Diagnosis This new species is superficially similar to Indonesian Promalactis balikpapana Lvovsky, 2000a , but can be easily distinguished by the elongate valva of the male genitalia being deeply concave at two-thirds of costa, upturned apical process and funnel-like saccus. It is also similar to Promalactis ellipsoidea Wang, Du & Li, 2013 , which was described from Brunei , in the fore wing pattern, but can be recognized by the tips of uncus lateral lobes without swelling.

Figure 3. (continued). Fore wing ground colour brownish yellow; a white band and two patches edged with fuscous scales: subbasal band oblique toward wing base, traversed from wing base to posterior margin just near wing base; posterior patch semi-circular at one-third, reaching halfway across wing; costal patch at two-thirds, semi-circular, reaching more than halfway across wing, proceeded by fuscous suffusion; dark fuscous suffusion in apical part; fringes greyish brown mixed with fuscous scales from the half of posterior margin to tornus, tinged with brownish yellow around apex. Hind wing ground colour pale greyish brown; fringes pale greyish brown, gradually darker toward apex. Leg. Hind leg pale greyish brown dorsally, except white at basal fourth, third and second segments of tarsus. Male genitalia ( Figure 4b, 4 ba–c). Uncus heavily sclerotized bearing lateral lobes, twofork-shaped; each tip of lateral lobes equal thickness, not partly swelled. Gnathos absent. Tegumen simple. Valva elongate with upturned apex, 1.5 times longer than uncus plus tegumen; costal margin of valva slightly concave basally, convex at one-third and then deeply concave two-thirds of costa, densely setose after two-thirds to apex; saccus funnel-shaped, slightly longer than uncus. Aedeagus simple, as long as valva, without cornutus. Female unknown. Holotype Male. Indonesia , Sumatra U., 7 km , southeast Parapat , 1400 m , 30 August 1992 , J.B. Heppner & E.W.

Distribution Indonesia ( Sumatra : North). Etymology The specific name is derived from the Latin diazomatis (= semi-circular), referring to the two semi-circular white markings in the wing pattern.
