Agalope jianqingi View in CoL S.-Y. Huang sp. n.
( Figs 29 View FIGURES 21–30 , 53, 55 View FIGURES 51–56 )
Type material. Holotype: male, 14.V.2009, Pianma Town , Lushui City, Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, P. R. China, Jian-qing Zhu leg., slide PMAG1 View Materials ( CHSY, will be subsequently deposited in ZFMK).
Diagnosis. Length of forewing 19. 3 mm. Agalope jianqingi sp. n. is reminiscent of A. primularis Butler, 1875 ( Figs 30 View FIGURES 21–30 , 54, 56 View FIGURES 51–56 ) from Eastern Nepal and Northeastern India for sharing a similar 8 th tergite, which bears two narrow and slender processes, whereas in other congeners these processes are thick and stout or absent ( Owada 1992; Horie 1993; Owada & Horie 2000), but it can be immediately distinguished from A. primularis by the combination of the following characters: 1) male forewing ground color is creamy white instead of yellow in A. primularis ; 2) posterior tegumenal projection is much broader and longer; 3) notch between the lobes of juxta is wider and deeper; 4) valva is more slender, with the distal part longer and 5) aedeagus shorter and broader.
Distribution. Known from Pianma Town ( Fig. 62 View FIGURES 62–67 ) located at the border of China and Myanmar in Western Yunnan, P. R. China.
Etymology. The specific epithet jianqingi is dedicated to the Chinese entomologist Mr. Jian-qing Zhu, a friend of the first author and an expert in the taxonomy of Hesperiidae .
