Description. Head, pronotum and scutellum brown. Median length of vertex longer than half width between eyes or scutellum ( Fig. 32 View FIGURES 25 – 36. 25 ). Face black ( Fig. 35 View FIGURES 25 – 36. 25 ).
Male genitalia: Paramere long, anterior portion longer than caudal portion, caudal portion somewhat robust, with apex strongly recurved medioventrally, with some macrosetae near the recurved area ( Figs 17, 18 View FIGURES 13 – 24 ). Connective approximately T-shaped with high dorsomedial keel ( Figs 17, 18 View FIGURES 13 – 24 ). Aedeagus shaft compressed, with process arising from each side of posterior margin basally, apex of process twisted like ox horn ( Figs 17, 18 View FIGURES 13 – 24 ). Pygofer side oblong, long posterior process from ventral margin with small spicule near base ( Fig. 19 View FIGURES 13 – 24 ).
Other characteristics are as shown in Figs 17–20 View FIGURES 13 – 24 , 32, 35 View FIGURES 25 – 36. 25 .

Type Material. Holotype 3, CHINA: Yunnan, Lushui, Pianma, 21 May 2010, coll. Zhang Pei. Paratypes: 23, CHINA: Yunnan, Lushui, Pianma, 21 May 2010, coll. Zhang Pei; 13, CHINA: Yunnan, Gongshan, Bingzhongluo, 13 May 2010, coll. Zheng Yanli ( GUGC).
Remarks. This species is similar to Midoria lamellata Li & Li , but can be distinguished by the shape of the male pygofer side, the shape of the paramere and the shape of the aedeagal ventrosubapical processes ( Figs 17, 18, 19 View FIGURES 13 – 24 ).
Etymology. The species name is derived from the Latin word torsiva (tortuose, screwlike), indicating the shape of the aedeagal shaft processes.
