            <p> Psoricoptera Stainton, 1854</p>
            <p> Psoricoptera Stainton, 1854: 100 . Type species:  Gelechia (Chelaria) gibbosella Zeller, 1839 , by monotypy. </p>
            <p> Phoricoptera Stainton, 1854: 76 , misspelling. </p>
            <p>Generic Characters. Head smoothly scaled. Ocellus absent. Labial palpus long, upturned beyond vertex; second segment thickened with rough scales on ventral surface, forming a brush-like tuft; third segment about same length of second, with a loose scale tuft dorsally (Fig. 3). Antenna filiform, without pecten, male with ciliae on flagellum in some species. Forewing lanceolate, apex acute; ground colour usually blackish brown or dark grey, costal spots or patch usually black; generally with several erect scale tufts on cell and fold. Hindwing a little wider than forewing, trapezoidal, apex blunt acute, termen slightly concave beneath apex (Figs 2, 5). Legs usually with 2–3 rounds of tufts on fore and mid tibiae (Fig. 4), hind tibia densely covered with yellowish white hairs.</p>
            <p>Venation (Fig. 5). Forewing with cell longer than half length of wing, R 1 from middle of cell, R 3 from near anterior angle of cell, R 4 and R 5 stalked, R 5 to costa, M 2 almost parallel with M 1, M 3 and CuA 1 nearly connate, 1A+2A biforked basally. Hindwing with cell nearly half length of wing, Rs and M 1 connate at anterior angle of cell, M 3 and CuA 1 connate at posterior angle of cell.</p>
            <p>Male genitalia (Figs 6–13). Eighth tergite tongue-shaped, with a pair of long corematae; eighth sternite shorter than eighth tergite, broad, fan-shaped, posterior margin broadened to rounded (Fig. 13). Uncus strongly developed, posterior margin usually with several incisions or emarginations of same or different depths, forming several branches of same or different lengths (Fig. 6); basal part with a pair of symmetric affiliated plates convex into different shapes (Figs 9–12). Tegumen nearly trapezoidal, anterior margin deeply concave to triangle, forming a distinct groove. Gnathos with lateral sclerites wedge-shaped or triangular, middle process well developed, normally hook-shaped, dilated at base in some species. Valva extending beyond tip of uncus, flagelliform and arched. Sacculus short, narrow, apex pointed or beak-like. Juxta usually as a pair of wedge-shaped sclerites. Saccus rectangular or subtriangular (Fig. 6, 36b). Phallus often stout, slightly arched, narrowed from base to backward-curved and strongly sclerotized apex, usually with numerous microthorns on distal half of dorsal surface (Figs 6–7).</p>
            <p> Female genitalia (Figs 14–16). Papillae anales sub-rectangular, setose. Apophyses posteriores extremely long. Subgenital plate strongly sclerotized, consisting of two sclerites, outer one sub-semicircular or sub-triangular, usually with an emargination distomedially; inner sclerite with a longitudinal broad crack posteromedially, posteriorly fused with apophyses anteriores and forming two various-shaped sclerites which bearing one or several folds; sometimes subgenital plate crown-shaped, with a highly microtrichiate membrane (Figs 14–15). Apophyses anteriores short, rod-shaped. Antrum usually pentagonal. Ductus bursae broad and short, posteriorly with a sclerotized plate near antrum. Corpus bursae oval or rounded; signum cross-shaped, sub-hexagonal or sub-elliptical, with serrate edges and a horizontal axis, surface with dense denticles. Abdominal segment VII of  Psoricoptera curva sp. nov. with tufts of modified scales on both sides (Fig. 16). </p>
            <p> Diagnosis.  Psoricoptera can be easily recognized by the uncus shovel-shaped, usually with a pair of middle and lateral branches in the male genitalia; in the female genitalia, the species of  Psoricoptera can be recognized by the strongly sclerotized subgenital plate with the various-shaped sclerites at base of apophyses anteriores. The raised scales on upper surface of third segment of labial palpus is an additional diagnostic character for separating species of  Psoricoptera from other genera of  Gelechiini . </p>
