10. Aguriahana furcata sp. nov.

Figs 10 a–c, 67–75.

Description. Face and vertex yellow. In lateral view horizonal band on anterior margin of vertex extending to side of pronotum, scutum black. Color pattern of habitus, face and forewings as in Figs 410a–c. Dorsum and venter of abdomen and pygofer black. Subgenital plate of male yellowish with inner margin and termination blackish-brown. Vertex slightly extended anteriorly. Forewings with RP diverging from MP’ at midlength of MP’; hindwings with MP’’ situated in line with CuA’’.

Abdominal apodemes reaching base of 7th abdominal sternite ( Fig. 67 ).

Male genitalia. Male pygofer side bilobed; upper lobe narrow, slightly extended and with numerous tubercles; lower lobe round with short and rigid setae at hind margin ( Figs 68, 69 ). Subgenital plate with 3–4 macrosetae, 3 peg-like setae and one twisted apical central seta ( Figs 71, 75 ). Apical part of paramere short and hooked ( Fig.74 ). Aedeagus with one pair of long and sinuated basal processes exceeding apex of shaft; shaft with one thin terminally forked basal process ventrally and one subapical acute process dorsally ( Figs 72, 73 ).

Measurement. Male 3.45 mm long, including wings.

Notes. This species belongs to the stellulata group. It resembles A. picta in external and male genitalia, but differs from the latter as follows: 1) body more dark; 2) aedeagal shaft with one terminally forked basal process ( Fig. 73 ); 3) without subapical short process ventrally ( Fig.72 ).

Type material. Holotype, 3, CHINA. Hunan Province: Mt.Tianping, Sangzhi, altitude 1250 m, 13.viii.2001, coll. Qiang Sun, at lamp.

Etymology. The specific name is derived from the Latin word “ furcata ” which refers to the aedeagal shaft with one basal process furcata .
