Description.

Head and pronotum whitish yellow. Scutellum and venter yellow; vertex and pronotum either side of midline marked with orange (Figs 1, 5); 3rd apical cell of forewing with dark elliptical spot (Figs 1, 12).

Abdominal apodemes reaching middle part of 6th abdominal sternite (Fig. 6).

Subgenital plates with one macroseta near base, apex beak-like (Fig. 7). Paramere slightly expanded subapically (Fig. 8). Aedeagal shaft in lateral view similar in width throughout length, process moderately long and slim, lying parallel to shaft (Figs 10, 11).

Body length.

Male 3.00 mm (including wing).

Material examined.

Holotype, male, China: Guangxi Prov., Lingchuan, Lingtian, 5 June 1984, coll. Lu Xiaolin, lamp (NWAFU).

Distribution.

China (Guangxi).

Remarks.

The male genitalia of the unique type could not be found. Therefore the pygofer (originally not figured) could not be examined and compared to the new species. Also, the original figure of the aedeagus (shown here, Fig. 10) did not show the membranous area of the basal apodeme shown in our new species. We conclude that this area was probably overlooked and add a line to the figure to show its approximate position.
