Heterophleps inusitata, an extremely rare new moth species from western Yunnan, China (Lepidoptera, Geometridae, Larentiinae)

摘要

Heinitang is a small Lisu Nationality village located in western Yunnan Province, China, near the frontier of Myanmar. It is surrounded by low mountains covered with evergreen forests and shrubs (Fig. 1). As a tradition, the natives often cut and burn the forests for agriculture, resulting in increasing loss of forest habitat (Fig. 2). The moth fauna of this place is quite diverse, but as in other areas of the world, the biodiversity is decreasing due to more frequent human activities.
