Palaeophanes lativalva is a species of moth in the family Arrhenophanidae. It is only known from the type locality, which is situated in a wet forested area in the central mountain range of Taiwan, at an elevation of about 1,400 m.
The length of the forewings is 4.7–5 mm for males.
Etymology[]
The specific name is derived from the Latin latus (broad) and valva (leaf of a folding door, valve), in reference to the principal apomorphy of this species (the extremely broad valvae of the male genitalia).
