Description. Head, pronotum and scutellum brown, front of pronotum and area of crown adjacent to eyes yellow brown. Median length of vertex about as long as 4/5 of half width between eyes, shorter than scutellum ( Fig. 31 View FIGURES 25 – 36. 25 ). Face black ( Fig. 34 View FIGURES 25 – 36. 25 ).

Male genitalia: Paramere long, anterior portion about equal to caudal portion, caudal portion somewhat robust, apex strongly recurved medioventrally, with pyramidal process and some macrosetae preapically ( Figs 13, 14 View FIGURES 13 – 24 ). Connective T-shaped with dorsomedial keel ( Figs 13, 14 View FIGURES 13 – 24 ). Aedeagus shaft compressed, with two processes arising from each side of posterior margin basally, each process with spine projecting basolaterad ( Figs 13, 14 View FIGURES 13 – 24 ). Pygofer side ovoid, with long hooked posterior process from ventral margin ( Fig. 15 View FIGURES 13 – 24 ).

Other characteristics are as shown in Figs 13–16 View FIGURES 13 – 24 , 31, 34 View FIGURES 25 – 36. 25 .

Measurement. Length (including tegmen): 3, 5.9–6.0 mm.

Hosts. Unknown.

Type material. Holotype 3, CHINA: Yunnan, Fugong, 18 May 2010, coll. Li Hu. Paratype: 13, CHINA: Yunnan, Fugong, 18 May 2010, coll. Li Hu ( GUGC).

Remarks. This species is similar to Midoria funebris (Jacobi) , but can be distinguished by the shape of the male pygofer side, the shape of the paramere and the shape of the aedeagal ventrosubapical processes ( Figs 13, 14, 15 View FIGURES 13 – 24 ).

Etymology. The species name is derived from the shape of the male pygofer processes (hamate, hamatus).