            <p> Biology. Six plant families (  Fagaceae ,  Salicaceae ,  Juglandaceae ,  Anacardiaceae ,  Rosaceae ,  Betulaceae ) have been recorded as host plants of  Psoricoptera species. Kaitila (1996) recorded the larva of  P. speciosella feeds on  Salix sp. in late June and early July in Europe; Arahou et al. (1991) reported larva of  P. gibbosella lives in buds of  Quercus ilex in Morocco;  P. gibbosella has been reared from  Quercus mongolica and  Salix rorida Lacksch. in the Russian Far East (Omelko 1999), and  Rhus chinensis is reported as the host plant of  P. kawabei (Park &amp; Karsholt 1999) . In China,  Juglans mandschurica ,  Quercus sp. and  Salix sp. were reported as host plants of  Psoricoptera species (Liu &amp; Bai 1979), host plants of  P. gibbosella have been recorded as  Juglans mandshurica Maxim. ,  Quercus robur L.,  Salix caprea L.,  Malus pumila Mill. Crataegus sp. ,  Padus sp. Eriophyes sp. and  Carpinus sp. (Li 2002) , but Piskunov (1981) once thought records of larvae from  Crataegus ,  Malus and galls of  Eriophyes mites need confirmation. However, due to the inaccuracy of the previous identification of  Psoricoptera species , the records of the above-mentioned host plants are doubtful. </p>
            <p> Distribution. The genus  Psoricoptera is predominantly recorded from the Palaearctic Region prior to this study (Park &amp; Karsholt 1999; Li 2002). In this paper, we also find several Oriental species of  Psoricoptera , which mainly are distributed in southwest China. </p>

            </p>
            <p>Description. Adult (Fig. 17) wingspan 14.5–17.0 mm. Head shining blackish grey, sometimes light yellow medially. Labial palpus blackish brown except inner surface of second segment white; third segment with tuft of yellowish brown scales tipped with white, apex reddish orange. Antenna black. Thorax and tegula shining black. Forewing ground colour dark yellowish brown, scales tipped with blackish brown; costal spots at basal 2/5 and 3/5 respectively; four blackish brown tufts at distal 1/3 and apex of cell, basal 1/3 and 2/3 of fold respectively; basal 1/5 of dorsum black; fringe dark grey, intermixed with scales tipped with white or yellowish brown. Hindwing silver grey, darker toward apex; fringe grey. Female individual with forewing almost entirely blackish brown except distal 1/4 of costa tinged with a few yellowish brown scales. Fore and mid legs blackish brown; tibiae with tufts blackish brown mixed with yellowish brown, scales tipped with white; tarsi with first, second and fifth tarsomeres ringed with reddish brown apically; outer surface of hindleg blackish brown and white on inner surface, all tarsomeres ringed with yellowish white apically.</p>
            <p>Male genitalia (Figs 9, 31). Uncus single branch, basal 4/5 conic, distal 1/5 clavate, apex narrowly rounded; affiliated plates about half length of uncus, rodlike but excurved to S-shape. Gnathos with middle process strongly sclerotized, hook-like. Valva broad flagelliform, inner margin slightly convex from basal 1/6 to 1/3, distal 1/6 gently dilated to drop-shaped, then sharply narrowed to pointed and setose apex. Sacculus about 1/7 length of valva, beaklike, setose. Juxta double wave-shaped, innerside with a pair of leaf-shaped sclerites. Saccus less than half length of valva, rectangular, stout. Phallus accordance with the typical shape of this genus, dorsally without microthorns but with a small denticle apically.</p>
            <p>Female genitalia (Figs 14–16). Abdomen VII with two black tufts of modified scales laterally. Apophyses posteriores about 6× length of subgenital plate. Subgenital plate crown-shaped, posteriorly connected with a highly microtrichiate membrane. Apophyses anteriores extending to end of subgenital plate and about 2× length of it, with a pair of hemispherical plates posteriorly. Antrum with rugby-shape rough area anteromedially. Ductus bursae without sclerite. Corpus bursae about same length of ductus bursae, oval; signum broadly cross-shaped.</p>
            <p> Diagnosis.  Psoricoptera curva sp. nov. can be recognized by the third segment of labial palpus with apex reddish orange externally; and by the uncus with affiliated plates excurved to S-shape, the valva with distal 1/6 gently dilated to drop-shape in the male genitalia; and can be further separated from its allies by the abdomen VII with a pair of black tufts of modified scales in female, and the apophyses anteriores with a pair of hemispherical plates posteriorly. </p>
