Description.
Body color (Figs 34-36 View Figures 34–43 ). Head (Fig. 34 View Figures 34–43 ) lemon yellow, central part slightly brownish yellow; face (Fig. 36 View Figures 34–43 ) evenly lemon yellow except for slightly brownish yellow postclypeus, eyes black. Pronotum (Fig. 34 View Figures 34–43 ) with yellow ground color, slightly brown to dark brown or even black around median line and posterior margin. Mesonotum (Fig. 34 View Figures 34–43 ) yellowish brown, basal triangles black, punctations on surface dark brown, posterior submargin of mesoscutum with pair of small black spots. Forewing (Figs 34 View Figures 34–43 , 35 View Figures 34–43 ) dark brown, veins concolorous. Legs evenly yellowish.
Body form (Figs 34-36 View Figures 34–43 ). Head including eyes (Fig. 34 View Figures 34–43 ) narrower than pronotum, crown very short, roundly projecting forward. Face (Fig. 36 View Figures 34–43 ) including eyes slightly wider than long, postclypeus with indistinct longitudinal carina, distance between ocelli nearly 6 × that from ocellus to adjacent eye. Pronotum (Fig. 34 View Figures 34–43 ) 2.6 × wider than long, with weak oblique striations, anterior margin projecting forward, and posterior margin clearly concave at midlength. Mesonotum (Fig. 34 View Figures 34–43 ) nearly 1.68 × longer than pronotum. Forewing (Figs 34 View Figures 34–43 , 35 View Figures 34–43 ) with veins prominent.
Male genitalia (Figs 37-43 View Figures 34–43 ). Pygofer side (Fig. 37 View Figures 34–43 ) broad basally, lobe with caudal margin truncate and dorsal margins straight, ventral margin with apical half margined with several minute teeth (Fig. 38 View Figures 34–43 ) and marginal setae. Subgenital plate (Fig. 37 View Figures 34–43 ) slender, nearly parallel sided, distinctly shorter than ventral margin of pygofer, surface with fine setae. Dorsal connective (Fig. 39 View Figures 34–43 ) with apical process long, tapered gradually, and twisted basally with acute tip, lateral margins smooth. Style (Fig. 40 View Figures 34–43 ) slightly angled at basal 2/5, stem slightly sinuate, and slightly broader in central part. Connective (Fig. 41 View Figures 34–43 ) with anterior margin wider than posterior margin, both lateral arms twisted dorsally. Aedeagus (Figs 42 View Figures 34–43 , 43 View Figures 34–43 ) broad basally, dorsal apodeme developed, shaft slender, bent dorsally, tapered to pointed apex and U-shaped in lateral view, in ventral aspect shaft with round apex, inflated at midlength, lateral margins with pair of small spines pointed basolaterally, gonopore apical on ventral surface.
Measurement.
Body length (including tegmen): 5.5-5.6 mm.
Distribution.
China (Yunnan Province).
Etymology.
The specific epithet is derived from the Latin word Pediopsoides flavus , referring to the yellowish color of the species especially on the face.
Remarks.
The new species is similar to P. (P.) damingshanensis and P. (P.) ailaoshanensis but can be distinguished from them and other congeners by the following male genitalia characters: aedeagus with shaft inflated at midlength in ventral view with a pair of small spines near apex; pygofer ventral margin with apical half distinctly margined with several minute teeth; differently shaped dorsal connective.
