( Figs 4 , 9 ) Holotype : Male ( Fig. 4 ), China , Tai Bai Shan, Shaanxi prov, 1300–1500 m , N33°35’ , E107°43’ , 20.viii.–4 ix. 1998 , Murzin & Siniaev leg., slide No. PGY 4588m (coll. PGM ). Diagnosis. Gracilisinensis moha can be separated from its southern twin species ( Figs 1–3 ) by its smaller size (wingspan 27 mm ), more unicolorous forewing, with darker marginal field and more prominent orbicular and reniform stigmata, almost straight postmedial line, less conspicuous blackish patch in termen, absence of white colouration in the basal section of subterminal line and the finer bipectinated antennae of the males. The male genitalia ( Fig. 9 ) are easily separable from those of G. vaiva sp. nov. ( Figs 7, 8 ) by the basally significantly broader, however distally conspicuously slenderer valvae with strictly concave dorsal costa, the smaller juxta and the smaller carinal plate of the aedeagus. The female is unknown. Description. G. moha have almost unicolorous forewing, dark marginal field, prominent orbicular and reniform stigmata, almost straight postmedial line, faint blackish patch in termen and absence of white colouration in the lower section of subterminal line. Note : The single known specimen is worn, and the originally supposedly green(ish) colours of the forewing are faded into the present yellowish-ochre colour. Male genitalia . Basally broad, however distally conspicuously slender valvae with strictly concave dorsal costa. Distribution. Known only from Shaanxi , China . Etymology . The name of the new species, “ moha ” , means “moss” in Hungarian, referring the moss-like colouration.
