The genus Barsura Volynkin, Dubatolov Kishida, 2017 belongs to the tribe Lithosiini, subfamily Arctiinae, family Erebidae, and was recently erected for Barsine nubifascia Walker, [1865] and its allies (Volynkin et al. 2017). At present the genus includes ten valid species distributed in Himalaya (Pakistan, Nepal, northern and northeastern India, Bhutan), China and North Vietnam (Volynkin et al. 2017; Volynkin 2017). During studies of extensive Lithosiini materials deposited in Museum Witt / Zoologische Staatssammlung, München (Munich, Germany), I found a short series of one more, yet undescribed species from the Chinese province Sichuan. The description of the new species is presented below.
巴尔苏拉属(Barsura Volynkin, Dubatolov & Kishida, 2017)隶属于灯蛾族(Lithosiini)、灯蛾亚科(Arctiinae)、夜蛾科(Erebidae),是最近为巴氏带翅灯蛾(Barsine nubifascia Walker, [1865])及其近缘种建立的属(Volynkin等人,2017)。目前该属包括10个有效种,分布于喜马拉雅地区(巴基斯坦、尼泊尔、印度北部和东北部、不丹)、中国和越南北部(Volynkin等人,2017;Volynkin,2017)。在研究存放在德国慕尼黑维特博物馆/动物学国家博物馆(Museum Witt / Zoologische Staatssammlung, München)的大量灯蛾族标本时,我发现了来自中国四川省的一小系列另一个尚未描述的物种。新物种的描述如下。
