Aristochroa gratiosa Tchitcherine, 1898, 1♂, with two labels in Chinese and a third one "Qinhai province China" (BMNH, box No 682); Aristochroa sp., 2♀♀, (BMNH, box No 682). The last two specimens with label "E. Tibet: Pochoe . 12-16,000 ft. 18-20.vii.1936", and one of them with second label " Feroniapoecilma Andr. Type H. E. Andrewes det.". Remarks. The study of the Andrewes's type has proved that it belongs to the subtribe Trigonognathina Tschitscherine , 1898, which includes Aristochroa Tschitscherine , 1898, Myas Sturm, 1826 (incl. Trigonognatha Motschulsky, 1858), Steropanus Fairmaire, 1888, and Xenion Tschitscherine , 1902. The presence of the following set of characters: 1/ anterior margin of ligula with four or more setae; 2/ elytra with intervals 1, 3, 5, and 7 wider, more or less distinctly raised and differently colored than the other intervals; 3/ terminal segment of both the maxillary and labial palpi not enlarged, revealed that the only specimen of this taxon belongs to Aristochroa . The holotype of Aristochroa poecilma was found at Nyima La, a high-mountain passage in the Nyingchi Prefecture, the southeastern part of the Tibet Autonomous Region, China.
