Patoptoformis rimsaitae Saldaitis & Yakovlev
sp. n.
Figs 11-14
Type material.
Holotype: male China, Sichuan prov. [province], Env. [environs] Mianning Ling Shan Mts. [mountains], h[high], -3760 m 01-03. 07. 2010, local collector leg. (slide No.JB1620), (deposited in ZSSM/MWM).
Diagnosis.
Externallythe new speciesis most similar to sibling species
Patoptoformis ganesha
(Yakovlev, 2004) and
Patoptoformis hanuman
Yakovlev, 2006. Unlike the new species,
Patoptoformis ganesha
has dark forewings generally with a row of narrow transversal bands in medial and submarginal zones and black hindwings with a black fringe (Fig. 15). Male genitalia in
Patoptoformis ganesha
differ as its uncus is triangular, broad gnathos is densely set with spinules, valvae are cut near apex, arms of transtilla are hook-like and saccus is rounded (Fig. 16). In
Patoptoformis hanuman
the forewings are brown with a faint black streaky pattern with a clear submarginal streak and spot in the distal area and hindwings are dark brown, almost black (Figs 17, 19). Male genitalia differ in shape of
the
valvae which are narrower, the gnathos arms which are thicker and aedeagus which is somewhat curved in the middle (Fig. 18).

Description.
Male (Fig. 11): Forewing length of holotype 11 mm; wingspan 24 mm. Antennae almost half as long as forewing, strongly bipectinate and last third with very short triangular pecten; ground color of forewings grey blackish with large yellow patch in middle of basal area, middle part of wing from base to inner edge yellow brown, cilia yellow mixed with brown scales; hindwing unicolor yellow, cilia greyish brown; upper side of forewing dark brown, anal edge grey; upper side of hindwing dark brown, costal area black brown; head, thorax blackish brown.
Male genitalia
(Figs 12, 13): Uncus wide with blunt tip; gnathos wide but arms narrow; valvae short, very wide at base narrowing to middle then widening abruptly at tip; arms of transtilla hook-like, thin, acute in tip; saccus wide, rounded; aedeagus almost the same length as valva, weakly curved with sharp curved tip; vesica like equilateral sack with opening size more than half of aedeagus length.
Female

Unknown.
Bionomics and distribution.
Known only from the
China's
Sichuan province on the eastern edge of the Tibetan plateau.
Patoptoformis rimsaitae
is likely endemic to West Sichuan. A single male was attracted to light at an altitude of 3700 m. The new species was collected in the shrubby transition between the mountain primary mixed forest and the alpine grassland zones (Fig. 14). Nothing is known about the early stages.
Etymology.
The species is named in honor of Dr Jolanta Rimsaite, a prominent expert of general entomology.
