Type locality: Timor; Evans 1949: 281 . The length of forewing is 25 mm (n = 1) in male. The yellow patch on the hindwing is remarkable and makes this species considerably different from the preceding taxa. FIGURE 8. Male genitalia of Ancistroides longicornis (A96). A. ring, lateral view; B. uncus and gnathos, posterior view; C. tegumen, dorsal view; D. gnathos, ventral view; E. uncus, dorsal view; F. left valva, inner side; G. left valva, dorsal view; H. aedeagus, lateral view; I. aedeagus, dorsal view; J. juxta. Male genitalia ( Fig. 8 ). In lateral view, uncus as long as tegumen, basal part hump-shaped, distal end pointed, lower branch finger-like; gnathos curved upwards; saccus about 1/2 the length of vinculum. In dorsal view, middle of basal uncus concave, a pair of distal branches widely U-shaped, tip of both branches pointed. In lateral view of valva, dorsal edge flat, ventral edge evenly curved, tip of distal branch rounded; harpe slant, distal half short fingershaped, blunt. In dorsal view, distal branch of valva trapezoidal, with its proximal inner angle sharply pointed. Aedeagus elongated S-shaped in lateral view, suprazonal sheath a little shorter than 1/2 the length of subzonal sheath. Juxta deeply bifid and U-shaped, basal edge concave. Distribution.
