Description.
Characters of head and thorax in male same as in
D. sinespina
. Forewing length 16 mm in male. Fore- and hind wings white, transverse lines grey. Forewing with costa pale brown. Subbasal line slightly bent inwards at middle and costa; antemedial line straight and only bent inwards near costa; postmedial line broad, almost straight; submarginal line double, the inner one slightly wavy and the outer one deeply wavy. Hind wing with antemedial line slightly convex at middle, bent outwards and merging into the elongate grey area along the anal margin; postmedial line broader, almost straight, slanting outwards and closing to meet submarginal line near anal angle, forming large pointed teeth on CuA2 and anal fold; submarginal line double, with the inner one nearly straight and only wavy near anal angle, the outer one wavy, the two lines gradually approximating towards anal margin. Anal margin less extended, with a quite short tail process, longer in the female, with a small black patch. Fringes pale brown. Forewing underside with costa deep brown in basal half.

Male genitalia
.
Uncus bifurcate over its whole length, both arms slender. Socii large, terminally semicircular, rough apically. Valva small, distal and posterior margin shallowly concave, posterior protrusion rounded. Saccus blunt and rounded. Juxta large, slightly sclerotized, indistinctly shaped. Aedeagus stout, terminal part narrow; cornutus an oblong spinose patch. Eighth tergite quadrate, posterior margin almost straight; eighth sternite shallowly concave, with two small lateral protrusions.
Female genitalia
.
Unknown.
Diagnosis.
The most distinctive character of
D. concava
lies in the male eighth sternite, which is different from all other congeners by the wide and shallow concavity, bearing two small lateral processes. The male genitalia are similar to those of
D. tenuiata
and
D. sinespina
, and can be differentiated by the following differences: the uncus is longer than in those two species; the distal and posterior margins of the valva are shallowly concave in
D. concava
, but the two margins are straight in
D. sinespina
.
Type material.
Holotype, ♂,
China: Yunnan
(IZCAS): Ailao Shan, 2600 m, 11.VIII.2011, leg. Kitching Ashton, slide no. Drep-1095, ARB00027811, ex. XTBG. Paratype: 1♂,
Yunnan
(IZCAS): Weixi, Tacheng, 2800 m, 13-14.VII.2014, leg. Li Xinxin, slide no. Drep-1091, M32975.
Distribution.
China (Yunnan).
Etymology.
The species is named after the Latin word
concavus
, which refers to the shallowly concave 8th male sternite.
