Popis: Ancistroides nigrita diocles (Moore, [1866]) (Fig. 2: An4, An5; Fig. 4: An5; Fig. 5: An4) Nisoniades diocles Moore, [1866]: 787. Type locality: Bengal. Kerana diocles: Distant 1886: 403. Ancistroides nigrita diocles: Evans 1949: 280; Chou 1994: 718; Gu & Chen 1997: 314; Kimura 2011: 65; Anonymous 2022; Inayoshi 2022. This subspecies bears a larger body size: forewing length 24–26 mm (n = 6) in both sexes. Its male genitalia can be distinguished from those of the nominate subspecies and Ancistroides othonias by: distal part of valva wider, with its ventral edge arcuate; in lateral view, distal branch of valva higher than harpe; aedeagus longer, subzonal sheath and suprazonal sheath prominently bent; basal part and both branches of juxta much wider. The female genitalia (Fig. 4: An5) are different from those of A. othonias in: distal part of lamella antevaginal much wider in lateral view; lamella postvaginalis oval, gap on dorsal edge narrow and V-shaped. Distribution. Sikkim, Bhutan, Assam, Bengal, N. Shan St., Karens, S. Guangxi, Hainan Island.
