Ethmia dentata Diakonoff and Sattler, 1966, Ent. Berichten, vol. 26, p. 189, figs. 1-3. 



Distribution: Formosa, Japan, Philippine Is. 



Material examined: Mindanao, Zamboanga del Sur, Zamboanga, 

 30.VI.1958 (H.E. Milliron), 1 9, genit. slide 5324, paratype (BMH). 

 Luzon, Benguet Subprov., Klondyke, 800 ft., 15.III. and 6.IV.1912 

 (A.E. Wileman), 2 9, genit. shde 5549, allotype and paratype (Roths- 

 child bequest, BM). Similar to Ethmia argopa Meyrick from Malaya, 

 but with all dots smaller, hindwing orange instead of Ught yellow, with 

 apical area black and reaching ceU (in E. argopa paler, not reaching 

 cell). The cf and 9 genitaUa show great differences from those of 

 both Ethmia praeclara and E. argopa (figs. 392, 393). 



Also recorded from Formosa: Takow, and Japan: Kyushu, Amami 

 Islands, and Toshima. The male holotype is from Takow, Formosa
