Agalope jianqingi S.-Y. Huang sp. n.

(Figs 29, 53, 55)

Type material. Holotype: male, 14.V.2009, Pianma Town, Lushui City, Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, P. R. China, Jian-qing Zhu leg., slide PMAG1 (CHSY, will be subsequently deposited in ZFMK).

Diagnosis. Length of forewing 19. 3 mm. Agalope jianqingi sp. n. is reminiscent of A. primularis Butler, 1875 (Figs 30, 54, 56) from Eastern Nepal and Northeastern India for sharing a similar 8 th tergite, which bears two narrow and slender processes, whereas in other congeners these processes are thick and stout or absent (Owada 1992; Horie 1993; Owada & Horie 2000), but it can be immediately distinguished from A. primularis by the combination of the following characters: 1) male forewing ground color is creamy white instead of yellow in A. primularis; 2) posterior tegumenal projection is much broader and longer; 3) notch between the lobes of juxta is wider and deeper; 4) valva is more slender, with the distal part longer and 5) aedeagus shorter and broader.

Distribution. Known from Pianma Town (Fig. 62) located at the border of China and Myanmar in Western Yunnan, P. R. China.

Etymology. The specific epithet jianqingi is dedicated to the Chinese entomologist Mr. Jian-qing Zhu, a friend of the first author and an expert in the taxonomy of Hesperiidae .
