Diagnosis.

This new species is distinguished by the following characters: vertex with four black brown bands along lateral margins and median carina (Fig. 7 View Figures 5–16 ); mesonotum with each other one dark spot between lateral and sublateral carinae (Fig. 7 View Figures 5–16 ); genital styles with irregular triangular prominence near dorsal margin at base of capitulum (Fig. 12a View Figures 5–16 ); dorsal lobe of phallobase with one small claviform process in base (Fig. 15b View Figures 5–16 ), and convex protrusion near middle (Fig. 15c View Figures 5–16 ) and apical part with a duckbill-like process (Fig. 15d View Figures 5–16 ), lateral margin with one long hooked process (Fig. 15e View Figures 5–16 ) on each side; ventral lobe with apical part mushroom-like in ventral view (Fig. 16h View Figures 5–16 ); aedeagus with one short hooked process near apical 1/3 in lateral view, directing to cephalad (Fig. 15i View Figures 5–16 ).

Body length (from apex of vertex to tip of forewings): male 7.80-8.31 mm (N = 11), female 8.80-9.30 mm (N = 7); forewing: male 6.50-7.80 mm (N = 11), female 7.60-9.30 mm (N = 7).

Coloration. General colour yellow-green (Fig. 5 View Figures 5–16 ). Vertex (Fig. 7 View Figures 5–16 ) yellow-brown, with four black brown bands along lateral margins and median carina, with pale yellow median carina. Frons and clypeus (Fig. 9 View Figures 5–16 ) ochreous. Compound eyes black brown, ocelli pale ochreous (Fig. 8 View Figures 5–16 ). Pronotum and mesonotum (Fig. 7 View Figures 5–16 ) yellow brown, mesonotum with pair of dark spots between lateral carinae and sublateral carinae. Male forewings (Fig. 6 View Figures 5–16 ) yellow green, with diffusely brownish irregular speckles near middle of MP vein and CuA vein, and the base of ScP+RP vein; female forewings brown. Hindwings transparent. Abdomen pale yellow-green, suffused with black-brown near middle line. Male genitalia pale yellow green. Female genitalia brown black. Tip of spines on hind tibiae and tarsi black.

Head and thorax. Head (Fig. 7 View Figures 5–16 ) including eyes distinctly narrower than pronotum (0.77: 1.00). Vertex (Fig. 7 View Figures 5–16 ) slightly shorter in middle than the width (0.75: 1.00). Frons (Fig. 9 View Figures 5–16 ) longer in middle than the maximum width (1.14: 1.00), with median carina nearly reaching frontoclypeal suture, sublateral carinae obscure, nearly reaching the level of middle of frons. Pronotum (Fig. 7 View Figures 5–16 ) shorter in midline than the width (0.31: 1.00). Mesonotum (Fig. 7 View Figures 5–16 ) shorter in midline than its width (0.43: 1.00); the basal part forked, scutellum sunken. Forewings (Fig. 10 View Figures 5–16 ) longer than width (2.33: 1.00), MP two branches near basal 1/3, MP1 dividing two branches in distal 1/4, MP2 not forked, CuA forked into two branches in middle of forewing, Pcu and A1 uniting slightly after MP bifurcation. Hindwings (Fig. 11 View Figures 5–16 ) with one transverse vein between CuP and Pcu near apical part, with transverse vein between Pcu+A11 and A12 near basal 1/3. Spinal formula of hind leg (2)7/6, 7/2.

Male genitalia. Anal tube (Fig. 13 View Figures 5–16 ) longer than its widest breath (2.90: 1.00) in dorsal view, anterior margin arched convex, lateral margins nearly parallel at apical 2/3, the basal 1/3 part broader than apical part. Anal style (Fig. 13 View Figures 5–16 ) small, extremely short and thin, located in basal 2/5 of anal tube, not surpassing the end of the anal pore. Pygofer (Fig. 12 View Figures 5–16 ) with dorsal and ventral margin paralleled in lateral view. Genital styles (Fig. 12 View Figures 5–16 ) with irregular triangular prominence at base of capitulum (Fig. 12a View Figures 5–16 ). Capitulum of genital styles irregularly keen-edged triangular, neck very long and obvious (Fig. 14 View Figures 5–16 ). Phallobase (Figs 15 View Figures 5–16 , 16 View Figures 5–16 ) with dorsal margin of dorsal lobe with one small claviform process in base (Fig. 15b View Figures 5–16 ) in lateral view, convex protrusion near middle (Fig. 15c View Figures 5–16 ) and apical part with duckbill-like process (Fig. 15d View Figures 5–16 ), lateral margin with one long hooked process on each side (Figs 15e View Figures 5–16 , 16e View Figures 5–16 ), surpassing middle of phallobase, directing to cephalad, and lateral margin waved obviously, with one lobe-like process (Fig. 15f View Figures 5–16 ); lateral lobe splitting into two branches, slightly shorter than the dorsal lobe, with unobvious small lamina-like process (Fig. 15g View Figures 5–16 ); ventral lobe slightly shorter than lateral lobe in lateral view, stout, with apical part mushroom-like (Fig. 16h View Figures 5–16 ) in ventral view. Aedeagus (Figs 15 View Figures 5–16 , 16 View Figures 5–16 ) with one short hooked process on each side (Figs 15i View Figures 5–16 , 16i View Figures 5–16 ) near apical 1/3 in lateral view, directing to cephalad.

Female genitalia. Anal tube (Figs 17 View Figures 17–27 , 20 View Figures 17–27 ) longer in middle line than the width (3.15: 1.00), the basal 1/3 part broader, inclined to ventral margin in lateral view (Fig. 21 View Figures 17–27 ). Anal style (Figs 20 View Figures 17–27 , 21 View Figures 17–27 ) long and stout, located in basal 1/6 of anal tube, surpassing the end of anal pore. Anterior connective lamina of gonapophyses VIII (Figs 18 View Figures 17–27 , 22 View Figures 17–27 ) extremely long saw-like, with a row of teeth in inner lateral margin (Fig. 22 View Figures 17–27 : tl). Posterior connective lamina of gonapophyses IX (Figs 23 View Figures 17–27 , 24 View Figures 17–27 ) relatively broad in dorsal view, with lateral field and sublateral field unobvious, membranous, median field membranous, with deep sunken (Fig. 23 View Figures 17–27 : mf), apical part of ventroposterior lobes with long flagelliform process (Fig. 23 View Figures 17–27 : fp). Gonoplacs (Fig. 25 View Figures 17–27 ) irregularly triangular, tapering, apical part membranous, thin tuber in latera view; fused dorsally to form a sheath surrounding the anterior connective lamina of gonapophyses VIII (Fig. 26 View Figures 17–27 ). Hind margin of sternite VII with distinctly triangular prominence in middle area in ventral view (Fig. 19 View Figures 17–27 ), inner margin with membranous process (Fig. 27 View Figures 17–27 ).

Distribution.

China (Hainan).

Etymology.

The species name is derived from a combination of the prefix “bi-” and Latin noun “punctata”, suggesting the paired dark spots of mesonotum.
