Agnesiella (Draberiella) latusa View in CoL sp. nov.

( Figs 17–24 View FIGURES 17 – 32 , 49–57 View FIGURES 49 – 57 )

Descriptions. Male. Body mostly pale brown ( Fig. 17 View FIGURES 17 – 32 ). Crown sordid yellow-brown with two black spots near eyes, eyes pale yellow to dark brown ( Figs 17, 19 View FIGURES 17 – 32 ). Face sordid beige; seven patches on pronotum (one on anteromedian margin, two pairs anterolaterally, larger pair posterlaterally); scutum and scutellum yellowish, somewhat reddish on margin ( Fig. 19 View FIGURES 17 – 32 ). Clavus and corium on fore wing with brown patches, brochosome field hyaline and with two black patches on both ends ( Figs 18 View FIGURES 17 – 32 , 50 View FIGURES 49 – 57 ). Hind wing colorless and subhyaline ( Fig. 51 View FIGURES 49 – 57 ).

Length of crown distinctly less than interocular width, width of crown approximately equal to width of pronotum ( Figs 17, 19 View FIGURES 17 – 32 ).

Female. Body general color golden yellowish; middle of pronotum, scutum and scutellum with red patches; clavus of fore wing with dark brownish; face with bright beige ( Figs 21–24 View FIGURES 17 – 32 ).

Abdominal apodemes reaching middle of 6th abdominal sternite ( Fig. 53 View FIGURES 49 – 57 ).

Male genital capsule in lateral view square, pygofer side with two bands of setae widely separated ( Fig. 49 View FIGURES 49 – 57 ). Paramere slender, subapical with a smaller tooth, row of setae on out margin ( Fig. 55 View FIGURES 49 – 57 ). Connective Y-shaped with stem as long as arms ( Fig. 52 View FIGURES 49 – 57 ). Aedeagus much broader in posterior view, with large broad-based tooth and very much broad long ventral lamella in lateral view ( Figs 56, 57 View FIGURES 49 – 57 ).

Material examined. Holotype, ♂, Xishan, Kunming , Yunnan Province, 14 October 2010, Coll. Maofa Yang . Paratypes, 11♂♂, 1♀, same data as holotype .

Etymology. The species name refers to the broad long ventral lamella of the aedeagus in lateral view.

Remarks. This species very similar morphologically to A. (Draberiella) jammuensis Sharma & Malhotra, 1981 but differs in the shape of the pygofer side and aedeagus: 1) pygofer appendage straighter; 2) proximal band of setae on pygofer farther from distal band, reduced to a group of stout setae and situated close to the cephaloventral angle of the pygofer; 3) aedeagus with very broad long ventral lamella in lateral view, terminated in large broad-based tooth, and in posterior view much broader.
