Head yellow. Antennae yellowish brown, with several terminal flagellomeres dark brown.

Wings slightly yellowish brown, with pterostigmatic areas pale brown; forewing with distal margin brown and with brownish markings on most crossveins except for costal crossveins; hindwing similarly patterned; veins pale brown.

Gonocoxite 9 robust on proximal half and strongly incurved on distal half. Ectoproct broad, directed posteroventrad, and strongly concaved on posterior margin. Complex of gonocoxites + gonostyli + gonapophyses 10 present as a pair of slender lobes, which are rather close to each other at the tip.

Female.

Specimens examined and records published.

Supplementary material 1. Holotype (by original designation), male, China, "Zhejiang, Tianmushan, 22.VII.1963, Io Chou" (CAU). Thus far, the holotype has not been found in the entomological collection of CAU. There is a possibility that the primary type is lost or damaged. However, due to a lack of any additional specimens of this species, we cannot designate a neotype.

Biology and ecology.

No data available. The larva is unknown.

Distribution.

China (Zhejiang).
