Redescription.

Body length from apex of head to tip of forewings: ♂ 8.4-9.5 mm, ♀ 9.4-10.3 mm; head length from apex of cephalic process to base of eyes: ♂ 0.7-0.8 mm, ♀ 0.8-0.9 mm; head width including eyes: ♂ 1.3-1.4 mm, ♀ 1.4-1.5 mm; forewing length: ♂ 7.0-7.7 mm, ♀ 8.1-8.6 mm.

Coloration. Sexual dimorphism in general color (Fig. 1 View Figure 1 ). Females distinctly paler on body than males (Fig. 2 View Figure 2 ). General color pale green and red on head and thorax, and dark brown on body. Head excluding eyes, pronotum and mesonotum mostly pale green to yellowish green, broad stripes along median carinae of vertex, frons, clypeus, pronotum and mesonotum, lateral margins of frons, lateral areas of pronotum and mesonotum behind eyes red, clypeus and apical margins of paranotal lobes dark brown to black. Compound eyes red to fuscous with posterior margin pale green, ocelli purplish red. Forewings, in males (Fig. 3D View Figure 3 ), with central area of basal two-thirds and apical third dark brown to black, clavus, apices of costal area, postcostal cell, veins C1 and C2 yellowish green; in females (Fig. 3F View Figure 3 ), much paler than in males, mostly yellowish green, central area of basal two-thirds and Medial area dark brown to black. Thorax and abdomen mostly black in males (Fig. 2C View Figure 2 ); in females (Fig. 2D View Figure 2 ), much paler than in males, mostly yellowish brown.

Structure. Vertex (Fig. 3A View Figure 3 ) wider than length, with ratio of length at midline to width between eyes 0.5:1. Frons with ratio of length at midline to maximum width 1.6:1 (Fig. 3C View Figure 3 ). Forewings (Fig. 3D, F View Figure 3 ) almost flat, ratio of length to width about 2.9-3.2:1. Hindwings (Fig. 3E, G View Figure 3 ) with ratio of length to width about 1.9-2.0:1.

Male genitalia. Pygofer, in lateral view (Figs 4A View Figure 4 , 4B View Figure 4 ), with posterior margin slightly sinuate, more or less convex medially, anterior margin produced in a pair of broad and large sclerotised processes ventrolaterally; in ventral view (Fig. 4D View Figure 4 ), far longer than in dorsal view (Fig. 4C View Figure 4 ), with ratio of ventral to dorsal width about 4.5:1. Gonostyles (Fig. 4A, B, D View Figure 4 ) elongate, in ventral view (Fig. 4D View Figure 4 ), inner area along ventrolateral carina less sclerotised and filmy, dorso-basal process directed dorsolaterad; in lateral view (Fig. 4A, B View Figure 4 ), ventrolateral carina strongly ridged from base to apex. Aedeagus (Fig. 4E-H View Figure 4 ) large and elongate, as long as gonostyles; in right lateral view (Fig. 4F View Figure 4 ), right apical process directed dorsad and curved laterocaudad; in left lateral view (Fig. 4G View Figure 4 ), left process large and broad, base narrow and twisted, remaining cultrate, directed laterocaudad. Segment X (Fig. 4C View Figure 4 ) slender and elongate, anal style relatively small, not reaching to apex.

Female genitalia (Figs 5A-I View Figure 5 ) as in generic description.

Remarks.

Catullioides rubrolineata is newly recorded from Vietnam and Laos. Our specimens are distinctly larger than those recorded from Taiwan, China by Yang et al. (1989). Their data showed the body length of C. rubrolineata from Nantou, Taiwan as 5.27 ± 0.11 mm in males and 5.76 ± 0.33 mm in females ( Yang et al. 1989). The type specimens of C. rubrolineata from Indonesia (6.5-8.0 mm) are also a little shorter than the specimens we examined ( Bierman 1910). Unfortunately, we did not examine the syntypes of Bierman (1910) and the specimens of Yang et al. (1989), and identified this species based on our critical review of the literature.
