Matsumura (1909) described Oreta theae in the family Drapenidae without type designation, the only plate illustrated is a female. Shiraki (1911: 48) placed O. theae under the name " Pseudoeupterote bipunctata Shir. [sic] " in the family Eupterotidae. The authorship of the listed scientific name is apparently Walker, 1865. Based on the accompanied Japanese common name " Futatenkagiba ", the species can be regarded as the misidentification of O. theae. The generic name, Pseudoeupterote, can be considered available under the Code (ICZN articles 12.2.5), and the type species is Oreta theae Matsumura, 1909, which was long considered a synonym of A. bipunctata. Miyata (1979) stated that the Taiwanese population is specifically different from Himalayan A. bipunctata (though his A. bipunctata should be the misidentification of A. trilochoides trilochoide Walker, 1865), and revalidated the species name, Andraca theae to the former. Wang et al. (2012) designated a male as the lectotype of Oreta theae from HUM.	en	Wu, Shipher, Chang, Wei-Chun (2016): Andraca yauichui sp. n., a new species endemic to mid elevation forests of Taiwan (Bombycidae sensu lato, Lepidoptera).

038EBD3CE979FFA475D68940FF65FE8B.taxon	distribution	Distribution and bionomics. This species is distributed in Taiwan, southeastern China (Anhui, Hunan and Guangdong) and Nepal (Wang et al., 2015). In Taiwan, the populations can be frequently found in planted tea garden and the larvae are regarded as a serious pest of new tea leaves especially in May. The nature populations occur infrequently in low to mid-elevation forests, primarily ranging from 100 to 1000 m and there is one record from Lalashan, northeastern Taiwan, about 1500 m, where a tea garden is distributed. Adults appear from February to November. The recorded host plants consist of Adinandra formosana var. formosana, Camellia sinensis, Ca. formosensis, Ca. tenuifolia, Cleyera ochnacea, Eurya japonica, Gordonia axillaris (all Theaceae) (Wang, 1995; Lin, 2005; Wang et al., 2015) and a probably inccorrect record on Melastoma candidum (Melastomataceae) by Sonan (1937). The recent study adds E. loquaiana and the first record on the family Symplocaceae, i. e. Symplocos chinensis, as hostplants. The detailed morphology and ethology of the immature stage have been given by Lin (2005).	en	Wu, Shipher, Chang, Wei-Chun (2016): Andraca yauichui sp. n., a new species endemic to mid elevation forests of Taiwan (Bombycidae sensu lato, Lepidoptera).

These three species can be distinguished by: the larger size in A. yauichui and A. trilochoides (forewing length 21 – 25 mm in males, 26 – 28 in females) than that in A. theae (forewing length 15 – 18 mm in males, 18 – 26 in females); the white vertex in males of A. yauichui and A. trilochoides rather than the monotonous brown head in male of A. theae; the submarginal line tinged with sliver in A. yauichui and A. trilochoides but not in A. theae; the paler, ochreous region between hindwing costal margin to 1 / 3 part from costal margin in A. yauichui and A. trilochoides rather than hindwing nearly monotonous brown in A. theae, especially in males; the incurved forewing submarginal line medially in females of A. yauichui rather than smoothly curved at the same part in females of A. theae; the strongly sclerotized uncus with hooked apex in A. yauichui and A. theae rather than strongly flattened uncus with obtuse apex in A. trilochoides trilochoides (Fig. 16) and A. trilochoides roepkei Bryk, 1944 (Fig. 17); the truncate or blunt valval apex in A. yauichui and A. trilochoides rather than prominent bifurcate apex in A. theae; the lateral margins of antrum more expanded in A. yauichui than that in A. theae; a pair of prominent white spot locating at the lateral part of each abdominal segment in final instar larvae in A. yauichui rather than without white spot in A. theae; the presence of a distinct short anal horn in A. yauichui rather than absent in A. theae.	en	Wu, Shipher, Chang, Wei-Chun (2016): Andraca yauichui sp. n., a new species endemic to mid elevation forests of Taiwan (Bombycidae sensu lato, Lepidoptera).

Distributed in mid mountain ranges between 1721 to 2610 m, the adults occasionally occur from January to November. According to the breeding record by Mei-Yu Chen in mid-elevation of Central Mountain Range, Meifeng (ca. 2100 m), four final instar larvae were found on Eurya strigillosa (Theaceae) on 17 th December, 2003, the emerging date of the first adult is 21 th March, 2004.	en	Wu, Shipher, Chang, Wei-Chun (2016): Andraca yauichui sp. n., a new species endemic to mid elevation forests of Taiwan (Bombycidae sensu lato, Lepidoptera).
