Crown ( Fig. 28 View FIGURES 28 – 37 ) brown yellow, with milky yellow symmetrical stripes at coronal suture and anterior margin. Eyes ( Fig. 28 View FIGURES 28 – 37 ) blackish brown. Pronotum ( Fig. 28 View FIGURES 28 – 37 ) milky yellow, with two black spots near anterior margin and posterior margin respectively; remaining patterns brown yellow, some parts with golden tint. Scutellum ( Fig. 28 View FIGURES 28 – 37 ) brown yellow; basal triangles grey, but median area dark, about triangular. Forewing ( Fig. 29 View FIGURES 28 – 37 ) narrow, with brown or nutbrown spots or stripes at apex; large orange red pattern around claval suture marked with short oblique dashes as in Fig. 29 View FIGURES 28 – 37 and with other black markings near brochosome field.
Abdominal apodemes ( Fig. 31 View FIGURES 28 – 37 ) strong, well developed, extending to posterior margin of 5th segment.
Male genitalia: Pygofer ventral appendage long and slender ( Fig. 32 View FIGURES 28 – 37 ). Pygofer lobe ( Fig. 32 View FIGURES 28 – 37 ) with numerous microtrichia and microsetae scattered on lateral surface. Subgenital plate ( Fig. 33 View FIGURES 28 – 37 ) slender, with single long macrosetae subbasally. Style ( Fig. 34 View FIGURES 28 – 37 ) with few fine setae on caudal part. Aedeagus ( Figs. 35, 36 View FIGURES 28 – 37 ) with paired apical processes nearly triangular; preatrium distinctly longer than dorsal apodeme; gonopore preapical on posterior surface.

Specimen examined. Holotype, 3, China, Guizhou Prov., Qianxi county, Bailidujuan, 15 Oct. 2007, coll. Qiongzhang Song and Yujian Li. Paratypes: 253, 24Ƥ, same data as holotype; 233, 2Ƥ, China, Guizhou Prov., Mayanghe Nature Reserve, at light, 03 Oct. 2007, coll. Yuehua Song; 63, China, Guizhou Prov., Mt.

Measurement. Body length males 3.1–3.2 mm, females 3.4–3.5 mm (including wing).
Remarks. The new species can be distinguished from other species of the genus by the unique paired apical processes of the aedeagus, which are approximately triangular.
Etymology. The specific name is derived from the Latin word “ rutila ”, which refers to the forewing with a prominent orange red pattern (marked with short oblique dashes as in Fig. 29 View FIGURES 28 – 37 ) around the claval suture.
