Diagnosis. Antennomere XI with disc-like protuberance, slightly prominent. Head lacking median vertexal carina. Pronotum relatively smooth. Elytral subhumeral sulci absent. Profemora simple, protrochanters and protibiae lacking spur or spine, mesotibiae lacking denticle. Apical lamina of abdominal sternite VII stout, widest near middle, apical margin obliquely narrowed. Aedeagus with right paramere curved mesally, internal sac bearing several sclerotized spines, lacking hairy sclerite.
Description. Male ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 A). Length 1.95–2.08 mm. Head longer than wide, HL 0.44–0.46 mm, HW 0.43– 0.45 mm, lacking median vertexal carina; lateral portions of frons sparsely punctate; each eye composed of about 32 facets. Antennomere XI ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 B–C) with disc-like protuberance, slightly prominent, diameter of protuberance about one-ninth of segmental length. Pronotum wider than long, PL 0.40–0.41 mm, PW 0.50–0.53 mm, relatively smooth. Profemora simple, protrochanters and protibiae lacking spur or spine, mesotibiae lacking denticle. Elytra wider than long, EL 0.68–0.73 mm, EW 0.76–0.82 mm, smooth; subhumeral sulci absent; mesotibiae lacking denticle. Abdomen wider than long, AL 0.44–0.48 mm, AW 0.75–0.78 mm; abdominal tergite IV (first visible tergite) with discal carinae extending to three-fifths of tergal length; abdominal sternite VII modified ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 D), with apical lamina stout, widest near middle, apical margin obliquely narrowed. Length of aedeagus ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 E) including parameres 0.31 mm, with right paramere curved mesally, internal sac bearing many sclerotized spines, lacking hairy sclerite.
Female. Similar to male; antennomere XI unmodified. Each eye composed of about 20 facets. Measurements: BL 1.80–1.91 mm, HL 0.40–0.43 mm, HW 0.39–0.40 mm, PL 0.38–0.40 mm, PW 0.48–0.50 mm, EL 0.65–0.67 mm, EW 0.75–0.80 mm, AL 0.38–0.41 mm, AW 0.73–0.75 mm.
Distribution. Eastern China: Zhejiang and Anhui.
Etymology. The specific epithet ‘ anfractus ’ means ‘curved, bent’, referring to the shape of the apical lamina of sternite VII.
Remarks. Populations from the Longwang Shan, Qingliangfeng and Yaoluoping exhibit only slight geographic variation. Right paramere of aedeagus of the population from Longwang Shan ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 E) is more straight than the other two populations ( Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 C–D). Form of the sternite VII ( Figs 3 View FIGURE 3 D, 4A–B) found in all populations are almost the same.
