Dasypolia (Tatsipolia) ruficilia Benedek, Behounek, Floriani & Saldaitis, 2011: 108, fig. 2 (male genitalia), pl. 15: fig. 4 (adult) (Type locality: "China, W. Sichuan, Kangding, near Zheduo Pass, 3700-4200 m").

Type material examined.

Diagnosis.

The forewing length is 12 mm in the holotype male. The species externally differs from other members of the subgenus Dasypolia Tatsipolia in the monotonous pale brown forewing colouration and reddish-brown forewing cilia. The male genital capsule is characterised by the broad, trapezoid and weakly setose cucullus and the nearly straight digitus. The phallus of D. ruficilia is distally tapered whereas it is distally somewhat dilated in other species in the subgenus. The vesica of D. ruficilia bears two short lengthwise clusters consisting of four long and thin spine-like cornuti each, whereas the clusters of other Dasypolia (Tatsipolia) species consist of more robust cornuti.

The female is unknown.

Distribution.

The species is known only from its type locality in the western Sichuan Province of China ( Benedek et al. 2011).
