Descriptive notes. Male ( Fig. 6A View FIGURE ). Aedeagus feebly swollen laterally near middle ( Fig. 5D, E View FIGURE 5 ); ventral processes of parameres abruptly thinned apically near bases, with apices widened and narrowly rounded, strongly bent to each other in ventral view ( Fig. 5D View FIGURE 5 ), widened and rounded at apices, bent ventrally in lateral view ( Fig. 5F View FIGURE 5 ); conjoint dorsal plate of parameres obviously longer than ventral processes, with apical margin arcuate and small-triangularly emarginate in middle, lateral margins diverging apically from middle, latero-apical angles widely rounded in dorsal view ( Fig. 5E View FIGURE 5 ), and bent ventrally in lateral view ( Fig. 5F View FIGURE 5 ); the emargination between conjoint dorsal plate and ventral process about half length of aedeagus ( Fig. 5F View FIGURE 5 ).
Female. Internal organ of reproductive system ( Fig. 7A View FIGURE 7 ): vagina stout and abruptly thinned at ventroapical portion into a very short and stout tube, where diverticulum and spermathecal duct arising separately; diverticulum very short and spiral, evenly thin along the whole length; spermathecal duct half shorter and thinner than apical tube of vagina; spermatheca provided with a spiral tube, progressively thinned apically and longer than diverticulum; accessory gland extremely long, almost three times longer than spermatheca.
Abdominal sternite VIII ( Fig. 8A View FIGURE 8 ) moderately narrowed posteriorly, widely triangular at latero-apical angles, and widely emarginate on both sides and feebly emarginate in middle of posterior margin, with the portions between lateral and middle emarginations acute at apices and almost horizonital with apices of latero-apical angles.
Distribution ( Fig. 38 View FIGURE 38 ). China (Sichuan).
