Stevens).” / “Rothschild | Bequest |B.M.1939-1.” / QR-code label with unique ID “NHMUK010604627”, gen. prep.No.: NHMUK010313465 (prepared by Volynkin) (NHMUK).</p><p><b>Paratypes</b>. <b>INDIA</b>. <b>West Bengal</b>: 1 ♂, Echhey Forests, Burmaik, 13.ix.2018, S. Singh leg. (NZCZSI, 12617/ H10); <b>Arunachal Pradesh</b>: 1 ♂, Bomdila, 26.vi.2018, S. Santosh leg. (NZCZSI, 12613/H10).</p><p><b>Diagnosis</b>. The forewing length is 9.0 mm in males. <i>Miltochrista gopaldhara</i> <b>sp. nov.</b> is most morphologically similar to <i>M. neoseriata</i>, from which it is distinguished by the smaller size and the narrower forewing apex. In the male genital capsule, the new species is distinguished from <i>M. neoseriata</i> in the longer uncus and the considerably shorter distal costal process. The male genital capsule of <i>M. gopaldhara</i> <b>sp. nov.</b> is also reminiscent of <i>M. aureata</i> but differs in the proximally broader uncus, and the narrower valva with a more medially convex dorsal margin. The vesica of <i>M. gopaldhara</i> <b>sp. nov.</b> is markedly broader and more globular than in <i>M. neoseriata</i> (it is rather sack-like in the latter), and the lateral cornutus sits on the shorter and narrower diverticulum situated on the right side of the vesica (vs. the left side in the congener). Compared to <i>M. aureata</i>, the vesica of the new species is slightly narrower and bears almost equal cornuti, whereas in <i>M. aureata</i> the distal cornutus is broader while the lateral one is considerably shorter than in <i>M. gopaldhara</i> <b>sp. nov.</b></p><p>The female is unknown.</p><p><b>Distribution</b>. Northeast India (north of West Bengal and Arunachal Pradesh).</p><p><b>Etymology</b>. The specific epithet is homonymic of the type locality of the new species. The name is a noun in nominative singular in apposition.</p>
