( Fig. 2 e–h, 10)

Description. Ground color yellow, eyes black. Basal triangles of mesonotum indistinct. Fore wing pale, apex slightly brownish.

FIGURE 10. Matsumurina qini Yang & Zhang sp. nov. a, abdominal apodemes; b, genital capsule; c, pygofer dorsal appendage; d, subgenital plate, style and the 9 th sternite, dorsal view; e, subgenital plate, lateral view; f, subapical angulate protrusion of subgenital plate; g, style, dorsal view; h, style, lateral view; i, aedeagus and connective, lateral view; j, aedeagus and connective, ventral view; k, apex of aedeagal shaft, dorsal view.

Male 2 S abdominal apodemes slightly surpassing hind margin of third sternite (Fig. 10 a).

Pygofer side (Fig. 10 b) short, denticulate only at hind margin, without setae; dorsal appendage (Fig. 10 c) similar to that of M. longa sp. n., but longer, exceeding hind margin of lobe. Ligament (Fig. 10 b) relatively narrow, fused with pygofer dorsal appendage. Subgenital plate (Figs 10 b, e, f) surpassing hind margin of pygofer side, rounded apically, constriction short, about 2 / 3 distance from base; with 3-4 macrosetae near lateral margin and row of microsetae on distal disc, marginal microsetae from near base to apex except for the portion at constriction. Style (Figs 10g, h) sinuated apically, curved dorsad and mesad, apical part relatively long, preapical lobe distinct.

Connective (Figs 10 i, j) with lateral arms relatively long. Aedeagal shaft (Figs 10 i –k) tubular, expanded medially, with small tooth at tip, apical processes symmetric, directed ventrad then caudad; branch of upper atrial appendage short, lamellate; ventral process broadened basally and narrowing towards apex, much longer than shaft, pointed apically.

Measurement. Male length 4.30 & 4.60 mm, female length 4.38 mm.

Material examined. Holotype: ♂, CHINA, Yunnan Prov., Mengyuan, 750m, 17. xii. 1999, coll. Qin Daozheng. Paratypes: 1 ♀, same data as the holotype; 1 ♂, THAILAND, Petchaburi, Kaeng Krachan NP Panernthung/km30, 12° 49.598 'N, 99 ° 21.827 'E, Malaise trap, 24-31. x. 2008, coll. Sirichai.

Deposition. Holotype and female paratype are deposited in Entomological Museum, NWAFU, Yangling, China; male paratype in QSBG, Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Diagnosis. Similar to M. abbreviata sp. nov., but pygofer dorsal appendage directed ventrad then caudad, apical part of style longer and slimmer and ventral process longer than shaft.

Etymology. This new specific is named for the collector of the holotype, Dr. Qin Daozheng.
