Diagnosis. Head almost holoptic in male, dichoptic in female, female vertex about 0.28 of head width; parafacial with only several fine hairs on upper portion; arista long plumose, total width including plumosity wider than postpedicel; palpus reddish-yellow; 2 presutural and 2 postsutural acrostichal setae; 3 presutural and 3 postsutural dorsocentral setae; 2 katepisternal setae; costa bare above, haired below; mid tibia with 2 anterodorsal setae; hind tibia with 3 preapical dorsal setae; male claws and pulvilli longer than 5th tarsomere.

Terminalia: Sixth tergite entire, weakly concave on anterior margin, without hair; surstylus wide, nearly parallel-sided, apex nearly truncated and faintly curved ventrally; cerci in dorsal view broad along basal portion and narrowed at basal 2/5, mid-dorsal suture weak but distinct along basal portion, in lateral view weakly constricted at basal 2/5; pregonite weakly pointed near middle; postgonite not extending beyond apex of epiphallus; dorsal sclerite of distiphallus long, apical portion weakly swollen, distal membranous portion short, nearly 1/4 as long as dorsal sclerite.

Type material examined. Holotype ♂: [China] Weixi [in Chinese] / 15.ix.1983 / Y. Zhou [in Chinese] (KIZ).

Paratypes: China, Yunnan: 1 ♂, same locality as holotype, 28.viii.1983, D. Dong (KUM); 1 ♀, Weixi, Pan- tiange, 2900 m, 21.vii.1981, X. Zhang (IZCAS) .
