Measurements (in mm; n= 3♂♂). Body length: ♂ 21.5–30.0; fore wing length: ♂ 33.2–37.9; fore wing width: ♂ 9.7–11.0; width of head including eyes: ♂ 8.2–9.4; pronotum width (including pronotal collar): ♂ 7.9–9.5; me- sonotum width: ♂ 6.7–7.5.

Description of male.

Head ( Fig. 2A, B ). Head slightly wider than base of mesonotum, olivaceous-tawny. Compound eyes ochroleucus, ocelli red. Postclypeus fairly prominent, olivaceous-tawny with apical black. The middle of the anteclypeus ochraceous, lateral margin of black. Rostrum reaching to posterior coxae, yellow, with apex fuscous.

Thorax ( Fig. 2A, B ). Pronotum slightly longer than head, generally olivaceous-tawny with the following black markings: pair of central longitudinal fasciae; pair of longitudinal fasciae between median parts of paramedian oblique fissures and posterior ends of lateral oblique fissures; pair of oblique fasciae along lateral fissures and lateral margins of pronotum disk black. Pronotal collar generally olivaceous-tawny, with two pairs of fuscous fasciae laterally, lateral margins with black fasciae and small teeth. Mesonotum fundamentally olivaceous-tawny with the following black markings: a medial longitudinal fascia posteriorly dilated; pair of broad, straight fasciae along each parapsidal suture; pair of inverted triangle pattern next to the straight fasciae and pair of wide fasciae on scutal depressions. Cruciform elevation olivaceous tawny with black markings on distal anterior arm. Opercula olivaceous, triangular, pointed extending to posterior edge of sternite II.

Legs ( Fig. 2B ). Mostly olivaceous with brown markings. Fore femora with primary spine, secondary spine and subapical spine, all of them sharp.

Wings ( Fig. 2A ). Hyaline, fore wing with fuscous spots at bases of second and third apical cells. Hind wing has no markings.

Abdomen ( Fig. 2A, B ). Fairly olivaceous, turbination, longer than distance from head to cruciform elevation. Tergite 2–4 with black markings on central margin and tergites 5–8 with black markings on anterior margins. The lateral and posterior margin of the last few sections are blackened. Timbal covers large, olivaceous.

Male genitalia ( Fig. 2C, D ). Pygofer undeveloped with black apex in ventral view. Anal styles light brown and uncus fuscous. Basal lobes of pygofer broad and curved inward. Lateral uncal lobes fuscous, curved anteriorly, with acute apex distally.

Distribution. China (Yunnan), Bangladesh, India, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam.

Remarks. This species is similar to H. lueta , but it can be distinguished from the latter by its shorter opercula and the shape of uncal lobes of males. This species once was the type species of genus Aola , but Lee (2008) synonymized Aola with Haphsa and transferred this species to Haphsa to become H. bindusara .