            <p>Distribution. China (Yunnan).</p>
            <p>Etymology. The specific name is derived from the Latin curvus, meaning curve, referring to the shape of affiliated plates of uncus.</p>

            </p>
            <p> Diagnosis. Adult (Figs 19–20) wingspan 15.5–16.0 mm. This species is similar to  P. speciosella both in adult and male genitalia, it can be distinguished from latter by the uncus with four branches about same height, middle incision normally not deeper than lateral incisions (Figs 32–34). In  P. speciosella , the uncus with middle branches higher than lateral branches and middle incision deeper than lateral incisions (Figs 39–39d). </p>
            <p>Variation. Uncus with middle incision variable, usually same depth with lateral incisions but can be deeper in some individual (Figs 32–34).</p>
            <p>Distribution. China (Shanxi, Xinjiang), Japan, Korea, Russia, Europe, Asia Minor, North Africa (Park &amp; Karsholt 1999).</p>
            <p> Remarks. Huemer &amp; Karsholt (1999) and Park &amp; Karsholt (1999) mainly used incisions on posterior margin of uncus and number of microspines (which we called microthorns in the present study) on phallus to distinguish  P. gibbosella and  P. speciosella in male genitalia: they considered uncus of  P. gibbosella with middle incision not deeper than lateral incisions, phallus with more than 20 microspines; while the uncus of  P. speciosella with middle incision deeper than lateral incisions, phallus with less than 16 microspines. Kaitila (1996) considered biology and colour of larvae as other effective evidence in identification of the two species. In this study, many more specimens have been checked and dissected. As expected, more morphological variations on genitalia are observed, but the microthorns on phallus and vinculum seemingly are unstable, therefore we don't think the two characters can hold as diagnostic features for  Psoricoptera species. We have not been able to collect or rear immature stages of the  Psoricoptera species , the larvae can be associated with adults taking advantage of molecular techniques in the subsequent study. </p>

            </p>
            <p>Description. Adult (Figs 2–3, 5, 18) wingspan 16.0–24.0 mm.</p>
            <p>Female genitalia (Figs 40–43). Apophyses posteriores about 6× length of subgenital plate. Subgenital plate moderately long, nearly triangular, extending posteriorly beyond base of apophyses anteriores, weakly emarginated distomedially. Apophyses anteriores about 5/6 length of subgenital plate, with a pair of wedge-shaped sclerites posteriorly. Ductus bursae with a weakly sclerotized plate accompanied by a triangular sclerite at distal 2/3. Corpus bursae oval; signum small, about 1/3 width of corpus bursae, rhomboidal, surface with dense denticles.</p>
            <p>Diagnosis. This species is unique in having the uncus with middle emargination extremely shallow; the gnathos with middle process short, not reaching anterior margin of tegumen, not hook-shaped but sub-triangular or only with an extremely short hook; the sacculus rather long and narrow, about 1/4 length of valva (Figs 6, 35– 35g). It can be further distinguished from its allies by the triangular subgenital plate in the female genitalia (Figs 40–43). In addition, this species with phallus bearing more microthorns (mostly more than thirty) than other species on average.</p>
            <p>Variation. The shapes of uncus in different specimens can be variable within a small range, the details are illustrated in the figures 35– 35g.</p>
            <p> Host plants.  Fagaceae :  Quercus sp. ;  Juglandaceae :  Juglans mandshurica Maxim. ;  Salicaceae :  Salix sp. (Liu &amp; Bai 1979). </p>
            <p>Distribution. China (Beijing, Hebei, Henan, Heilongjiang, Liaoning, Shanxi, Tianjin), Korea (Park &amp; Karsholt 1999), Japan [?] (Park 2004; Park &amp; Ponomarenko 2007; Park 2012).</p>
