( Figs. 9 View FIGURES 1–9 , 17 View FIGURES 10–17 , 21 View FIGURES 18–25 , 33 View FIGURES 26–33 )

Diagnosis. This species is readily differentiated from other Pseudopelmatops by its wing pattern, which includes a brownish-black costal band that is broad from the base of cell r 1 to the midlength of the marginal part of that cell, then narrow to the wing tip, a brownish-black band over crossvein R-M and connected with the costal band, and a small obscure ill-defined mark on the subapical section of vein R 4+5.

Description. Body length 13.5–16.0 mm; wing length 10.5–13.0 mm. The body usually predominantly dark brown to black and sub-shining.

Head ( Figs. 17 View FIGURES 10–17 , 21 View FIGURES 18–25 ): dark brown to black except the middle of frons with a very narrow yellow longitudinal stripe, the ventral 1/2 of face, parafacial and palpus yellow to yellow-brown. Palpus narrow, parallel-sided and densely covered with strong, black setulae. Chaetotaxy reduced: head with orbital, medial vertical and genal setae present; postocellar, lateral vertical, ocellar, and frontal setae absent. Antenna almost equal to face, with 1 st flagellomere about 1/4–1/3 as wide as long, and 1 st flagellomere dorsoapically slightly pointed; arista plumose, longest ray slightly shorter or about equal to width of 1 st flagellomere.

Thorax entirely dark brown to black except scutum with two slightly broad grayish-white microtrichose longitudinal stripes, halter yellow. Chaetotaxy reduced: only 1 notopleural, 1 postalar and 1 apical scutellar setae present.

Wing ( Fig. 33 View FIGURES 26–33 ). Largely hyaline with brownish-black costal band extending from cell c to the wing tip, the band broad to slightly beyond crossvein R-M, then strongly narrowed, cell r 2+3 mostly hyaline except for apical margin, but slightly gradually expanded to apex of vein R, a short brownish-black crossband covering crossvein R-M and connected with costal band, and a small obscure ill-defined mark on the subapical section of vein R 4+5. Pterostigma yellow-brown, narrow and long, 0.98 times as long as cell c. Vein R 4+5 bare.

4+5

Legs. Slender and long. Coxa, trochanter and the basal 2/3 of femora dark brown, other parts yellow brown.

Abdomen elongate with tergites 1–2 dark brown and other tergites yellow-brown; tergites 1–2 nearly parallel-sided and almost equal to the combined length of tergites 3 and 4.

Male terminalia not dissected.

Female. Unknown.

Distribution. China (Yunnan).
