This new species is similar to Alishania formosana ( Matsumura, 1914) in external appearance, but can be distinguished from the latter by the absencee of appendages on the aedeagal shafts ( Figs.12 View FIGURES 1 – 18 , 13,14), the style with both medial and lateral processes forked ( Figs.15, 16 View FIGURES 1 – 18 ), and the posterior margin of the valve roundly produced( Fig.10 View FIGURES 1 – 18 ).
Etymology. This new species is named after its type locality “Foding”.
