Leucophenga serrateifoliacea Huang & Chen , sp. nov.

( Figs 3 View FIGURE 3 G, 7C, 7D, 9I, 13C, 13D, 30)

Diagnosis. This species is very similar to L. rectifoliacea sp. nov. in the patterns of wing ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 G) and abdominal tergites ( Fig. 9 View FIGURE 9 I), but can be distinguished from the latter by having the aedeagus thick, curved ventrad and with minute, serrated processes submedially ( Fig. 30 View FIGURE 30 D).

Description. Ocellar triangle dark brown, with ca. 3–7 setae above ocellar setae. Frons brown. Pedicel yellow; first flagellomere yellowish brown. Clypeus brownish yellow. Mesonotum nearly yellowish brown, slightly brown before scutellum ( Fig. 7 View FIGURE 7 C). Postpronotal lobe yellow. Acrostichal setulae in ca. 14 irregular rows ( Fig. 7 View FIGURE 7 C). Scutellum brown medially, dark brown laterally, pale at tip ( Fig. 7 View FIGURE 7 C). Pleura with a indistinctive, brown longitudinal stripe above ( Fig. 7 View FIGURE 7 D). Katepisternum and meron yellowish ( Fig. 7 View FIGURE 7 D). Wing ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 G): Costal vein between R2+3 and R4+5 distally with ca. 7–8 peg-like spinules on ventral surface. Abdominal tergites brown to dark brown ( Fig. 9 View FIGURE 9 I), with yellow margins on second to fifth; second yellow medially; third to fifth each with 2 pairs of yellow patches submedially on anterior margins; sixth with a pair of yellow patches submedially. Male terminalia: Epandrium with ca. 15 setae near posterior margin and ventral corner per side ( Fig. 30 View FIGURE 30 A). Hypandrium with 1 sensillum ( Fig. 30 View FIGURE 30 B). Paramere basally narrow, distally broadened, with ca. 4 sensilla and pubescence ( Fig. 30 View FIGURE 30 C). Aedeagus almost reticulated completely ( Fig. 30 View FIGURE 30 D).
