Figs 2, 3, 9, 10 Type material. Holotype: Male (Fig. 2), China, prov. Hainan, Wuzhi Shan, 1333 m, 03-10.Jan.2008, leg local collector; slide No.: 3502 Gyulai (coll. P. Gyulai, to be deposited in HNHM, Budapest). Paratype: Male (Fig. 3), same data as holotype; slide No.: 3209 Gyulai (coll. G. Ronkay, Budapest, Hungary). Diagnosis and description. Craniophora fujianensis hainanensis is endemic to the island of Hainan. It can be separated at first sight from similar Craniophora by its whitish-ochreous forewing ground colour, indistinct wing pattern, with a more double-angled inner edge of the medial fascia, the whitish fringe and the conspicuous clear white hindwing. Wingspan 35-38 mm. Male genitalia (Figs 9, 10): In the male genitalia, ssp. hainanensis has a somewhat shorter uncus, with the ventral costa evenly rounded, and a distally more dilated valvae compared to the nominate subspecies. More specimens are needed to evaluate if these differences represent individual or subspecific variation. The two thin medial spines of the vesica are not parallel, but V-shaped, arising from the same sclerotised plate; the tiny semiglobular, medial diverticulum is hardly visible because the surface is not sclerotised or spinulose; the longitudinal, wavy-ribbed, sclerotised area towards the end of the vesica is bifurcate anteriorly then confluent. Female . Unknown. Etymology. The name refers to the island of Hainan where this taxon occurs. Distribution. The subspecies is known only from the type-locality, China, Hainan Island.
