Lophoptera quadrinotata Chen, 1982b , in Zhu et al. , Iconographia Heterocerorum Sinicorum , III: 338, pl. 98: 2426. ( nec Walker, 1863) Diagnosis. This species resembles L. paranthyala ( Holland , 1900) , described from Indonesia , but differs by the grey bordering band of the antemedial and postmedial lines (those in L. paranthyala are brown). The male genitalia of this species are quite similar to those of L. hamata sp. nov. In L. anthyalus the valva with thin base and rounded apex; the basal process of the costa is longer than half length of the valva; in L. hamata the valva with slightly expanded base and pointed and hook-like apex, the basal process of the costa is nearly half length of the valva. In addition, the subterminal process of the uncus is much larger than in L. hamata , dish-like; the valva is distinctly broader in L. anthyalus . Material examined.

China (Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hunan, Hainan, Hong Kong , Guangxi, Yunnan), Japan , India , Indonesia , Malaysia , Singapore . Remarks. This species was recorded by Chen (1982b) as L. quadrinotata (Walker, 1863) . We reidentified the specimens and regarded the L. quadrinotata recorded by Chen as a misidentification of L. anthyalus Hampson, 1894 , so L. quadrinotata is not found in China and the distribution records should be omitted.
