It is close to S . liuii Chen , S . pulla Ronkay , and S . ronkayi Behounek & Kononenko , but differs from all by smaller size, wing pattern and structure of male genitalia: namely narrower valva, absence of subscaphium and shape of aedeagus and vesica. It is most close to S . ronkayi , from which differs by less sharp wing pattern with diffused transversal lines. In male genitalia it differs from S . ronkayi by stronger uncus, somewhat narrower valva slightly constricted distally (in S . ronkayi valva broader, with parallel margins, slightly extended distally); aedeagus longer, without coecum (very short in S . ronkayi , with small distinct coecum); distal diverticulum smaller and narrower, flat spine-like cornutus about two time larger than in S . ronkayi . Description. Adult ( Fig. 1 ). Wingspan 23–24 mm . Head and thorax ochreous-green, with whitish scales; ground colour of forewing greyish with ochreous-green tint, wing pattern unsharp, diffused; basal field dark, ochregreen, subbasal fields prominently whitish with ochre-green; submedial and part of medial fields grey, separated by indistinct greenish line; outer part of medial field pale greyish-green with pale yellowish suffusion in costal area; orbicular indistinct; reniform encircled with black, with black center and whitish medial line; postmedial line double, formed with two thin blackish lines; subterminal field greyish, with indistinct grey marks and prominent blackish subapical mark in costal area; terminal field pale greyish with greenish and prominent apical mark; terminal line interrupted, as a row of small blackish streaks; cilia uniformly greyish. Hindwing greyish, darker to terminal margin; discal spot hardly traceable; cilia pale grey. Male genitalia ( Fig. 31 ). Uncus developed, relatively long and strong; tegumen and vinculum thin, tegumen two times higher than vinculum; transtilla with large and broad sclerotised bands; juxta more or less leave-shaped; valva rather long, broad basally, with almost parallel margins, from basal part to apex smoothly constricted distally, rounded apically; valva apex armed with strong fixed setae. Aedeagus rather short and wide, caulis not expressed, with plate like carina; vesica broadly-tubular, projecting ventrally, with small diverticulum and very large flat wide cornutus on plate base. Female unknown. Distribution. Southwest China . The species is known only from its type-locality in Prov. Yunnan and Autonomic Region Xizang , where it occurs in mountains at elevation 1200–1500 m . Moths were collected in July. Etymology. The species name refers to Gaoligong Mts., the type-locality of the new species.
