Distribution. China ( Hunan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Zhejiang), Japan.

Diagnosis. This species can be distinguished from its congeners by the large forewing length (wingspan 14.0̄ 15.5 mm) and yellow color, with dense transverse gray striae and a slightly hooked at apex.

Remarks. The holotype of this species was collected in China, labelled as “Kwanhsien/ China /F. 7.25” ( Moriuti 1969). Meyrick (1932) recorded the type locality as “N. China, Kwanhsien” in the original description.

Moriuti (1969) wrote N. China, and subsequently changed to C. China ( Moriuti 1977). Caradja (1931) clearly noted that Kwanhsien was in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. So the type locality of this species is Kwanhsien [now Dujiangyan County], Chengdu, Sichuan Province.
