Type material.

Holotype, female (IEBR), “Card.001”, "[NE Vietnam:] Phu Tho, Xuan Son NP, forest, 10.v.2005, P. Th. Nhi." Paratypes: 1 female (RMNH), “Card.002”, data as holotype; 1 female (IEBR), “Card.010”, "[CN Vietnam:] Ha Tinh, Huong Son, Son Hong, 23.iv.2004, Tr. X. Lam".

Diagnosis.

The new species is similar to Hartemita muirii (Fullaway), but differs by having the face rugose-punctate (punctate in Hartemita muirii ; Fig. 4), temples bulging (subparallel-sided in Hartemita muirii ; Fig. 7), hind basitarsus largely yellow (largely blackish in Hartemita muirii ; Fig. 5) and the hind claw with 5 teeth (8 teeth in Hartemita muirii ; Fig. 8).

Length of hind wing 4.6 times its width; vein M+CU 0.3 times as long as vein 1-M.

Legs. Length of hind femur 4.25 times its median width; hind basitarsus broadly laminate, slightly produced apically and 2.1 times as long as wide (Fig. 28); width of hind basitarsus 1.4 times apical width of hind tibia; second-fifth hind tarsal segments 0.6 times as long as hind basitarsus (Fig. 28); inner hind tibial spur 0.6 times as long as hind basitarsus; hind claw with 5 teeth (Fig. 27).
