Diagnosis. The antemedial line of the forewing is protruded outwards centrally, basal field is dark-brown; the postmedial line arises from apex obliquely to the lower angle of cell, then dentate to the tornus. In the male genitalia, the uncus is triangular and wide; the valva is simple, its terminal part is thin and pointed, not bifid; the costa has a small digitiform process at middle; the juxta is large and oblong.

Distribution. China (Hainan, Hong Kong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Tibet), India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Congo.

Remarks. This species has been reported by Chen (1999) as Lophoptera aleuca Hampson, 1912 . In present study, we re-identified the material and stated that Lophoptera aleuca recorded by Chen (1999) is a misidentification of Odontodes aleuca Guenée, 1852 , the real Lophoptera aleuca has not found in China yet.

Biological notes. The larval host plants were recorded as Shorea robusta (Dipterocarpaceae) ( Holloway 1985).
