Mustilizans drepaniformis

Mustilizans drepaniformis
Yang, 1995
,
Insects of Baishanzu Mountain, Eastern
China
: 356. TL: “
China
, Prov. Zhejiang, Mt. Baishanzu
1600 m
”.
Diagnosis.
This species was characterized in the original description by a forewing with a hook-shaped apex, concave outer margin edged with ocher, and a discal cell with a small black spot.
Specimens examined.

, Min Lin leg. (ZAU) (Notes: The
type
specimens are lost (Zolotuhin, 2007), and the data given here are those provided in the original description).
Bionomics.
The larval host is unknown.
Distribution.
Mainland
China
(Zhejiang).
Remarks.
The
type
specimens have been lost (Zolotuhin, 2007) and no more specimens have been collected. According to the original description and other
Mustilizans
specimens captured since in the
type
locality, we consider that the
type
specimens of
drepaniformis
are probably just variations of
M. hepatica
. However, more information is needed to confirm this suggestion, and so we here continue to treat
drepaniformis
as a valid species.

Bionomics.

Distribution.
Mainland
China
(Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hubei, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Yunnan) and Hainan,
Vietnam
,
Malaysia
,
Indonesia
,
Thailand
. The Chinese population is attributed to ssp.
refugialis
by Zolotuhin, (2007) and we used the species name
dierli
to treat with the subspecies name
refugialis
here.
Remarks.
This species is widely distributed in Southeast Asia and
China
. Yang (1995b) described a new species
baishanzua
based on specimens collected from Baishanzu Mountain. Here, we consider that the species
baishanzua
as a new synonymy of the species
dierli
based on the comparing detailly with the original description by Yang (1995b).
