description: <i>Caloptilia celtidis</i> Kumata, 1982 (Figs 1C, 3C) <i>Caloptilia celtidis</i> Kumata, 1982: 76; de Prins &amp; de Prins, 2005: 87; Bai <i>et al</i>., 2009: 497. TL: Japan. TD: HUJ. Diagnosis. This species is closely related to <i>C. fidella</i> (Reutti, 1853), a Palearctic species also feeding on plant species of <i>Celtis</i>, but differs from the latter by the phallus with about 6−8 cornuti. In <i>C. fidella</i>, the phallus has about five cornuti and another series of some ten cornuti on the ductus ejaculatorius. Description. Adult. Wingspan 10.0 mm. Head brown, purple luster, face bright white. Maxillary palpus yellow, with a black spot on middle of outer side. Labial palpus yellow, with outer side of 2nd segment scattered with black scales, basal half of 3rd segment white and slightly yellowish brown, distal half black. Scape dark brown, flagellum yellowish brown, with black rings. Thorax and tegula dark brown and glossy. Fore and mid legs dark brown, tarsus white and end of each segment brown; mid femur and tibia thick with long scales; hind legs yellowish white, base of coxa and end of femur dark brown, end of tibia gray, outer side of each tarsal segment brown apically. Forewing dark brown with purple luster; a large triangular yellow spot occupying costal 1/4 to 4/5, extending to 3/4 width of wing, with 6–9 dark brown dots on costa; cilia on termen brown, with 3 dark brown lines, cilia on dorsum gray. Hindwing and cilia gray. Male genitalia. Tuba analis with a linear sclerotization with unclear boundary. Tegumen slightly inflated beyond middle, both sides densely setose. Valva slightly reniform, with distal part slightly enlarged, covered with long setae, apical margin densely covered with short setae. Vinculum + saccus V-shaped, narrow and long. Phallus shorter than valva, about 6−8 cornuti at base which narrowed and split at end, with micro spines inside. Two pairs of coremata present, with anterior pair longer than posterior. Material examined. Shandong: 1&amp;male;, Mt. Laoshan, Qingdao, 36.211°N, 120.593°E, 390 m, 2017.VI.29−VII.7, leaf mine and cocoon collected on <i>Celtis sinensis</i>, leg.
