37. Oberthueria lunwan Zolotuhin & Wang, X., 2013 (FIGURES 21 H, 22D)
Oberthueria lunwan Zolotuhin & Wang, X., 2013, Zootaxa 3693 (4): 475. TL: “Yunlong county, Fengshuining Mts., 2460 m, 13 km north of Caojian town, 10–20.V.1999, 25˚46’N, 99˚06’E”.
Diagnosis. The sister species of O. formosibia, which it strongly resembles in general appearance. However, O. lunwan is more yellowish with a less contrasting wing pattern and, uniquely in the genus, almost symmetrical valvae.
Specimens examined. [YUNNAN] Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture: 1 male, Holotype, Yunlong county, Fengshuining Mts., 2460 m, 13 km north of Caojian town, 10–20.V.1999, 25˚46’N, 99˚06’E, Dr. R. Brechlin leg. (MWM); Paratypes: 1 male, same data as holotype (MWM); Tenchong County: 1 male, Gaoligong Mt, Tenchong, 3000 m, June 1999, Wang & Li leg. (MWM); 1 male, Lijiang/Zhongdian, 27˚29’ N, 99˚53’ E, 24–25.V.2012, 3200 m, Floriani leg. (A. Floriani collection, Milan, Italy).
Bionomics. The larval host is unknown.
Distribution. Mainland China (Yunnan), northeastern Myanmar.
Remarks. This is a high montane species known from altitudes of 1600–3200 m, and only collected in May and June (Zolotuhin & Wang, 2013). However, it probably has a second generation in August. Moths were collected in deep mountain valleys in strongly degraded and therefore sparse secondary forest.
