Brevicopius jianfenglingensis ( Chen, Zhang et Chang, 2014) , comb. n.

Fortunia jianfenglingensis Chen, Zhang et Chang, 2014: 94 .

Supplimentary description. Male length (N=1) (including tegmen): 8.6 mm, length of tegmen: 6.9 mm; female length (N=1) (including tegmen): 9.1 mm, length of tegmen: 7.4 mm.

Colouration: Body fulvous, with flavous and atramentous speckles. Vertex flavescent, with two small black speckles near anterior margin, and two aurantiaceous freckles near anterio-lateral corner. Eyes fuscous with dark yellow longitudinal stripes. Frons fusco-piceous, with brown carinae and tubercules. Clypeus piceous, with a light speckle in lateral view. Pronotum dark testaceous, median carina ochraceous, with two small yellow spots surrounding black; lateral lobe with a large triangulate flavous blotch and fusco-piceous maculations or speckles, lower granules pale taupe and upper granules most pallide-flavens, the tubercules lacteous. Mesonotum flavescent with three angles pale, and near lateroapical angle fuscous; three carinae and tubercules pallide-flavens. Tegmina luteotestaceous, costal margin with a pallide-flavens spot near middle, posterior margin with big pallide-flavens blotch closed to terminal of clavus, with four small pallide-flavens spots along the first branch of median vein and Cu vein in the middle of tegmina; longitudinal veins fusco-rufous, transverse veins fulvous except veins in clavus pale grayish white. Hind wings pale fuscous, veins dark testaceous ( Figs 1–5 ).

Head and Thorax: Vertex about 1.6 times wide at base than long in middle line, disc deeply depressed ( Fig. 1 ). Frons slightly trapezoidal, about 1.2 times longer than wide at widest part ( Fig. 4 ). Pronotum relatively large, about 1.7 times longer than length of vertex in middle line ( Fig. 1 ). Mesonotum nearly triangular, 2.1 times wider than long in midde line, 1.3 times longer than length of pronotum ( Fig. 1 ).

Male genitalia: Anal tube as long in middle line as wide at widest part, widest near middle and then gradually narrowing to apex, apical margin arcuately convex, lateral margin bluntly convex in lateral view ( Figs. 8 , 12 ). Anal pore located at middle of anal tube. Epiproct large and quadrate, paraproct relatively short, not reaching the apical margin of epiproct ( Figs. 8 , 12 ). Aedeagus long and slender, laterodorsal lobe narrow at apex in lateral view, apical part membranous and weakly concave at apical margin in dorsal view; ventral lobe well-developed, as long as dorsolateral lobe, slightly sclerotized, apical margin round; phallus faintly sclerotized with obtuse apex weakly bent down, with a pair of short falcate processes near middle ( Figs 10 , 11 ).

Female genitalia: Anal tube widest near the middle, apical margin almost straight ( Fig. 15 ). Anal pore located near middle of anal tube. Epiproct large and quadrate, paraproct short, not reaching the apical margin of epiproct ( Fig. 15 ). Endogonocoxal process little shorter than the length of anterior connective lamina, faintly pigmented along ventral margin, and bifurcate apically ( Fig. 18 ). Anterior connective lamina of gonapophysis VIII with apical margin narrow, latarodorsal angles of anterior connective lamina roundly arcute, three big teeth of apical group become successively smaller from top to bottom, with four teeth also become successively smaller from top to bottom along apical margin to dorsal margin ( Fig. 18 ).
