Number: 517, Pages: 9 - 13

The type specimens of the little studied species of many-plumed moths, Orneodes baihua, Orneodes beinongdai and Alucita ussurica, are examined. Of them one species is transferred to the genus Pterotopteryx and a new combination is proposed: Ptero­topteryx baihua (Yang, 1977), comb. n. New synonymy is proposed: Alucita beinongdai (Yang, 1977) = Alucita ussurica Ustjuzhanin, 1999, syn. n. The distribution of A. beinongdai is clarified.
