The rubra and the fuscimacularis species-groups of the genus Promalactis Meyrick, 1908 are proposed for the first time based on the forewing patterns. Moths of the rubra species-group are characterized by the ochreous forewing of all shades with a short dorsal spot or a short obliquely inward dorsal streak; moths of the fuscimacularis species-group are characterized by the forewing having a dark basal spot or a dark basal costal patch. Six species are described as new: P. albimarginalis Wang, sp. nov., P. introextensa Wang, sp. nov., P. magnisticta Wang, sp. nov., P. anteromacularis Wang, sp. nov., P. fuscimacularis Wang, sp. nov., P. folivalvaris Wang, sp. nov. Photographs of adults and genitalia of the new species are provided. A list of species belonging to both species-groups is given.
首次基于前翅模式提出了 Promalactis Meyrick, 1908 属的 rubra 和 fuscimacularis 两个种组。rubra 种组的飞蛾特征为所有色调的橙黄色前翅，具有短的背斑或短的斜向内背条纹；fuscimacularis 种组的飞蛾特征为前翅具有暗的基部斑点或暗的基部缘毛斑。描述了 6 个新种：albimarginalis Wang, sp. nov.、introextensa Wang, sp. nov.、magnisticta Wang, sp. nov.、anteromacularis Wang, sp. nov.、fuscimacularis Wang, sp. nov.、folivalvaris Wang, sp. nov.。提供了新种成虫和生殖器的照片。列出了属于这两个种组的物种列表。
