Head, from above, cleft in front; genal processes short, obliquely truncate apically with small point near median body axis ( Fig. 5 ). Forewing ( Fig. 6 ) with relatively long Rs, distal portion of non-tracheate vein usually more than twice as long as basal portion; vein Cu1a relatively weakly curved; surface spinules present in the middle of cell c+sc, brown markings present at the apex of cell cu2, apical half of cell cu1, and near the posterior margins of cell m1 and cell m2. Paramere ( Figs. 7, 9, 11 ) with outer lobe on the middle of outer surface; apex of paramere twisted. Distal segment of aedeagus ( Fig. 10 ) with horn-shaped end tube of the ductus ejaculatorius at the apex. Female terminalia ( Fig. 8 ) massive with deeply sinuous circumanal ring; apex of subgenital plate short. Measurements. (5 Ƌ/ 5 ♀ ; in mm). Head width 0.88−0.95/ 0.92−1.00; vertex width 0.46−0.49/ 0.48−0.52; vertex length 0.18−0.23/ 0.21−0.23; genal process length 0.08−0.15/ 0.07−0.11; first antennal flagellomere length 0.13−0.14/ 0.13−0.15; antennal length 2.29−2.44/ 2.17−2.45; forewing length 4.97−5.32/ 5.27−6.03; forewing width 1.85−1.94/ 1.84−2.30; pterostigma length 0.56−0.64/ 0.54−0.82; vein Rs length 1.62−1.96/ 1.85−2.19; length of line connecting apices of vein Rs and vein Cu1a 1.81−1.91/ 1.74−2.29; length of line connecting base and apex of vein M1+2 1.94−2.13/ 2.08−2.47; length of line connecting apices of veins M1+2 and M3+4 0.92−1.02/ 0.95−1.20; length of line connecting apices of vein Cu1a and Cu1b 0.70−0.80/ 0.86−1.03; length of line connecting base and apex of vein Cu1b 0.12−0.24/ 0.18−0.24; metatibia length 1.00−1.10/ 0.98−1.13; male proctiger length 0.33−0.40; paramere length 0.26−0.30; length of distal segment of aedeagus 0.20−0.22; female proctiger length 0.76−0.87; circumanal ring length 0.30−0.39; female subgenital plate length 0.33−0.43. Fifth instar immature. Description by Li (2011) . Distribution. China ( Anhui , Beijing , Chongqing , Fuzhou, Guizhou , Jiangsu , Jiangxi , Hebei , Henan , Hubei , Hunan , Liaoning , Shaanxi , Shangdong (type-locality ‘Tsingtau’), Shanxi , Sichuan , Zhejiang ) ( Enderlein 1926 ; Li 2011 ); Japan (Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu) ( Miyatake 1981 ; Miyatake & Inoue 2016 ); South Korea ( Kwon & Huh 1998 ). Host plant. Firmiana simplex (L.) W. Wight ( Malvaceae ) ( Miyatake 1981 ; Kwon & Huh 1998 ; Li 2011 ). The immatures, particularly the older instars, secrete large amounts of flocculent wax and honeydew ( Figs. 3, 4 ).
