Prosciara duplicidens Vilkamaa & Hippa, 1996

Vilkamaa & Hippa 1996: 27.

New material. 3 males, China, Yunnan province, Tengchong, Jietou, Shaba, Mt. Tiantaishan, 1879 m, sweep-net, 25°24.115ʹN, 98°42.615ʹE, 12.V.2009, Su-Jiong Zhang [SM00853b, SM00863, SM00860]; 2 males, China, Guizhou province, Libo, Maolan, Yaozhai, sweep-net, 29.V.2011, Yan Li [SM01116, SM01114].

Diagnosis. The species is distinguished by setose M and Cu1 on wings; four megasetae in two pairs on a submedially located dorsal lobe on the gonostylus; and a long and narrow intercoxal lobe on the hypopygium.

Distribution. China (Yunnan, Guizhou, Fig. 24 ), Burma (Kambaiti).

Remarks. This species was first recorded in Kambaiti, Burma (Vilkamaa & Hippa 1996) and is new to China (Yunnan and Guizhou province). The Chinese specimens from Guizhou are nearly the same as the type specimen. However, the specimens from Yunnan show some slight differences. The type specimen has two setae on the basal segment of the palpus and a setose stM, while the specimens from Yunnan have 3–4 setae on the basal segment of the palpus, a bare stM and a slightly wider intercoxal lobe on the hypopygium.
