Type material.

Holotype, female (IEBR), “Card.065”, "[NE Vietnam:] Vinh Phuc, Tam Dao NP, 100 m, MT, 30.v.2008, P. H. Thai". Paratype: 1 male (RMNH), “Card.039”, "[CN Vietnam:] Nghe An, Con Cuong, Pu Mat NP, 22.iv.2006, P. Th. Nhi".

Diagnosis.

The new species is similar to Hartemita bruneiensis Dangerfield & Austin, but differs by having the occiput deeply excavate (weakly excavate in Hartemita bruneiensis ; Fig. 66); vein 3-SR joining vein SR1 at 100° (90° in Hartemita bruneiensis ); hind tibia yellow ventrally (dark brown ventrally; Fig. 67); hind claw with 3 teeth (4-7 teeth in Hartemita bruneiensis ) and scutellum rugose-punctate (punctate in Hartemita bruneiensis ).
