DESCRIPTION. Female (holotype). General appearance similar to that of X.? laosi sp. n.

but distinguished by following characters: body without traces of yellowish stripes on light greenish pronotum; rather short groove on dorsum of upper rostral tubercle distinct; exposed parts of hind wings, visible behind tegminal apices, approximately 2.8 mm in length; genital plate with more oblique proxilateral parts of proximal half, distinctly narrower distal part and almost angular lateral edges between this distal part and most widened part of this plate ( Fig. View Figs 46–68

55); ovipositor almost identical to that of this species ( Fig. 87 View Figs 69–88 ).

Male unknown.

MEASUREMENTS. Length (in mm). Body 12.5; body with wings 25.5; pronotum 3.9;

tegmina 18.5; hind femora 11; ovipositor 8.

COMPARISON. The new species is somewhat similar to X. (X.) trusmadi Gorochov,

2008, X. (X.) sabahi Gorochov, 2008 and Epiproctopsis silvamontana Gorochov, 2016 in the strongly narrowed posterior part of the female genital plate, but it is distinguished from them by the widened part of this plate clearly shorter. Differences from X.? laosi sp. n., which is also more or less similar to X.? lampungi sp. n., are listed in the latter species description.

ETYMOLOGY. This species is named after the province where it was collected.
