Etymology.
The specific epithet refers to the type locality, Qinling Mountains.
Diagnosis.
The new species resembles C. emarginata (Cheng, 1949) in appearance, but can be readily distinguished from the latter by the following characters: 1) wing markings greatly reduced with a faint pterostigmal band (cf. with conspicuous pterostigmal band and apical band); 2) hypovalve longer, reaching the apex of the gonocoxite (cf. shorter, not reaching apex of gonocoxite); 3) paramere shorter, reaching the middle of the gonostylus (cf. longer, reaching apex of gonostylus); 4) gonostylus with an extremely developed basal process (cf. poorly developed).
Description of male
(Fig. 2A View Figure 2 ). Head (Fig. 2C, D View Figure 2 ). Frons, vertex and occiput brownish black. Rostrum brownish frontally, sparsely covered with short black setae. Maxillary and labial palpi brownish and darkening towards apex. Antennae black and filiform with 38-42 flagellomeres.
Thorax (Fig. 2A, D View Figure 2 ). Pronotum blackish brown, with 8-12 short setae along its anterior margin. Meso- and metanotum black (Fig. 2D View Figure 2 ). Pleura light grayish yellow. Legs grayish yellow, with distal tarsomere blackish. Forewing length 13.6-14.4 mm, width 3.4-3.7 mm. Wing membrane hyaline and almost without marking, only with significantly degenerated brown pterostigmal band (Fig. 2A View Figure 2 ). Hindwing length 12.5-13.6 mm, width 3.2-3.5 mm. Hindwing similar to forewing in markings and patterns.
Abdomen (Figs 2E View Figure 2 , 4A View Figure 4 ). T2-T5 blackish, pleura ivory. Notal organ of T3 very short, not prominent. Postnotal organ of T4 small, hook-shaped and projecting forward. A6 uniformly brownish black, with a brown finger-like anal horn on posterior margin of tergite. A7-A8 elongate and yellowish brown, slightly constricted at base, gradually wider toward apices. A7 with a narrow groove at base.
Male genitalia (Fig. 3A, B View Figure 3 ). Genital bulb yellowish and long oval. Epandrium long and broad, with a nearly trapezoidal emargination distally. Paired hypovalves slender, reaching apex of gonocoxite, bearing a column of long bristles along inner margin. Gonocoxite with a small concave area on apical inner margin, bearing two small protuberances on ventral submedian margin. Gonostylus medially curved, with an indistinct median tooth and an extremely developed basal process on inner margin, and bearing a bundle of short setae dorsally on basal process (Fig. 3C View Figure 3 ). Parameres extending well beyond base of gonostylus (Fig. 3A View Figure 3 ), curved distally and pointed apically, bearing a row of dense spines along inner margin (Fig. 3G View Figure 3 ). Aedeagus sclerotized; dorsal valves of aedeagus long, curved ventrally, with distal part pediform; ventral valves short, membranous; lateral process not prominent (Fig. 3D, F View Figure 3 ).
Description of female.
Similar to the male in wing markings (Figs 2B View Figure 2 , 4B View Figure 4 ). Forewing length 14.3-15.4 mm, width 3.5-3.9 mm; hindwing length 13.8-15.0 mm, width 3.3-3.7 mm, similar to forewings (Fig. 2B View Figure 2 ).
Female genitalia (Fig. 3E, H, I View Figure 3 ). Subgenital plate ligulate, not emarginate terminally, bearing long setae on distal portion (Fig. 3E View Figure 3 ). Medigynium sclerotized, main plate twice as long as wide, intensely constricted medially. Paired posterior arms narrowing apically, forming a broad U-shaped emargination (Fig. 3H, I View Figure 3 ). Ventral basal plates translucent, covering two-thirds of the main plate (Fig. 3H View Figure 3 ). Paired dorsal basal plates reniform and membranous (Fig. 3I View Figure 3 ). Anterior end of axis bifurcated, extending beyond main plate for half its length (Fig. 3H, I View Figure 3 ).
Distribution.
China (Qingling, Shaanxi Province).
Habitat.
In the type locality, Taibaishan Nature Reserve, all specimens were captured on the southern slope of the Taibai Mountain, with an elevation of 2100 m. The species mainly inhabits dense herbaceous and shrubby vegetation under evergreen broad-leaved forests (Fig. 4C View Figure 4 ).
