Auzata chinensis is a moth in the family Drepanidae. It was described by John Henry Leech in 1898. [1] It is found in the Chinese provinces of Hunan, Sichuan, Zhejiang and Shaanxi. [2]

The wingspan is about 38 mm for males 48 mm for females. Adults are similar to Auzata superba , but all the wings have a double antemedial pale fuscous line and an interrupted submarginal band of the same colour. The hindwings have a patch as on the forewings. The fringes of all wings are pale fuscous, interrupted with white at the ends of the nervules. [3]

Linnaea is a plant genus in the honeysuckle family Caprifoliaceae. Until 2013, the genus included a single species, Linnaea borealis. In 2013, on the basis of molecular phylogenetic evidence, the genus was expanded to include species formerly placed in Abelia, Diabelia, Dipelta, Kolkwitzia and Vesalea.
