposited in BMNH. We did not collect this species and hence have not examined it in this study. However, it can be recognized by the illustration of the male genitalia and the figures of the adult provided by Kuznetsov (2001) .
