Oenospila microstrix Holloway sp. n.
♂ 12mm. This species resembles the Himalayan O.strix Butler in facies but is much smaller. The hindwing postmedial broadens out into a triangular patch at the dorsum as in strix and relatives (OlerospilaGen.n). It is distinguished by the male genitalia where the valve is narrower than in strix, the costal margin straighter with a small central process. The saccular process is broad, short as in strix.
