Description. Male: length: 1.41–1.46 mm; body broadly ovate; COLORATION:general coloration light brown; fuscous patch covering less than 1/2 of wing membrane; Sc+C distinctly lighter than remainder of hemelytron ( Fig. 3). SURFACE AND VESTITURE:as in subgeneric description. STRUCTURE:HEAD: slightly concave in ventral view ( Fig. 3); eyes wider than synthlipsis. THORAX: as in subgeneric description; hemelytron as in subgeneric description; M2 vein distinctly curving anteriorly toward wing margin, anterior membranal cell wedge-shaped. ABDOMEN: as in subgeneric description; stVI without process on posterior margin; subgenital plate weakly asymmetrical; process of subgenital plate short and thumb-shaped ( Fig. 5L); tVII rectangular; tVIII weakly trapezoidal and sclerotized; length of tVIII about 1/2 length of tVII. GENITALIA: py as in subgeneric description; rp as in subgeneric description with a long, narrow stem and blunt tip and a medial dorsal flap; lp as in subgeneric description, with two visible triangular dorsal processes; rca narrow and thin, mostly obscured by vesica; lca with three finger-like processes ( Fig. 5L); vesica with a thick base, and uniformly thin and tubular apex, almost forming two coils; anophore as in subgeneric description, with a short blunt process on dorsal wall ( Fig. 5L). Female: length 1.44–1.46 mm; general habitus as in male.
