( Figs. 1 View FIGURE 1 A–E, 2A–G)

Description. Body length (including wings). Male: 4.6 mm.

Coloration. Crown dark-brown, yellowish adjacent to each eye; ocelli transparent; eyes grey with dark brown and yellowish stripe ( Fig. 1D View FIGURE 1 ). Pronotum yellowish with a few irregular dark-brown areas including depressed areas, callosities ochraceous; scutellum dark with marginal spot on either side of median impressed line yellowish ( Fig. 1D View FIGURE 1 ). Forewing basal half yellowish-brown, most veins marked with dark brown spotted with white or yel- lowish ( Fig. 1A View FIGURE 1 ). Upper part of face including antennal cavities black, anteclypeus black with median longitudinal stripe yellowish, rest yellowish ( Fig. 1E View FIGURE 1 ). Venter of thorax dark brown; legs yellowish with dark brown patches on femur and tibiae, tarsi brown ( Fig. 1C View FIGURE 1 ).

Morphology. Crown declivous in profile, anterior margin slightly concave medially in dorsal view; ocelli on crown, between eyes with their distance about 4.0 times than that of ocellus to adjacent eye ( Figs. 1B, D View FIGURE 1 ). Frontoclypeus slightly convex. Clypellus elongate, exceeding genal curve and apically narrowed. Labium long, slightly surpassing middle coxae ( Fig.1E View FIGURE 1 ). Pronotum slightly convex and anteriorly declivous. Scutellum about 0.5 times as long as pronotum ( Fig. 1D View FIGURE 1 ). Forewing with rounded apex; apical one-third of corium transparent with prominent raised venation; with five apical and three closed subapical cells. Macrosetal formula of hind femur apex 2+0+0.

Male genitalia. Pygofer with short macrosetae near posterior margin, dorsal margin declivous in posterior half, ventral margin rounded; caudal lobe of pygofer with rugose surface, tapering to end in lateral view; mesal area with five short setae in dorso-caudal view ( Figs. 2A, B, G View FIGURE 2 ). Valve fused to pygofer ( Fig. 2C View FIGURE 2 ). Subgenital plates nearly parallel-sided with rounded apex, ventrally covered in short setae, exceeding pygofer in lateral view ( Figs. 2A, C View FIGURE 2 ). Connective with median lobe present, arms short, stem platelike, anterior margin wider than posterior margin ( Fig. 2D View FIGURE 2 ). Style elongate, anterior part shorter than posterior part, with apex curved dorsolaterally and truncate ( Figs. 2B, D View FIGURE 2 ). Aedeagus with shaft tubular, curved dorsally; dorsal apodeme with a blind saclike dorsally directed process; gonopore apical, gonoduct prominent ( Figs. 2D, E View FIGURE 2 ).

Material examined. Holotype: ³, China, Tibet, Medog County, 23 July 2013, Wang Yang ( NWAFU). Para- type: 1³, same data as holotype.

Etymology. This species epithet refers to the yellowish spot on each side of scutellum just after the transverse depression.

Diagnosis. This species can be distinguished from other species of this genus by the body color, dorsal apodeme of aedeagus with a blind saclike dorsally directed process and the shaft without process.
