Laciniata lijianga sp. nov.

( Figs 1 –13)

Description. Body light brown-yellow. Vertex ( Figs 1, 2 ) with light pink spot at apex, two ivory-white stripes around light pink apical spot semi-arclike. Pronotum ( Figs 1, 2 ) with median and posterior margin dark. Face ( Figs. 3, 4 ) with frontoclypeus long and narrow; anteclypeus broad, nearly pentagonal. Forewing ( Fig. 5 ) light brown-yellow, apical part little dark.

Male abdominal apodemes ( Fig. 7 ) extended to hind margin of fourth sternite.

Pygofer side ( Fig. 8 ) broad, with numerous microsetae and microtrichia and single small macroseta along hind margin subapically. Subgenital plate ( Fig. 9 ) with 4 submarginal macrosetae, row of short marginal microsetae from subbase to apex and some microsetae scattered on distal disc. Style ( Fig. 10 ) with subapex extremely elongated, whole margin of apex and inner margin of subapex serrated, not smooth. Preapical lobe small but distinct, with four sensory pits near preapical lobe. Aedeagal shaft ( Figs 11, 12 ) expanded in lateral view, narrow and straight in ventral view, longer than length of dorsal apodeme and preatrium respectively. Ventral and apical margins of shaft serrated. Unpaired process branched near center, arising from subapically, directed ventrad. Gonopore apical on ventral surface. Connective (Fig. 13) with lateral arms and stem well developed, but central lobe indistinct.

Measurement. Male length 3.0–3.2 mm, female length 3.1–3.2 mm.