            <p> Remarks. A few of specimens with phallus with less than twenty microthorns on distal half, which is in contrast with other specimens, we refrain from considering the number of microthorns as a diagnostic character. In addition, Park &amp; Karsholt (1999) pointed out that “the male genitalia figured by Liu &amp; Pai (1979: Fig. 12) under the name of  gibbosella obviously belong to  latignathosa ”, we agree with Park &amp; Karsholt (1999), but another figure (Fig. 13) of male genitalia in Liu &amp; Pai (1979) is distinctly belong to  P. gibbosella, Liu &amp; Pai (1979) also provided an illegible figure (Fig. 23) which was hand-painted of the female genitalia under the name  P. gibbosella , we can’t confirm the female genitalia provided by Liu &amp; Pai (1979) was actually belong to  P. gibbosella or  P. latignathosa, Park &amp; Karsholt (1999) also indicated that the female of  P. latignathosa was “unknown”, here we have given detailed description and diagnosis of the female genitalia under the name  P. latignathosa . </p>
            <p> As for the distribution of  P. latignathosa, Park (2004) , Park &amp; Ponomarenko (2007) and Park (2012) mentioned that Japan is one of distribution localities. But the specimen mentioned in these literatures was the same one, the holotype of  P. latignathosa . At present, there is no information about Japanese specimens. Therefore, the distribution of  P. latignathosa in Japan is doubtful. </p>

            <p>Description. Adult (Figs 21–22) wingspan 8.0–13.0 mm. Head light yellow to light grey, laterally edged with dark yellow scales tipped with yellowish brown. Labial palpus alternately blackish brown and yellowish brown except inner surface of second segment yellowish white; tuft above third segment yellowish brown, scales tipped with white. Antenna blackish brown, serrate and ciliate in male. Thorax and tegula covered with dark yellow scales tipped with blackish brown except basal half of tegula blackish brown. Forewing ground colour blackish brown suffused with yellowish brown and reddish brown scales evenly; basal fascia occupying about 1/4 length of wing, black; cell with a yellowish brown tuft at posterior angel; fold with two indistinct yellowish brown tufts sometimes; fringe grey intermixed with black scales tipped with white. Hindwing shining light grey, darker toward distal half of costa, termen and dorsum; fringe light grey. Legs blackish brown on fore and mid legs and outer surface of hindleg except fore coxa yellowish white, yellowish white on inner surface of hindleg; fore and mid legs with tibiae with three rounds of brick-red tufts respectively, scales tipped with white, tarsi with first, second and fifth tarsomeres ringed with brick-red apically; hindleg with all tarsomeres ringed with yellowish white apically.</p>
            <p>Male genitalia (Figs 11, 36–36b). Uncus nearly rectangle, posterior margin with three denticles of equidistance, sparsely setose; affiliated plates about 3/4 length of uncus, sub-triangular but with two sharp horn-shaped posterolateral processes respectively. Gnathos with middle process extremely short, drop-shaped, apex pointed. Valva narrowly band-like, with a sub-triangular process at basal 1/4 on inner margin, distal 1/4 dilated to rounded and setose apex. Sacculus about 1/8 length of valva, nearly quadrate. Juxta triangular. Saccus about half length of valva, long triangle, apex pointed or blunt. Phallus almost straight, basally with a short handle, basal half dilated to elliptical, distal half without microthorns, but with an irregular-shaped sclerite subapically.</p>
            <p>Female unknown.</p>
            <p>Diagnosis. This species can be easily recognized by the following unique characters in the male genitalia: the uncus with three denticles on posterior margin, affiliated plates about 3/4 length of uncus, the gnathos with middle process shortly drop-shaped and the sacculus quadrate.</p>
            <p>Variation. Specimens from different places vary slightly in morphology. The holotype, which from Yunnan Province is larger than paratypes from Hainan Province in imaginal size (Figs 21–22). In addition, variations also occur in the male genitalia: the holotype with the uncus with affiliated plates more sharper on posterior margin, and the saccus with apex blunt (Fig. 36); on the contrary, the paratypes with the uncus with affiliated plates blunt on posterior margin, while the saccus with apex pointed (Figs 36a–36b).</p>
