The new species can be identified by the two pairs of abdominal apodemes and the aedeagal shaft with lamellate-like processed at base. Style apex long and slender. Subgenital plate long, expanded near caudal.
Description.
Vertex pale yellow (Fig. 11 View Figures 1–15 ). Pronotum yellowish, with symmetrical brownish black impressed patches medially (Figs 11 View Figures 1–15 , 13 View Figures 1–15 ). Scutellum (Fig. 11 View Figures 1–15 ) yellow, with basal triangles black and area under transverse impression black too. Face brownish gray; anteclypeus with central area brownish (Fig. 14 View Figures 1–15 ). Forewing brownish, with large milky white or whitish patches.
Second abdominal apodemes and third abdominal apodemes small and short, lamellate, not exceeded 3rd sternite (Fig. 39 View Figures 32–39 ).
Male genitalia. Pygofer dorsal appendage simple, curved upward in lateral view, hook-like apically (Fig. 37 View Figures 32–39 ). Pygofer lobe broad, with many long fine setae on lateral surface, with a small process at caudal edge ventrally (Fig. 36 View Figures 32–39 ). Subgenital plate long, with three macrosetae near apex (Fig. 35 View Figures 32–39 ). Style apex long and slender; preapical lobe large (Fig. 32 View Figures 32–39 ). Aedeagal shaft slender, with pair of long processes arising from base (Figs 33 View Figures 32–39 , 34 View Figures 32–39 ). Connective Y-shaped; stem slender; arms and central lobe well developed (Fig. 38 View Figures 32–39 ).
