Abstract:

"Calliprogonos miraculosa Mell, 1937 (Lepidoptera: Brahmaeidae) was originally described from three male specimens collected in 1937 in the Tabaishan in Shaanxi province, China, until now the only known specimens. We here report the rediscovery of the species, not at its type locality, where it has yet to be recaptured despite intensive effort, but far distant in Sichuan province. The species is figured in colour, and its male genitalia are also described and figured. The female and the preimaginal instars remain unknown."
