Prosciara pentadactyla Hippa & Vilkamaa, 1991

Hippa & Vilkamaa 1991: 132.

New material. 1 male, China, Sichuan, Wanglang, 2500 m, sweep-net, 24.VII.2006, Zhuan Lu [SM01165]; 1 male, the same data but 25.VII.2006 [SM01164], 1 male, China, Sichuan, Wolong, 2000 m, sweep-net, 21.VII.2006, Xiao-Ling Niu [SM01166].

Diagnosis. The species is distinguished by setose M and Cu1 on wings; five megasetae directed obliquely ventrad on the dorsal lobe on the gonostylus; and an indistinct intercoxal lobe with long setae on the hypopygium.

Distribution. China (Sichuan, Fig. 24), Burma (Kambaiti).

Remarks. This species was first recorded in Kambaiti, Burma (Hippa & Vilkamaa 1991) and is new to China (Sichuan province). The Chinese specimens examined show no distinct differences from the type specimen. However the tegmen has an apical break in the Chinese specimens, while it’s completed in the type specimen. Additionally, two specimens ([SM01165], [SM01166]) from Sichuan have a few of setae on Cu2, while all the other specimens including the type have a bare Cu2.
