Diagnosis. The only species of Aquatica with pale yellowish to brown dorsal colouration ( Fig. 17 View FIGURES 17 – 26 ); aedeagus ( Figs 19 – 21 View FIGURES 17 – 26 ) with LL apices inturned and hooked (arrowed in Figs 20, 21 View FIGURES 17 – 26 ); lacking teeth along inner basal margins of lateral lobes; aedeagal sheath sternite ( Figs 22 – 24 View FIGURES 17 – 26 ) with both anterior and posterior sections inclining to the right giving the sheath an angulate appearance where these sections join; posterior margin slightly produced and rounded, not emarginate; right margin bearing well defined toothed projection 1/3 length from tergite articulations, left side with smaller projection 1/3 length from apex. Females macropterous and coloured as for males; bursa bearing paired small fine plates and a single large asymmetrically shaped plate near the entry of the common oviduct. This species was collected in rice fields on the campus of Huazhong Agricultural University. Larvae ( Figs 25, 26 View FIGURES 17 – 26 ) have many glandular projections on eversible organs arising along the sides of the body ( Fu et al. 2007). Fu and Ballantyne’s Fig. 4 View FIGURES 2 – 7 (2006:343) does not indicate the small tooth like projection on the inner right of the aedeagal sheath sternite.