            <p>Distribution. China (Hainan, Yunnan).</p>
            <p>Etymology. The specific epithet of this species is derived from the Latin minutus, meaning small, and the Latin - gnathus, meaning gnathos, referring to the small gnathos in the male genitalia.</p>

            <p>Description. Adult (Figs 23–26) wingspan 12.0–15.0 mm. Head vertex grey to dark grey, scales tipped with blackish brown, frons light yellow. Labial palpus with second segment with inner surface yellowish white, outer surface blackish brown but decorated with pale yellowish brown scales tipped with white from basal 1/3 to 2/3, ventral surface yellowish brown tipped with blackish brown; third segment blackish brown except basal 1/3 to 2/3 covered with yellowish brown scales tipped with white. Antenna with scape blackish brown; flagellum blackish brown and yellowish brown alternated, serrate and thicker in male but unmodified in female. Thorax and tegula darkgoldenrod, scales tipped with blackish brown, paler or darker in some specimens. Forewing ground colour dark yellow to yellowish brown; costal patch indistinctly triangular, extending from between basal 1/4 and 1/2 of costal margin to fold, decorated with a few of white scales on inner margin sometimes, costal spot at distal 1/3, followed by some white scales; cell suffused with numerous blackish brown scales especially on mesial 1/3, posterior angle with a yellowish brown tuft; fold with two yellowish brown tufts below basal 1/3 and 2/3 respectively; apical angle with scales tipped with blackish brown; fringe dark grey intermixed with yellowish brown scales tipped with blackish brown. Hindwing and fringe dark grey. Fore and mid legs blackish brown scattered with white, tufts on tibiae yellowish brown tipped with white, tarsi with first, second and fifth tarsomeres ringed with yellowish brown apically; hind leg with inner surface yellowish white, outer surface greyish white, scales tipped with blackish brown, all tarsomeres ringed with yellowish white apically.</p>
            <p>Male genitalia (Figs 10, 37–38). Uncus single branch, basal half conic, distal half rodlike, apex narrowly rounded; affiliated plates about 3/4 length of uncus, strongly produced to wedge-shaped. Gnathos with middle process entirely hook-shaped, not inflated basally. Valva apically far exceeding tip of uncus, flagelliform, distal 1/5 slightly dilated to drop-shape, setose. Sacculus leaf-shaped, apex inwardly curved in beak-shaped. Juxta doublewave shaped. Saccus tapered from base to apex. Phallus nearly straight, basally with a short handle, then narrowed from dilated base to narrowly rounded apex, without microthorns.</p>
            <p>Female genitalia (Fig. 44). Apophyses posteriores about 7× length of subgenital plate. Subgenital plate rather narrow, sub-triangular, with a pair of rhomboidal posterolateral lobes of equal length of itself. Apophyses anteriores about 1/6 length of subgenital plate. Antrum indistinctly trapezoidal. Ductus bursae broadened anteriorly, with a small sclerotized plate near antrum. Corpus bursae oval; signum greatly long, almost same length of corpus bursae, cross-shaped, hardly with denticles except on outer edge.</p>
            <p> Diagnosis. This species is unique from its congeners in appearance and female genitalia. It can be recognized externally by the distinct costal patch, and by the unique subgenital plate which with a pair of posterolateral lobes, and the extremely big cross-shaped signum which about same length of corpus bursae in the female genitalia. In the male genitalia, it is similar to  P. kawabei Park &amp; Karsholt, 1999 , but can be recognized by the gnathos thicker, the valva with distal 1/5 dilated to drop-shaped, the phallus nearly straight; in  P. kawabei , the gnathos appears more slender, the valva with apex pointed, the phallus arched (Park &amp; Karsholt 1999: 46, Figs 42–43). </p>
            <p>Distribution. China (Yunnan).</p>
            <p> Etymology. The specific name is derived from the Latin proximus, meaning similar, and the specific name of  P. kawabei , referring to the similarity between the two species. </p>
