Abstract

The Chinese Andraca is revised with the check-list annotated. A new bombycid geographic subspecies, Andraca nobilorum houtuae Wang & Zolotuhin subsp. nov., is described from Damingshan National Nature Reserve, South China. The new subspecies differs from the nominate A. nobilorum. in Central Vietnam by the darker marker at the apex of the forewing indistinct but prominent in the holotype of A. nobilorum, and its male genitalia with the apex of valva slenderer and pointed. A key to the Chinese Andraca species and Pseudandraca flavamaculata, and the distributional maps are given. The male holotype specimen of the new subspecies is deposited in SCAU (South China Agricultural University, Guangzhou, China).
