Figs 1G-I , 2B , 3C Type materials. Holotype : China • ♂; Yunnan, Mang City, Mt Banggunjian; 24.39°N , 97.84°E ; 1758 m elev.; 14 Aug. 2022; S Yu & KJ Teng leg.; slide no. YUS062, LCU. Paratype : 1♂; same data as holotype; slide no. YUS075, LCU. Diagnosis. The new species is similar to W. angoonae , but it can be distinguished by the capitate cucullus and the aedeagus with a needle-like apical extension. In W. angoonae , the cucullus is acuminate and the aedeagus lacks an extension on the apex. Description. Wingspan 14.0-15.0 mm (Figs 1G , 2B ). Head yellowish brown. Antenna yellow; scape ventrodistally with a small imperceptible pectin-like scale tuft. Labial palpus with dense, long, hair-like scales dorsally; third palpomere shorter than second palpomere. Forewing slightly widened distally, with costal margin almost straight, apex produced, termen gently concave; ground color yellowish brown; orange-yellow along costal margin from about basal 2/5 to apex; discal stigma black, rounded; plical stigma black, nearly same size as discal stigma; discocellular stigma black, elliptical; fringe greyish brown, with an orange-white basal line; R3, R4, and R5 stalked, R5 to termen, CuA1 and CuA2 with short stalk. Hindwing and fringe yellow, dark brown scales along vein M2; M3 and CuA1 shortly stalked. Male genitalia (Fig. 3C ). Uncus nearly inverted trapezoidal; caudal lobes semi-ovate. Gnathos with basal plate roundly produced on posterior margin; median process narrowed slightly from base to basal 2/3, thereafter sharply narrowed to a pointed apex, curved ventrad at basal 2/3 by a right angle. Costal bar narrow, arched taenioid. Valva with basal part trapezoidal; cucullus capitate, arising from upper corner of basal part of valva, sinuate, narrow basally, widened to about basal 2/3, thereafter narrowed slightly to rounded apex, costal margin arched in basal 1/2 and straight in distal 1/2; sacculus wide, straight on its ventral margin, with a long, apical process extending posteriorly as far as apex of cucullus. Juxta elliptical, wider than long, with a thumbed process at middle on anterior margin. Vinculum subrounded on anterior margin. Aedeagus slightly shorter than valva, wide at base, narrowed to apex, with a needle-like apical extension; cornuti consisting of two needle-like spines of different sizes and a flake-like plate bearing three spinules. Female. Unknown. Distribution. China (Yunnan). Etymology. The specific epithet is derived from the Latin simile (likeness) and Woonpaikia angoonae , referring to the similarity between this new species and W. angoonae .
