Pronotum with four symmetrical patches on posterolateral margin, mesonotum and scutellum yellow, except mesonotum anterolateral triangles dark ( Figs 22, 24 View FIGURES 13–24 ). Face yellowish, brownish below antennal ledge, or sordid beige ( Figs 23, 24 View FIGURES 13–24 ). Forewing yellowish, with two oblique brown bands across middle ( Figs 22, 24 View FIGURES 13–24 , 54 View FIGURES 37–65 ).

Ventral appendage of pygofer longer than in A. (D.) furca sp. nov. ( Figs 85 View FIGURES 85–90 , 91 View FIGURES 91–97 ). Paramere slender, subapical tooth elongate nearly equal to apical part in length ( Fig. 93 View FIGURES 91–97 ).

Type material. Holotype, ♂, Jinping National Natural Reserve , Yunnan Province, alt. 1670 m, 19 May 2015, coll. Bin Yan. Paratype, 4♂♂, same data as the holotype ; 6♂♂, Jinping National Natural Reserve , Yunnan Province, alt. 1670 m, 19 May 2015, light trap, coll. Bin Yan ; 1♂, Wenshan County, Yunnan Province, 23 Nov. 2016, light trap, coll. Yalin Yao.

Etymology. The species name is derived from the Latin word innota, meaning “not, without”, and refers to the reduced or absent ventral process of the aedeagus.

Remarks. The new species differs from all other known species of Agnesiella in having the crown without two dark round patches ( Fig. 22 View FIGURES 13–24 ) and the ventral process of the aedeagal shaft very small or absent ( Figs 96, 97 View FIGURES 91–97 ).
