Agnesiella (D.) galeata Wang & Huang sp. nov. ( Figs 37–40 View FIGURES 33–48 , 58 View FIGURES 49–60 , 127–133 View FIGURES 127–133 )
Measurement. Male, 3.20–3.40 mm (including wings).
Description. Body light yellow ( Figs 37, 38 View FIGURES 33–48 ). Face largely pale brown, genae with cream colored outer margins ( Fig. 40 View FIGURES 33–48 ). Vertex pale brown in the middle. Pronotum largely light brown, with a black patch near anterior margin medially, and a nearly rounded black patch at each posterolateral angle; triangles light brown, scutellum light yellow ( Fig. 39 View FIGURES 33–48 ). Forewing basal 2/3 off-white, 2 small black patches at both ends of brochosome area ( Fig. 58 View FIGURES 49–60 ).
Abdominal apodemes extending to apex of 5th abdominal sternite ( Fig. 127 View FIGURES 127–133 ). Male pygofer with a long fine setal group near posterior margin, another setal group from middle to basoventral angle, several small rigid setae along slightly protruded posterodorsal margin; a digitiform pygofer process on posterior margin, slightly sinuate basally ( Figs 128, 129 View FIGURES 127–133 ). Subgenital plate with distal part bearing some long fine setae and small rigid setae, with a distinct protrusion subapically ( Fig. 130 View FIGURES 127–133 ). Style with a very small subapical process ( Fig. 131 View FIGURES 127–133 ). Connective stem about as long as lateral arms, with a prominent central lobe ( Fig. 130 View FIGURES 127–133 ). Aedeagal shaft slender, distinctly bent at middle, gradually thickening towards slightly swollen apex, with a digitiform ventral process gradually curving towards apex subapically ( Figs 132, 133 View FIGURES 127–133 ).
Specimens examined. Holotype: ♂, CHINA, Yunnan Province, Gongshan Derung and Nu Autonomous County, Dulongjiang Town , 1430m, 14 Jun 2019, coll. Lü Lin. Paratype: 3♂ 2♀, same data as holotype .
Remarks. The new species is similar to A. (D.) decorta in the digitiform ventral process of the aedeagal shaft, but differs in the following characteristics: apex of pygofer process curved ventrally ( Figs 128, 129 View FIGURES 127–133 ); subapical process of style very small ( Fig. 131 View FIGURES 127–133 ); aedeagal shaft with ventral process gradually curving towards apex ( Fig. 132 View FIGURES 127–133 ).
Etymology. This specific epithet is derived from the Latin word “galea”, referring to the hood-shaped apical part of the aedeagal shaft ( Fig. 132 View FIGURES 127–133 ).
