( Figs 2P–R ; 3P–R )

Torodora nabiella Park, 2006 . J. Asia Pacific Entomol. 9: 333. TL: Cuc Phoung Natl. Park, N. Vietnam.

Diagnosis

Adult ( Figure 2P–R ). Wingspan 15.5 mm. This species is similar to the preceding new species, T. sirtalis Wu , T. rectilinea Park and T. acrifera (Meyrick) , with the forewing colour pattern, dividing into two parts: the dark-brown basal part and the paler distal part, but it can be easily differentiated from them by the different structures of the male genitalia. The male genitalia ( Figure 3P–R ) are similar to those of T. galera Wu et Liu from China and T. pseudogalera Park from Taiwan, but can be distinguished by the specialized, quadrate distal portion of cucullus with sharp sclerotized apical process.

Material examined

One ♂, Cambodia, Prov. Pursat (Osam), 2 May 2010 (Bae, Chae and Vi), gen. slide no. CIS-6065 / Park .

Distribution
