DIAGNOSIS
Eudarcia longiphalla
sp. nov.
is externally similar to
E
.
gwangneungensis
sp. nov.
, but it can be distinguished by termen margin of forewing without light yellow hairs. The male genitalia are similar to
E. prolongata
Xiao & Li, 2009
, but differ from male genitalia in the shorter elongated uncus, and fairly wide uncus and tegumen part. Furthermore, the male genitalia differ from
E. dentate
Gaedike, 2000
and
E. prolongata
. The gnathos is very short and fused with middle of uncus and tegumen part; phallus is relatively slender and long. In addition, this species can be identified readily based on female genitalia; antrum well developed; ductus bursae without spines and very long, relatively small, and very sclerotized.

ETYMOLOGY
The specific name is derived from the Latin word longi (meaning “long”) and the Greek word phallus, referring to the male genitalia characters.
