( Figs. 16 , 37 , 55 )

Anarsia didymopa Meyrick, 1916: 583 ; Meyrick, 1925: 153; Clarke, 1969: 242; Park & Ponomarenko, 1996: 40. Ananarsia didymopa ; Ponomarenko, 1997: 51, 2009: 340. TL: Bengal, India. The type in BMNH.

Diagnosis. The species is superficially similar to A. patulella Walker , with a similar costal patch and discal blotch on the forewing, but it can be distinguished by the left valva of male genitalia with a hook-shaped process basally.

Male genitalia ( Figs. 55 ): Uncus slightly curved, with acute apex. Tegumen narrow, as long as valva. Left valva with a hook-shaped process basally, shorter than 1/3 the length of valva; right valva strongly convex near 1/3 on costal margin. Phallus short, shorter than 1/2 the length of valva.

Material examined. VIETNAM: 1 ♂, Vinh Phuc Prov., Tam Dao Nat. Park, 750m, 30 vii 2006 (Park, Chae, & Cuong), gen. slide no. CIS-6422.

Distribution. Vietnam (Vinh Phuc Prov.), India, Thailand.

Remark. The species was described from Bengal, India, based on a single male. Park and Ponomarenko (1996) reported it from Thailand.
