Dasypolia (Tatsipolia) cerritula Chen, Pan, Volynkin, Saldaitis & Benedek, 2022 Figs 10, 42 Dasypolia (Tatsipolia) cerritula Chen et al., 2022: 192, figs 4, 11 (type locality: “ Sejila Mountain, Linzhi City, Xizang, China, N: 29°37'2"E: 94°38'30" ... 4500 m ”). Type material examined. Holotype (Figs 10, 42): China • ♂, “ STS- 32788 | Sejila Mountain, Linzhi City, | Xizang, China, | N: 29°37'2" | E: 94°38'30" | 4-X-2020 | h [Altitude] 4500 m (coll. [leg.:] Pan Zhaohui | and Chen Enyong) ” (TAAHU). Diagnosis. The forewing length is 11.5 mm in the male holotype. Dasypolia cerritula is most morphologically similar to D. polyformis sp. nov. and a detailed comparison is provided above in the diagnosis of the latter. Another similar species is the sympatric D. sejilaensis, from which D. cerritula can be distinguished by the greyish-brown hindwing with a smaller and rounded discal spot whereas the hindwing of D. sejilaensis is creamy with intense greyish suffusion outwardly and along the costal and anal margins, and its discal spot is large and falcate. The abdomen of D. cerritula is covered with black hair-like scales medially and distally whereas it is unicolourous brown in D. sejilaensis. In the male genital capsule, D. cerritula differs from D. sejilaensis in the narrower uncus, the larger penicular lobe with a more elongated posterior corner, and the shorter valva with a markedly broader cucullus densely covered with more robust setae. Additionally, the ampulla of D. cerritula is shorter and thinner than in D. sejilaensis, the valvula is markedly shorter and not protruding ventrally, the harpe is absent (it is present and tubercle-like in D. sejilaensis), and the juxta is narrower and bears a somewhat shorter and basally broader posterior medial process. The phalli and the vesica configurations of the two species are very similar but D. cerritula has two clusters of cornuti (vs 1 in D. sejilaensis). Distribution. The species is currently known only from its type locality in southern Xizang province of China.
