Gesonia
pseudoinscitia sp. n.
 ,  11-13mm. The species resembles G. inscitia Swinhoe
(Indian Subregion, Taiwan) in facies, differing from obeditalis as described above. The male genitalia
are more like those of obeditalis, with a long lobe from the costa
rendering the valve bifid. However, the new species lacks the small rugose lobe
seen at the base of cleft of the two processes in obeditalis,
and the uncus has a more distal flexure and lacks a dorsal process.
