Abstract
Nemophora maxinae is described from two specimens male and female collected in Thailand and Brunei respectively. The species is distinctive with plain coppery-brown forewings; it is the only Old World tropical adelid with uniformly coloured forewings. The female antenna is remarkable the proximal region resembling a bottle-brush with whorls of erect scales. The male genitalia of maxinae are similar to those of N. decisella (Walker) N. cantharites (Meyrick) and N. rubrofascia (Christoph) but differ in having a very slender aedeagus and the ventral margins of the valvae parallel and close (but not fused) in the basal one-third.
