Diagnosis. Adult
(
Fig. 7
). Wingspan 37–38 mm. Externally
A. sinica
is close to
A. owadai
and
A. taiwani
, but differs from its congeners by more developed green elements of wing pattern and presence of reddish-brown suffusion along subterminal line.
Male genitalia
(
Fig. 7
). In male genitalia it differs from related
A. owadai
by narrower valva, more rounded cucullus, thinner and longer harpe, shorter main diverticulum with more massive stick-like double-lobed cornutus and thinner dorsal cornutus armed with single three small joined cornuti and four joined cornuti in the base. The female of
A. sinica
described by Kononenko (2001) from North Vietnam by opinion Gyulai
et al.
(2013) belongs to
A. owadai
, however the sex matching of this species should be revised, because
A. sinica
and
A. owadai
occur sympatrically in the Guangdong Province of China.
Distribution.
China (Prov. Guangdong).
Note.
The species was probably misidentified by Draudt (1950) as
"
Trachea atrovirens
"
and also misidentified and illustrated by Chen (1982) as
"
Trachea prasinatra
".
