Thagria paramultipars Fan & Li sp. nov.

(Figs. 164–190)

Description. Body length of male 8.5–8.8 mm, female 10.0 mm.

Body large, robust (Figs. 164, 176). Crown brown to dark, with one transverse ivory band medially; ocelli and eyes brown (Figs. 166, 178). Face with clypeus with three brown bands, anterior band narrowest, middle widest, distal longest crossing lora and genae; clypellus apex brown, remainder of face yellow (Figs. 167, 179). Pronotum suffused with light brown (male) or ivory yellow (female) nubs and traversed by three bands, from base to apex black, ivory yellow, brown (Figs. 166, 178). Mesonotum yellow to brown, with black spots near middle (Figs. 166, 178). Forewing brown to dark, with transparent ivory spots, venation black with orange spots (Figs. 164, 165, 176, 177).

Head with anterior margin rounded, crown broad, wider than eye width, produced distally about 1/4 distance beyond anterior margin of eyes, coronal suture evident, about 2/3 of median length, disk depressed (Figs. 166, 178). Face with clypeus long, lateral margins slightly convex; clypellus short, base broad, inflated (male) or slightly inflated (female), wider than clypeus at juncture of clypeal suture in male or as wide as in female, distally constricted, apex arced (Figs. 167, 179). Crown, pronotum and mesonotum midline ratio about 1:1.2:1.7 (Figs. 166, 178). Forewing long, apex rounded, appendix narrowed (Figs. 164, 165, 176, 177).

Male genitalia. Pygofer in lateral view with caudodorsal margin with pair of processes, inner lateral margin serrated in dorsal view (Figs. 168, 169). Segment X processes not reaching the end of pygofer lobe in lateral view (Fig. 168). Subgenital plate long and narrow, segmented subbasally, marginal setae fine long (Fig. 170). Dorsal connective broadly U-shaped, stem absent, rami close to ventral processes of segment X in dorsal view (Fig. 169). Aedeagus symmetrical, broad basally, tapered distally, extended nearly to middle of paraphysis in dorsal and lateral views (Figs. 171, 172); paraphysis asymmetrical, broad throughout, only end narrower, with fingerlike spine projecting basally, opposite margin serrated, bifurcated apically, one branch shorter than other in dorsal view (Figs. 171, 174). Style short, just reaching base of aedeagus, apex with a setalike spine in dorsal and lateral views (Figs. 171, 173).

Female genitalia. Ovipositor (Figs. 180–190) as in T. decussata Fan & Dai, sp. nov., but sternite VII anterior margin and caudal margin sunken medially, basal half expanded, apical half narrowed (Fig. 180).

Type material. Holotype: ♂, CHINA: Guangxi, Longzhou, Nonggang, 8 May 2012, coll. Li Hu (GUGC). Paratypes: 1 ♂, CHINA: Guangxi, Nanning, 31 May 1995, coll. Yang Maofa; 1 ♂ 1♀, same data as holotype, except coll. Li Hu; 1 ♂, same data as holotype, except coll. Yang Nannan (GUGC).

Etymology. The species is named for the similarity in general habitus to T. multipars (Walker, 1858) .

Remarks. This species is close to T. multipars (Walker, 1858), but can be distinguished by the following combination of features: paraphysis bifurcate apically (Fig. 171), but complete in T. multipars (Figs. 147, 150); paraphysis broad throughout, lateral margins serrated (Figs. 171, 174), but in T. multipars broad basally, tapered apically, without serration laterally (Figs. 147, 150).
