Etymology.
The specific epithet refers to the type locality, Minshan Mountains.
Diagnosis.
The new species can be readily distinguished from its congeners by the following combination of features: 1) paramere short and bifurcated, bearing a column of long golden spines along the dorsal side; 2) gonocoxite bearing a cluster of black long bristles on the inner apex; 3) dorsal valves of the aedeagus curved ventrally, with the distal part heel-shaped; 4) main plate of medigynium flat, intensely narrowed at the base and broadened distally.
Description of male
(Fig. 5A View Figure 5 ). Head. Frons, vertex and occiput entirely black (Fig. 5C, D View Figure 5 ). Compound eyes dark gray. Rostrum brownish black anteriorly, mandibles, labial and maxillary palps dark-brown (Fig. 5C View Figure 5 ). Antennae filiform and black, with 38-43 flagellomeres.
Thorax (Fig. 5D View Figure 5 ). Pronotum black, with 10-14 black setae along anterior margin. Meso- and metanotum entirely black. Pleura and legs pale yellow with a pair of apical spurs; tarsi darkened toward apices. Forewing length 12.0-12.5 mm, width 3.1-3.3 mm. Wing membrane hyaline, pterostigma and apical band poorly developed, only with dark gray trace at apical region (Figs 5A View Figure 5 , 7A View Figure 7 ). Hindwing length 11.8-12.2 mm, width 2.8-3.2 mm, similar to forewings (Fig. 5A View Figure 5 ).
Abdomen (Fig. 5A, E View Figure 5 ). T1-T5 brownish black, pleura pale. Notal organ of T3 semicircular, not prominent. Postnotal organ of T4 small, barb-shaped and projecting forward. T6 brownish black, bearing a yellow finger-like anal horn posteriorly (Fig. 5E View Figure 5 ). A7 and A8 elongate and uniformly yellowish brown, with basal half slightly constricted and slightly thickened apically.
Male genitalia (Fig. 6A, B View Figure 6 ). Genital bulb globular and yellowish brown. Epandrium broad basally, narrowing gradually toward apex, with a deep U-shaped emargination between two stout setose lobes (Fig. 6B View Figure 6 ). Paired hypovalves parallel, only reaching three-quarters of gonocoxite, bearing long bristles along inner margins. Gonocoxite bearing a cluster of black bristles on inner apex (Fig. 6A View Figure 6 ). Gonostylus shorter than gonocoxite, medially curved, bearing an indistinct middle tooth and a large basal process. Parameres bifurcated and short, not extending beyond the apex of gonocoxite, bearing a column of long golden spines along dorsal side (Fig. 6C, E View Figure 6 ). Dorsal valves of aedeagus curved ventrally, with distal part heel-shaped (Fig. 6F View Figure 6 ); ventral valves membranous, weakly developed; lateral process long and curved ventrally.
Description of female.
Similar to males in coloration and patterns (Figs 5B View Figure 5 , 7B View Figure 7 ). Forewing length 12.7-13.4 mm, width 3.3-3.7 mm; Hindwing length 12.1-12.5 mm, width 3.1-3.5 mm, similar to forewing (Fig. 5B View Figure 5 ).
Female genitalia. Subgenital plate long elliptical, ending with a V-shaped incision, bearing long setae on distal portion (Fig. 6D View Figure 6 ). Medigynium small and weakly sclerotized; main plate flat, intensely narrowed basally, broadened distally (Fig. 6H View Figure 6 ). Paired posterior arms tapering apically, forming a nearly quadrate emargination. Ventral basal plates membranous and translucent, covering approximately three-quarters of main plate (Fig. 6G View Figure 6 ). Paired dorsal basal plates oblong, weakly sclerotized (Fig. 6H View Figure 6 ). Axis elongated and bifurcated anteriorly, extending beyond main plate by nearly half its length (Fig. 6G, H View Figure 6 ).
Distribution.
China (Minshan, Sichuan and Gansu provinces).
Habitat.
In the type locality, all specimens were captured on herbaceous groundcover in the Panjiagou Valley (Fig. 7C View Figure 7 ), with an elevation of 2400 m. Suitable microhabitats in the valley are moist and cool during the imaginal flight period, with the temperature ranging approximately from 14 to 20°C during the day.
