Type material. Holotype 3, China: Yunnan Prov., Lushui County, Pianma, 18 May 2000, coll. Zizhong Li ( GUGC). Paratypes: 136Ƥ, same data as holotype; 131Ƥ, Yunnan Prov., Baoshan City, Baihualing, 6 May 2010, coll. Hu Li ( GUGC); 23, Yunnan Prov., Lushui County, Liuku, 16 May 2010, coll. Pei Zhang ( GUGC).

Diagnosis. This new species is similar to Subhimalus nigrifacialis (Distant) but the apex of the aedeagal shaft swollen, the apex of style external process gradually attenuate and the internal process of the style serrate apically, and the structure of the forewing and female abdominal sternum VII is also different.

Etymology. The species name is derived from the Latin words “ attenuatus ”, indicating the internal process of style slender and the apex of the style external process gradually attenuate.
