New material. 1 male, China, Taiwan, Pingdong, Mt. Dahanshan, 1500 –1600 m, sweep-net, 7.VI.2011, Xiao-Yan Liu [SM01111].

Diagnosis. The species is distinguished by bare M and Cu wing veins; a submedially located and long dorsal lobe which is longer and wider than the apex of the gonostylus; and a tegmen slightly longer than wide.

Distribution. China ( Taiwan, Fig. 24 ), Indonesia (Sulawesi).
