Diagnosis. This new species shares similar patterns with P. apicispinifera Wang, Kendric & Sterling, 2009 and P. unifurcata sp. nov. in both forewing patterns and male genitalia. Promalactis apicifurcata sp. nov. and P. unifurcata sp. nov. can be distinguished from P. apicispinifera by the sacculus being produced to a dorsoapical process and having a right ventral angle, while the sacculus of P. apicispinifera is simply produced to a distal process and lacks a ventral angle; P. apicifurcata sp. nov. can be separated from P. unifurcata sp. nov. by both the right and left lateral lobes furcated, while the right lateral lobe is not furcate in P. unifurcata. Description. Adult (Fig. 6) wingspan 6.5 mm. Head with vertex and frons yellow, occiput grayish brown. Labial palpus with second segment blackish brown on basal 2/3, distal 1/3 yellow, tinged with blackish brown scales at distal end on outer surface; third segment blackish brown except yellow at base and apex. Antenna with scape yellow except black apically; flagellum black ringed with yellow. Thorax ochreous brown; tegula ochreous brown basally, yellow distally. Forewing ground color ochreous yellow; costal margin with three blackish brown spots: basal spot large rectangular, oblique outward, across 2/3 width of wing ventrally; median spot subquadrangular, oblique outward and touching upper margin of cell ventrally, its inner margin ill-defined, outer margin extending to lower angle of cell and bordered by a white streak; distal spot large sub-triangular, occupying at least anterior 2/3 of apical area; white streak running along outer margin of basal costal spot to lower angle of cell and meeting white streak running from outer margin of median costal spot; dorsum with a small irregular black spot at base, with a large rectangular blackish brown spot at basal 1/3 oblique outward to lower margin of cell, edged laterally with white streaks running to above-mentioned oblique white streak; elliptic white spot at apex and termen respectively; tornal spot black, diffused to lower angle of cell; cilia yellow, black-tipped basally. Hindwing and cilia grayish brown. Foreleg blackish brown, tibia with yellow tuft of scales at middle and apex; midleg with femur yellow, blackish brown tibia with yellow dot at middle on dorsal surface and with yellow tuft of scales at middle and apex, tarsi of fore- and midlegs blackish brown except yellow at base and at apex of first tarsomere as well as on distal half of second and fifth tarsomeres; hindleg with femur and tibia grayish yellow on ventral surface, gray on dorsal surface, tarsus grayish yellow on ventral surface, blackish brown on dorsal surface except yellow at base and at apex of first tarsomere and on distal half of second and fifth tarsomeres. Male genitalia (Fig. 14): Uncus bell-like, parallel laterally in basal half, digitiform in distal half, rounded apically. Gnathos tongue-shaped, granulate distally, rounded apically, about same length as uncus. Valva separated into costal and saccular parts: costal part sub-rectangular, slightly narrowed to sinuate apex, costa narrow, sclerotized; saccular part sub-rectangular, produced to a setose, elongate triangular dorsoapical process that is about same length as uncus, sacculus narrow, sclerotized, setose distally, right angled apically. Saccus approximately same length as uncus, narrowly rounded anteriorly. Juxta with lateral lobes heavily sclerotized, asymmetrical: right lobe reaching base of uncus, longer than left lobe, forked distally and forming two small lobes of equal length, left lobe reaching middle of tegumen, furcate distally and forming two long branches of equal length; basal lobe reaching anterior 1/3 of saccus. Aedeagus longer than sacculus; cornutus longer than 1/5 length of aedeagus, spine-like, placed before middle. Female unknown. Distribution. China (Hainan). Etymology. The specific epithet is derived from the latin apic - and furcatus, referring to both the right and left lobes which are forked distally.Published as part of Hu, Sha & Wang, Shuxia, 2017, Taxonomic study of the genus Promalactis Meyrick (Lepidoptera, Oecophoridae) from Hainan Island, China (III), pp. 590-600 in Zootaxa 4303 (4) on page 596, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4303.4.9, http://zenodo.org/record/84158

Antenna with scape pale ochreous yellow tinged with blackish brown, flagellum alternately pale ochreous yellow and black. Thorax and tegula blackish brown. Forewing with a large elongate triangular black blotch extending from base to costal 2/3, its posterior margin obliquely sinuate from near base of dorsum to costal 2/3, edged with white; dorsum with an obscure blackish brown band extending to dorsal 2/5, forming a fork with large black blotch; remaining part ochreous yellow, with scattered black scales running along termen to tornus; distal patch black, with a creamy yellow apical spot; cilia yellow. Hindwing and cilia grayish brown. Legs with femora yellow mixed with black, tibiae brown ventrally, black marked with white dorsally, tarsi black with white at apex of each tarsomere. Male genitalia (Fig. 15). Uncus with basal 3/4 uniformly broad, distal 1/4 narrowed to pointed apex. Gnathos weakly sclerotized, narrowly rounded at apex. Valva sub-rectangular, rounded at apex; costa slightly convex, basal half narrow and uniform, distal half gradually widened to truncate apex, apex with two denticles dorsoapically, triangularly protruded ventroapically; sacculus wide at base, slightly narrowed to basal 2/5, distal 3/5 ill-defined, bearing sparse long setae. Saccus broad at base, sharply narrowed to pointed apex, shorter than uncus. Juxta with lateral lobes elongate elliptical; basal lobe slender, about 3/4 length of saccus. Aedeagus slightly shorter than valva, straight, basal half aequilate, distal half slightly thickened; cornutus spine-shaped, obliquely truncate at base, about 1/6 length of aedeagus, placed distally. Female genitalia (Fig. 18). Apophyses anteriores strong, about 5/8 length of apophyses posteriores. Ostium bursae very large; lamella postvaginalis sub-elliptical, deeply concave in tongue shape from middle on posterior margin to anterior margin of ostium bursae. Antrum short, funneled. Ductus bursae slender, slightly widened beyond basal 2/3. Corpus bursae ovate, granulate; with two large elliptical signa, bearing dense triangular denticles. Distribution. China (Hainan). Etymology. The species epithet is derived from the Latin longi- and maculatus, referring to the black elongate triangular blotch in the forewing.Published as part of Hu, Sha & Wang, Shuxia, 2017, Taxonomic study of the genus Promalactis Meyrick (Lepidoptera, Oecophoridae) from Hainan Island, China (III), pp. 590-600 in Zootaxa 4303 (4) on page 597, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4303.4.9, http://zenodo.org/record/84158
