Figs 1–3 View FIGURES 1 – 3. Z , 39–47 View FIGURES 39 – 47

Description. Body brown and shining, lateral marginal stripe and median stripe on vertex reddish-orange, rest of vertex grey-brown ( Figs. 1 View FIGURES 1 – 3. Z ). Frons white, frontoclypeus, anteclypeus and lorum dark brown, gena white ( Fig. 3 View FIGURES 1 – 3. Z ). Pronotum grey-brown with lateral dark brown broad stripes not reaching hind margin. Scutum grey with basal triangles and median dark brown stripe on scutellum ( Fig. 1 View FIGURES 1 – 3. Z ). Forewing transparent and infuscate with brown veins, long oblique brown stripe from midlength of clavus to middle of corium, brochosome field with elliptical dark red patch, brown stripe along apical veins, third apical cell with distinct dark spot ( Figs. 1, 2 View FIGURES 1 – 3. Z , 40 View FIGURES 39 – 47 ). Hind wing transparent with brown veins ( Fig. 41 View FIGURES 39 – 47 ).

Male abdominal apodemes slender, reaching midlength of sixth sternite ( Fig. 39 View FIGURES 39 – 47 ).

Male genital capsule short, pygophore side extended centrally and truncated terminally, with short, sclerotized process internally and directed ventrally, with six long macrosetae posterodorsally, numerous small setae along posterior margin ( Fig. 42 View FIGURES 39 – 47 ). Subgenital plate tapered in basal half, with apex sclerotized and hooklike, with two macrosetae and some microsetae centrally ( Figs. 42, 45 View FIGURES 39 – 47 ). Paramere with long, tapering curved apical part and with a row of thin setae subapically ( Fig. 44 View FIGURES 39 – 47 ). Connective short, V-shaped ( Fig. 43 View FIGURES 39 – 47 ). Aedeagus with preatrium long and dorsal apodeme developed; shaft with basal pair of processes longer than shaft; gonopore apical ( Figs. 46, 47 View FIGURES 39 – 47 ).

Body length. 2.91–3.10 mm (including wing).

Material examined. Holotype, 13, China: Yunnan Prov., Mt. Baoshan, 19 Nov. 1999, coll. I. Dworakowska. Paratypes, 53, 14Ƥ, fig tree, same data as holotype.

Distribution. China (Yunnan)

Remarks. The new species resembles Z. processa sp. nov., but differs in having a dark brown scutellum, dark red brochosome field and smaller dark spot in the third apical cell of the forewing ( Figs. 1, 2 View FIGURES 1 – 3. Z ); Z. processa sp. nov. has a yellow scutellum, red brochosome field and larger dark spot in the third apical cell of the forewing (Figs. 13, 14). It also differs from all the known species of Zyginella in having basal processes of the aedeagal shaft exceeding the length of shaft ( Figs. 46, 47 View FIGURES 39 – 47 ).

Etymology. The new species is named in honor of Dr Irena Dworakowska for her contribution to the knowledge of World Typhlocybinae .
