(Figs 20, 45, 53)
Stenoloba motuoensis Han & Lü, 2007, Tinea 20 (1): 6, figs 1, 2. (Holotype: male, China: Tibet, Motuo, NEFU, Harbin).
Material examined. 2 male, 2 female, China, Prov. Fujian, Mt. Wuyi, Guadun, 5.vii.2013, C. Zhang & X. F. Liu leg., slide male: HHL-6149-1, female HHL 6151; 1 male, Prov. Yunnan, Lancang, 19.iv.2013, H.L. Han & C. Zhang leg., slide HHL-6150-1; 1 male, Prov. Fujian, Mt. Wuyi, Tongmuguan, 4.vii.2013, C. Zhang & X. F. Liu leg., HHL-6449s, coll. NEFU.
Diagnosis. A little known species (Fig. 20), described from Tibet by single male, a member of S. viridescens species-group. Externally it can be recognized from related S. viridescens Kononenko & Ronkay and S. speideli Kononenko & Ronkay by grey-brownish with bright-green colouration of forewing; orbicular stigma sharply defined as distinct black spot; reniform stigma clearly visible, outlined by black line; postmedial line with clear white streak near tornal angle. The male genitalia of S. motuoensis (Fig. 45) are close to those S. viridescens and also to S. microchracea Pekarsky, described from Laos. It differs from both species by shorter and broader triangular tip of costa and having short diverticula missing in boths species; from S. microchracea differs also by missing of flat cornutus on vesica. The female genitalia (Fig. 53) close to S. viridescens, but differ by broader proximal part of ductus bursae, narrower appendix bursae and rounded shape of corpus bursae.
Distribution. South and Southwest China (Prov. Fujian, Prov. Yunnan, Aut. Reg. Xizang).
Notes. The female genitalia are described for the first time.

Stenoloba speideli Kononenko & Ronkay 2001, Insecta Koreana 18(2):110, fig. 19 (Holotype: male, North Vietnam, Tam Dao, 60km NW Hanoi, 1200m, ZFMK, Bonn).
References. Han, Behounek, Kononenko 2011:62, Figs 6, 14 (South China, Guandong Prov.).
Material examined. 2 males, China, Prov. Fujian, Mt. Wuyi, Tongmuguan, 4.vii.2013, C. Zhang & X. F. Liu leg., HHL-6447-1; 1male, Prov. Fujian, Mt. Wuyi, Guadun, 5.vii.2013, C. Zhang & X. F. Liu leg., slide male: HHL- 6145; 1 female, Prov. Fujian, Mt. Wuyi, Sangang, 8–9.vii.2013, C. Zhang & X. F. Liu leg., slide HHL-6148-2 [NEFU], coll. NEFU.
Diagnosis. Stenoloba speideli (Fig. 21) differs externally from other members of S. viridescens group by its more monotonous green brownish-grey colouration of the forewing with less expressed wing pattern; small, indistinct orbicular stigma, large reniform, encircled by blackish scales and by less expressed whitish tornal mark. In the male genitalia (illustrated by Kononenko & Ronkay 2001 and Han et al. 2011) the costal extension of is not bifurcate and not acute but rounded, bearing a single strong spine, the sacculus has a well-developed clavus, and the distal saccular extension is acute, curved inwards. The female genitalia of S. s peideli (Kononenko & Ronkay 2001; Fig. 54) can be characterized by the trapezoidal distal margin of antrum, the rounded-discoidal corpus bursae with expressed neck, and considerable smaller appendix bursae, positioned approximately on mid of ductus bursae; corpus bursae rounded.
Distribution. South and Southwest China (Prov. Fujian, Prov. Yunnan), North Vietnam.
