Abstract: Zophoessa yemadingdui sp. nov. is described from northwestern Yunnan Province, China. The new species can be distinguished from the reminiscent Z. procne Leech, 1891 by the absence of pale postdiscal spots on both sides of the forewing, the down-curved (lateral view) and tapered (dorsal view) uncus in the male genitalia, the more sharply pointed apex of valva, the markedly longer aedeagus, and the consistently narrower androconia bearing only three to four apical spines. Differences between the new species and other congeners previously placed in the Z. procne species group as well as the taxonomic position of the new species are also discussed.

摘要:本文记述了发现于中国云南省西北部的眼蝶一新种:业马定都幽眼蝶 (Zophoessa yemadingdui sp. nov.)。该新种与其近缘种彩斑幽眼蝶 (Z. procne Leech, 1891) 的区别在于:前翅外中域缺乏浅色斑块;雄性外生殖器的钩形突侧面观下弯、背面观渐细;抱握瓣末端更尖锐;阳茎显著更长;以及香鳞更细且仅具三至四个端刺。文中还讨论了该新种与先前被归入彩斑幽眼蝶种组的其他近似种之间的差异,并探讨了新种的分类地位。
