Type material. Holotype 3, CHINA: Yunnan, Lushui, Pianma, 9–10 May 2010, coll. Li Hu ( GUGC).

Remarks. This species is similar to Midoria hamulata sp. nov., 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, 21, 22, 23 View FIGURES 13 – 24 ).

Etymology. The species name is derived from the shape of the aedeagal shaft processes (hastate, hastatus).
