Coloration. Vertex pale yellowish, marked with dark brown reticulation and light brown patches, two yellowish brown spots between eyes; eyes grey with brown transverse stripe; ocelli white (Fig. 1C). Face black (Fig. 1D). Pronotum pale yellowish, marked with dark brown reticulation and yellowish brown patches. Scutellum pale yellowish with dark brown reticulation (Fig. 1C).

Postclypeus flat; anteclypeus ridged medially, lateral margins slightly convex, truncate at apex (Fig. 1D). Pronotum length 2.0 times medial length of crown. Scutellum length 0.7 times medial length of pronotum (Fig. 1C).

Male genitalia. Pygophore longer than high, with short and long macrosetae near posterior margin (Fig. 3A). Valve triangular. Subgenital plate extending beyond apex of pygofer, nearly triangular, with sparsely distributed setae on ventral side (Fig. 3B). Style with developed preapical lobe, apical apophysis pointed, fingerlike, curved laterally; preapical lobe with several setae near inner margin (Fig. 3C). Connective ‘Y’-shaped, stem slightly longer than anterior arms (Fig. 3D).

Material examined. Holotype ♂ (NWAFU), CHINA, Yunnan Prov., Longling County, Xiaoheishan, 27 April 2012, coll. Cao Yanghui ; Paratypes: 2♂ (NWAFU), CHINA, Yunnan Prov., Xishuangbanna, 10 June 2019, coll. Wang Dongming.

Diagnosis. This species can be distinguished from other species in this genus by the slender aedeagal shaft, with a pair of triangular preapical processes. The genus also has some resemblance to Tambila Distant, but the latter has the head in profile angled to the apex near the eye.

Etymology. This specific epithet is from the Latin word “ mini ” referring to the aedeagal shaft being slender.
