Material examined.
Holotype: ♂, China: Guizhou Province, Bijie , 6.VI.2021, coll. Jia Jiang and Ni Zhang. Paratypes: 18 ♂♂, 3 ♀♀, same data as holotype .
Diagnosis.
The new species can be distinguished from other species by the aedeagal shaft with only one thick finger-like process at base. Pygofer dorsal appendage not extended beyond hind margin of pygofer. Style strong; preapical lobe obvious. Subgenital plate wide and short with one hook-like process on apex.
Description.
Vertex yellowish (Fig. 6 View Figures 1–15 ). Pronotum mostly grayish black (Figs 6 View Figures 1–15 , 8 View Figures 1–15 ). Scutellum yellowish, transverse impression distinct (Fig. 6 View Figures 1–15 ). Face brownish yellow; anteclypeus brownish except lighter base (Fig. 9 View Figures 1–15 ). Forewing brownish, with large milky white or whitish patches.
Abdominal apodemes small, located in 3rd sternite (Fig. 31 View Figures 24–31 ).
Male genitalia. Pygofer dorsal appendage weakly expanded at base, not extended beyond hind margin of pygofer (Fig. 29 View Figures 24–31 ). Pygofer lobe broad, with fine setae scattered outer lateral surface (Fig. 28 View Figures 24–31 ). Subgenital plate wide and short, with three macrosetae on lateral surface, and one hook-like process on apex (Fig. 27 View Figures 24–31 ). Style strong; preapical lobe obvious (Fig. 24 View Figures 24–31 ). Aedeagal shaft as long as or little shorter than that of preatrium, with one finger-like process basally; dorsal apodeme small (Figs 25 View Figures 24–31 , 26 View Figures 24–31 ). Connective Y-shaped; arms and central lobe slender (Fig. 30 View Figures 24–31 ).
Body length (including wings). ♂, 3.1-3.2 mm, ♀, 3.0-3.2 mm.
Remarks.
The new species is similar to M. aurantiaca (Mitjaev, 1969), but can be distinguished by the aedeagal shaft with only one thick finger-like process at base; the style is stronger and the subgenital plate is shorter and wider.
Etymology.
The new species is named from the Latin word solitarius, referring to the aedeagal shaft with only one processes at the base.
