A Brief Introduction:
Cirrhochrista spinuella represents an unrecorded member of Cirrhochrista, a genus with five speceis in Taiwan and shares quite similar wing pattern with C. brizoalis. This two species could be identifed by the following character: C. brizoalis with a circle near the tornus of forewing while C. spinuella without it. Owing to the similar wing pattern, this two species are regarded as one species, C. brizoalis until the study of Chen et al.(2006).
