Synonymy
.
Diachrysia bieti
sensu auctorum, nec Oberthür, 1884 (Ronkay
et al.
2008).
Diagnosis
. The species is rather remote within the entire
chryson
-lineage (Ronkay
et al
. 2008). It can be distinguished easily from the other members of the
D. leonina-D.
bieti
lineage by its dark grey-brown ground colour with fine golden-bronze sheen, well-defined antemedial, medial, postmedial and subterminal crosslines and the uniformly darkened hindwing. The distinctive features of the male genitalia, in comparison with
D. leonina
,
D. oberthueri
, and
D. bieti
, are the longer, stronger uncus, the more rounded, medially broadest valvae, the much shorter vinculum, the reduced terminal cornutus; those of the female genitalia are the more or less straight ductus bursae and the rather short, elliptical-ovoid corpus bursae.
Distribution
. A Sino-Pacific species, occuring in the temperate parts of the Pacific region (Russian Far East: Primorye,
Korea
,
Japan
, north-east
China
) and in the Central Chinese mountains in Shaanxi (Ronkay
et al
. 2008).
