The genus Autosticha can be distinguished by the head (Figs 1a–c) with appressed scales and the scape of the antenna without pecten, and the yellow forewing with dark discal, discocellular, plical and tornal spots; in the male genitalia by the uncus clavate or conical in most species and the circular gnathos sometimes with a very short or indistinct mesial plate.</p> <p>Autosticha is similar to Apethistis Meyrick, 1908 and Punctulata Wang, 2006 in appearance. It can be distinguished from Apethistis by the uncus not bifurcate, whereas it is bifurcate distally in Apethistis. It can be distinguished from Punctulata by the presence of a gnathos, which is absent in Punctulata.</p> <p>Remarks. In the type species A. pelodes (Meyrick, 1883), R 4 and R 5 of the forewing are coincident, CuA 1 and CuA 2 stalked; Rs and M 1, M 3 and CuA 1 of the hindwing are stalked (Fig. 1d). In the present study, we observed R 4 and R 5 are also stalked, CuA 1 and CuA 2 are coincident in some species (Figs 1e–f).</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D5091F6D0AFFC8E4B07789FB95DA2F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Antenna yellow on ventral surface; scape dark brown, flagellum alternated with dark brown on dorsal surface. Labial palpus yellow; second palpomere with dense dark brown scales, third palpomere dark brown basally.</p> <p>Thorax and tegula pale yellow, tegula dark brown at base. Forewing ground color yellow, with scattered yellowish brown scales; costal margin dark brown along basal 1/4, orange yellow from basal 1/4 to before apex, with a large semicircular black spot from between middle and distal 1/4 extending to discocellular spot; discal, discocellular and plical spots black, discocellular spot largest; tornal spot dark brown, diffused; dorsum with a black spot near base; terminal dots dark brown, ranging along distal 1/5 of costal margin and termen; fringe yellow, mixed with dark brown. Hindwing and fringe brown. Fore- and midlegs yellow on ventral surface, dark brown on dorsal surface; hindleg with femur white on ventral surface, dark brown on dorsal surface, tibia and tarsus pale yellow, with dark brown scales on outer surface.</p> <p>Male genitalia (Fig. 40). Uncus clavate, wide at base, narrowly rounded at apex. Gnathos narrowly banded, circular; mesial plate indistinct. Tegumen semicircular posteriorly; lateral arm slender. Valva uniformly wide in basal 2/5, with a sub-rectangular ventral plate finely spinous along dorsal margin; distal 2/5 bifurcate: costal part narrower, arched, bilobed apically: dorsal lobe wide, obtuse apically, ventral lobe spine-shaped; ventral part wide at base, narrowed to pointed apex, as long as costal part. Sacculus narrow, concave at middle, with a setose papillary process apically. Saccus about 3/4 length of uncus, clubbed. Aedeagus about 1/2 length of valva, straight, tapered to rounded apex; cornuti consisting of a row of spines running from distal 3/5 to preapex, and a large spine at preapex and at apex respectively (Fig. 40a).</p> <p>Female genitalia (Fig. 41). Apophyses posteriores about twice length of apophyses anteriores. Eighth tergum straight on posterior margin, eighth sternum arched on posterior margin, concave in small V shape medially. Ductus bursae uniform posteriorly, widened toward corpus bursae anteriorly, sclerotized on ventral surface, membranous on dorsal surface; ductus seminalis arising from middle of ductus bursae. Corpus bursae ovoid, about same length as ductus bursae; two signa placed at poterior 1/3: one elongate triangular, spikelike, with dense spines, the other semicircular, with a heavily sclerotized, marginally toothed triangular process at each side.</p> <p>Distribution. China (Yunnan).</p> <p>Etymology. The specific epithet of the new species is derived from the Latin furcillatus, referring to the bifurcate apex of the costal part of the valva.</p></div> 	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D5091F6D1FFFDCE4B076A8FDF9DB7D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The new species can be distinguished from its congeners by the costal part with an apical spine straightly directed dorsad, the ventral part of the valva with two apical spines, and the aedeagus with a stout spineshaped process arising from the middle.</p> <p>Description. Adult (Fig. 16). Forewing length 5.6–6.0 mm.</p> <p>Head yellowish brown. Antenna yellow on ventral surface; scape dark brown, flagellum brown alternated with pale yellow on dorsal surface. Labial palpus yellow; second palpomere with brown scales on outer surface, brown at apex; third palpomere with sparse brown scales.</p> <p>Thorax and tegula brown. Forewing ground color yellow, with brown scales, with dark brown spot near base of both subcostal vein and dorsum; costal margin dark brown along basal 1/3; discal, discocellular, plical and tornal spots dark brown, discocellular spot largest; terminal dots dark brown, ranging from distal 1/6 of costal margin along termen to tornus; fringe yellow. Hindwing deep brown, except white in costal area under forewing; fringe brown. Fore- and midlegs brown, tarsi yellow at apex of each tarsomere; hindleg yellow, with brown scales on outer surface, yellow at apex of each tarsomere.</p> <p>Male genitalia (Fig. 42). Uncus clavate, wide at base, narrowed to rounded apex. Gnathos with mesial plate triangular, pointed at apex; basal arms banded, relatively wide. Tegumen rectangular and wider medially; lateral arm slender, slightly narrowed to pointed apex. Valva with basal half sub-rectangular, distal half slightly narrower, divided into two parts from distal 1/4: costal part weakly sclerotized, birdhead-shaped, with an apical spine directed straightly dorsad, forming a right ventroapical angle; ventral part heavily sclerotized, bent inward ventrally, produced to a spine-shaped process lateroapically; ventral plate being a narrow band extending from base to before middle of costal margin, arched to 1/4 width of valva from ventral margin. Saccus broad and short, rounded at apex. Juxta weakly sclerotized, sub-rectangular. Aedeagus slightly shorter than valva, thicker in basal half, thinner in distal half, with a stout spine-shaped process arising from middle; cornutus absent.</p> <p>Female unknown.</p> <p>Distribution. China (Guangxi, Hainan).</p> <p>Etymology. The specific epithet of the new species is derived from the Greek ornis, ornithis (bird) and rhynchos (snout), referring to the bird-beak-like shape of costal part of the valva in the male genitalia.</p></div> 	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D5091F6D1EFFDFE4B072F1FB76DD3D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
