Eoophyla sinensis: Speidel, 1984, Neue ent. Nachr., 12: 37; Yoshiyasu, 1987, Microlep. Thai., 1: 172; Speidel & Mey, 1999a, Tijds. v. Ent., 142: 130; Li, You & Wang, 2003, Acta Zootaxonomica Sinica, 28(2): 300.
Diagnosis. The species is widely distributed in China. It can be distinguished from others by the forewing of male has its upper edge of cell diffused with fuscous long setae from base to 2/3 section and androconial hairs covered with apical 1/3 of the cell from the upper edge. In male genitalia, it is different by its strong specialized setae about 3/4 length of valva, first and second setae without obvious expanding, third seta with minute spines laterally and a knife-shaped apex. In female genitalia, it is different by its signa about 3/4 length of corpus bursae.
Male genitalia (Fig. 39). Uncus slender, with apex pointed; gnathos about 2/3 length of uncus, apex with several dorsal teeth; tegumen with sclerotized dorsal ridge X-shaped; valva densely with setae, nearly same width from base to apex, three strong specialized setae present at apex, about 3/4 length of valva, first and second setae without obvious expanding, third seta with minute spines laterally and a knife-shaped apex; vinculum broad; saccus round; juxta plate-like, apex bifid; aedeagus slender, vesica with many minute spines, ductus ejaculatorius arising from middle.
Female genitalia (Fig. 40). Anal papillae relativelyl broad, densely covered with setae; apophysis anterioris and posterioris near same length; antrum cylindric; collar sclerotized; ductus seminalis arising below collar; ductus bursae relatively short, about half length of corpus bursae, with many minute spines; corpus bursae membranous, with a pair of signa, consisting of many minute spines, about 3/4 length of corpus bursae.
