Eucyclodes textiloides Holloway sp. n.

♂♀ 13-15mm. The species has facies similar to that of the Himalayan E. textilis Butler comb. n., resembling a rather lightly marked E. discata though with the anterior part of the forewing postmedial more oblique, and with the hindwing postmedial nearer the margin, particularly towards the tornus. The following features of the male genitalia distinguish the species from textilis: the long, sinuous process from the apex of the valve costa, the setose transtillae, the expanded, rather trapezoid apex to the uncus and the very long gnathus.
