Treatment

Leucophenga villosa View in CoL sp. nov.

( Figs 4 View FIGURE 4 C, 9I, 9J, 12G, 17A, 17B, 38)

Diagnosis. This species is similar to L. pinguifoliacea sp. nov. in the mesonotum and pleura patterns ( Fig. 9 View FIGURE 9 I, J), but can be distinguished from the latter by having the wing R2+3 vien with broad, brown band distally and R4+5 vien with brown patch apically ( Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 C); the aedeagus mostly pubescent, with fin-shaped process dorstally ( Fig. 38 View FIGURE 38 D).

Description. Ocellar triangle dark brown, with 3–6 setae above ocellar setae. Frons yellowish brown to brown. Pedicel yellowish brown; first flagellomere yellow. Clypeus brownish medially, brown laterally. Palpus brownish yellow. Mesonotum brownish yellow, with 4 brown longitudinal stripes submedially and sublaterally, brown before scutellum ( Fig. 9 View FIGURE 9 I). Postprssotal lobe yellow ( Fig. 9 View FIGURE 9 J). Acrostichal setulae in 12–14 irregular rows ( Fig. 9 View FIGURE 9 I). Scutellum dark brown, pale at tip ( Fig. 9 View FIGURE 9 I). Pleura with an intermittent, dark brown, longitudinal stripe above ( Fig. 9 View FIGURE 9 J). Katepisternum and mesopleuron mostly yellow, each with dark brown patches ( Fig. 9 View FIGURE 9 J). Wing ( Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 C): Costal vein between R2+3 and R4+5 distally with 5–9 peg-like spinules on ventral surface. Halter dark brown apically ( Fig. 9 View FIGURE 9 I). Mid and hindlegs brown on knees. Abdominal tergites black ( Fig. 12 View FIGURE 12 G), with yellow patches. Male terminalia: Epandrium mostly pubescent, with 27 setae near posterior margin and ventral corner per side ( Fig. 38 View FIGURE 38 A). Paramere slightly acute apically, with 5 sensilla and sparse pubescence submedially ( Fig. 38 View FIGURE 38 C).

Type specimens. Holotype ♂ ( SCAU, No. 123215), CHINA: Wuliangshan, Jingdong, Yunnan, 1800m, 4.viii.2006, ex tree trunk, T Li. Paratypes: CHINA: 4♀ ( SCAU, Nos 123216–19), same data as holotype.

Distribution. China (Yunnan).

Etymology. From the Latin word “ villosus ” (= hirsute), referring to the aedeagus mostly pubescent.
