Elongationa sp.

( Figs. 13–20 )

Description. Female. Body length (incl. forewing) 16.3 mm, head width 3.6 mm (incl. eyes), pronotum width 4 mm. Colour as in previous species but brown marking paler ( Figs. 13, 14 ).

Female with 1st and 2nd valvulae narrow, curved dorsally; 1st strigate apically and 2nd elevated medially with one large and three or four small dorsal subapical teeth ( Figs. 17, 18, 19, 20 ).

Material examined. 1 female, CHINA, Sichuan Prov., Mt. Emei , 800–1100m, 22 April 1957, Huang Keren ( IZCAS).

Remarks. We are uncertain if the specimen described represents the female of E. hyalina sp. nov. or is a different species. It has a longer head, paler brown marking and a shorter hyaline band on the forewing than in the male holotype of E. hyalina sp. nov.
