Collection: Pensoft Publishers

Keywords: Lepidoptera · Topics: Lepidoptera: Biology and Taxonomy, Plant and animal studies, Plant Parasitism and Resistance

Only three species belonging to the genus Ectomyelois Heinrich, 1956 are recorded from China, of which two species, E. bipectinalis sp. n. and E. furvivena sp. n. are described as new. We discuss the status of Ectomyelois that has been treated as a junior synonym by previous authors; we treat it as a valid genus, revised status, based on characters of the venation and female genitalia. Photographs of the adults and illustrations of the genitalia are given, along with a key to the three known Chinese species.
