Diagnosis.
This species is similar to
Y. fascimaculata
sp. nov.
in the female genitalia, but can be distinguished by the Y-shaped lamella postvaginalis and the smooth ductus bursae (
Fig. 163
). In
Y. fascimaculata
sp. nov.
, the lamella postvaginalis is V-shaped and the ductus bursae is granulous on the posterior 1/3 (
Fig. 165
). The male genitalia of this species are characterized by having a stout phallus that is as long as the valva (
Fig. 113
).
Remarks.
This species is newly recorded for
China
, with the female genitalia described for the first time.
