(Figs 1–10, 31–33)
Catonidia wuyishanana Wang & Huang in Wang et al. 1990: 121; Wang et al., 1993: 81.
Description. Body length (from apex of vertex to tip of forewing): 3 8.10–8.75 mm, forewing length: 6.90– 7.40 mm.
Coloration. General colour pale yellowish brown (Figs 31–33). Vertex, frons, clypeus and genae pale yellowish brown. Eyes fuscous to blackish brown, ocelli reddish brown. Antennae pale brown. Pronotum and mesonotum pale yellowish brown. Forewing pale yellow, semihyaline, with broad, brown to fuscous stripe from apical third of clavus to apical angle, anterior margin with a brown marking near apical third, areas of forewing with clear small brwon markings, veins pale brown, except that of vannal region brown. Hindwing pale yellowish brown, except apical angle brown, veins pale brown. Legs and abdomen yellowish brown.
Head and thorax. Head including eyes narrower than pronotum (0.60:1). Vertex wider than long in middle line (2.21:1). Frons longer in middle line than widest part (1.86:1), width at base narrower than width at apex (0.78:1). Pronotum longer in middle line than vertex (1.63:1); Mesonotum longer in middle line than pronotum (4.18:1), longer than pronotum and vertex together (2.56:1). Forewing longer than widest part (2.01:1). Spinal formula of hind leg 7–8–8.
Male genitalia. Anal segment longer than widest part about 1.75: 1 in dorsal view, apical margin slightly truncate (Fig. 5). Pygofer in profile dorsal margin distinctly shorter than ventral margin, posterior margin with dorsal two-fifths angulated caudad roundly (Fig. 6), in ventral view medioventral process broad, subrectangular, lateral margins subparallel, apical margin sinuate (Fig. 8). Genital style longer than width about 1.94:1, apical margin broadly rounded, a stout, twisted process rising from apical third of dorsal margin, inner side of base with a stout finger-like process, apex obtuse (Fig. 9). Phallobase tubular, in lateral view broad at base, dorsal lobe stout tooth-like, lateral lobes narrowing apically, acute at apex, both dorsal and lateral lobes forming a forcep-like, directed upward; ventral lobe slender, with basal part constricted into a short stalk, apex acute. Genital lamina sclerotized, as in Fig. 10. Phallobasal conjunctival processes in lateral view strongly constricted at median third, rounded at apex, each with an ear-like lobe near apex (Fig. 10).
Material examined. 3 3, Wuyishan National Natural Reserve, Fujian Province, China, 7 Aug. 1998, L.- M. Wang (IEGU).
Host plant. Peach (Prunus persica) (Wang et al. 1990).
Distribution. Southern China (Fujian Province) (Fig. 40).
Remarks. Wang and Huang (in Wang et al. 1990) described the species based on three female specimens from Wuyishan National Natural Reserve, Fujian Province, China. Three male specimens are described here as C. wuyishanana based on the same collection locality and the similar markings of the forewings.
