( Figs. 10–11 )

Description. Male. Body small sized, slender. Head broadly oval, fastigium of vertex about 2 times as broad as scape. Fore margin of pronotum slightly convex, hind margin straight. Tegmina rather exceeded beyond apex of hind femur; Rs arising from R vein nearly in the middle, bifucated; M vein simple; Cu1 vein with 3 branches; A vein with 3 branches, the last of them united at base. Wings slightly extending beyond tegmina. Hind femur with 8 inner spines and 6 outer spines on ventral surface; hind tibia on dorsal surface with 7 outer spines and 5 inter spines. Hind margin of male 10th abdominal tergite with 2 pairs of hook-like processes. Subgenital plate divided to base, apical part of lobes hairy and with apex pointed ( Fig. 10 ). Styli situated in the near base of subgenital plate, cylindrical.

Female. Hind margin of subgenital plate apex with deep and broad incision, lobes narrowly sharp ( Fig. 11 ). Ovipositor straight, almost as long as hind femur and with subacute apex.

Measurements. (in mm) Material. Holotype, ♂, Paratype, 1♀, China, Yunnan, Jinping, Mengla, Wendang, Alt. 850m, 2009. V.26, collected by Liu Xian-Wei et al.
