( Figs. 5, 11, 16)

Ancylis repandana Kennel, 1901: 303 . TL: Russia (Amur).

Diagnosis. The species is easily distinguished from other members of the genus by the long forewing length (20–25 mm). It is superficially similar to A. geminana (Donovan) but differs in the presence of a deeply emarginated, longitudinal streak at the middle of the cell in the forewing. The female genitalia of A. repandana can be distinguished by the presence of two large, different­sized signa

Re­description. Adult: Wingspan 20–25 mm in both sexes. Forewing with costa arched towards apex; small strigulae developed along the costal margin, with thin white curved line from basal patch to apex, separating dark costal part of wing from light colored dorsal part; apex sharply protruded with small blackish apical spot. Hindwing light grayish brown.

Male genitalia ( Fig. 11): Uncus moderately long, bifid, with sharp apices. Socii broad, with numerous long hairs. Valva well sclerotized, costa rather straight; ventral margin with two projections, one at base and one near middle, apical potion of valva beyond medioventral projection extremely slender, nearly paralell­sided. Aedeagus thick, narrowed terminally, vesica with a bundle of about 100 cornuti.

Female genitalia ( Fig. 16): Papillae anales slipper­shaped, large. Apophyses anteriores thick, long, twice as long as apophyses posteriors; antrum cup­shaped, short. Ductus bursae relatively short, narrow; ductus seminalis originating near junction with corpus bursae. Corpus bursae rounded, large, with two large, different­sized signa.
