Type material.

Holotype: ♂, China: Yunnan Province, Fugong County (26°54'N, 98°52'E), 17-18 May 2010, Pei Zhang, Yan-Li Zheng and Yi Yan. Paratypes: 7♂♂6♀♀, same data as holotype.

Description.

Body length: male 4.9-6.2 mm (N = 8), female 6.0-6.8 mm (N = 6).

Coloration. General color dark brown (Fig. 1A-D View Figure 1 ). Eyes dark brown, ocelli yellow. Vertex dark brown. Face generally brown, margins yellow. Rostrum pale brown. Pronotum and mesonotum dark brown, carinae paler. Forewing semi-translucent, brown (sometimes blackish brown), stigma dark brown, apex of forewing with several small blackish brown spots, veins generally brown with discontinuous blackish brown markings. Hind tibiae pale brown and abdominal sternites blackish brown.

Head and thorax. Vertex (Fig. 1A, C View Figure 1 ) broad, 1.3 times wider than long; anterior margin arched convex; subapical transverse carina arc-shaped, connected with anterior border of vertex by two longitudinal small carinae; median carina only discernible at basal half; posterior margin nearly excavated at right angle. Frons (Fig. 1D View Figure 1 ) 1.6 times as wide as long, with median carina distinct and fork of median carina near apex. Pronotum (Fig. 1C View Figure 1 ) 1.1 times longer than vertex, posterior margin concaved in right angle. Mesonotum 1.1 times longer than pronotum and vertex combined. Forewing (Fig. 1E View Figure 1 ) 3.0 times longer than wide, with 10 apical and 5 subapical cells; fork Sc+RP basad of fork CuA1+CuA2; first crossvein r-m basad of fork MP; RP 3 branches, MP with 4 terminals: MP 1, MP2, MP3, and MP4, fork MP1+MP2 basad of fork MP3+MP4. Hind tibia with 5 lateral spines; chaetotaxy of hind tarsi: 7/7, second segment of hind tarsus without platellae.

Male genitalia. Pygofer (Fig. 1F, G View Figure 1 ) symmetrical, dorsal margin concave and U-shaped ventrally, widened towards apex and slightly convex in the middle; in lateral view, lateral lobes triangularly extended caudally. Medioventral process absent, replaced by two small projections. Anal segment (Fig. 1F, H, I View Figure 1 ) asymmetrical, in lateral view, dorsal margin almost straight, ventral margin convex in the middle, right lobe larger than left one and apical lobe extended ventrally; 2.2 times longer than wide in dorsal view; anal style finger-like, beyond anal segment. Gonostyli (Fig. 1F, G, J View Figure 1 ) symmetrical in ventral view; in inner lateral view, trapezoidal, apical margin transverse, base with a deep round excavation and a tusk-like tooth. Aedeagus (Fig. 1K-N View Figure 1 ) with total of four processes. Base of periandrium with a curved laminal process positioning slightly to right side of its ventral margin, apex acute, directed ventrocaudally. Endosoma broad, convoluted with two sinuations, a right lateral one (Fig. 1K View Figure 1 ) and a left lateral one (Fig. 1L View Figure 1 ). In the right lateral view, a large laminal structure with a ribbon-like process apically, directed left-ventrocephalically. In left lateral view, the base of endosoma with a spinose process, apex directed left-dorsocephalically; a spinose process arising from apical 1/3 of endosoma on the dorsal margin, apex directed right-caudally.

Female genitalia. Pregenital sternite (Fig. 2A View Figure 2 ) with caudal margin slightly recessed, twice wider than long. Tergite IX (Fig. 2A, C View Figure 2 ) moderately sclerotized, with a large nearly oval wax plate. Anal segment (Fig. 2B View Figure 2 ) nearly rectangular, 2.2 times longer than wide in dorsal view, anal style finger-like. Gonapophysis VIII (Fig. 2D View Figure 2 ) reduced, apex acute. Gonapophysis IX (Fig. 2E View Figure 2 ) extremely short, triangular. Gonoplac (Fig. 2F View Figure 2 ) strap-shaped. Posterior vagina as shown in Fig. 2G, H View Figure 2 . In ventral view, left side with a nearly triangular sclerite, which with a triangular process at the base; right side with a large sclerite bent towards the dorsal surface and a small semicircular sclerite near terminal. In dorsal view, basal area with a process and an oblong sclerite, which with a triangular pouch-like structure basally.

Distribution.

China (Yunnan) (Fig. 5 View Figure 5 ).

Etymology.

The species name is derived from Fugong County, Yunan Province, where the type locality is located.

Remarks.

Male genitalia of I. fugongensis sp. nov. is similar to I. kurseongensis (Distant, 1911), but differs in: (1) the laminal process on the ventral margin of periandrium acute apically (in I. kurseongensis , the laminal process in the same position expanded apically); (2) in the right lateral view, base of endosoma without process (the latter with three processes); (3) left side of endosoma with two spinose processes (in I. kurseongensis , left side of endosoma with a S-shaped process and a Y-shaped process).
