Dianica rugulosa Zhang View in CoL sp. nov. ( Figs 1–14 View FIGURE 1–4 View FIGURE 5–14 )
Coloration. Light to dark brown without definite markings ( Figs 1–2, 4 View FIGURE 1–4 ). Crown and face brown, eyes dark brown and ocelli reddish brown ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 1–4 ). Pronotum ( Figs 1, 3 View FIGURE 1–4 ) anterior margin light brown, lateral and posterior margins dark brown. Scutellum ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 1–4 ) dark brown with basal triangles brown. Forewings ( Figs 1–2 View FIGURE 1–4 , 5 View FIGURE 5–14 ) brown except clavus dark brown, with paler venation.
Male basal abdominal apodemes ( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 5–14 ), strut-like, dorsal basal abdominal apodemes short and attaining posterior margin of sternite III, ventral ones poorly developed.
Male genitalia. Pygofer ( Fig. 7 View FIGURE 5–14 ) trapezoidal without setae; in lateral view, dorsal margin short, nearly straight; ventral margin long, slightly convex, apex distinctly upturned, caudal margin concave. Anal collar ( Figs 7–8 View FIGURE 5–14 ) process with apex foot-like directed caudally. Male valve broader basally than at apex. Subgenital plate ( Fig. 7 View FIGURE 5–14 ) gradually narrowed to tapered apex, without marginal and surface setae. Style ( Fig. 9 View FIGURE 5–14 ) with apophysis smooth, subapically expanded and then narrowed to pointed apex directed dorsally ( Fig. 10 View FIGURE 5–14 ), lacking setae. Connective ( Figs 11–12 View FIGURE 5–14 ) laminate, stem distinctly longer than combined width of arms. Aedeagus ( Figs 13–14 View FIGURE 5–14 ) stout, broad basally then abruptly narrowed to finger-like apex, without preatrium and dorsal apodeme; aedeagal shaft compressed laterally, ventral margin with a longitudinal carination, apex with pair of compressed keel-shaped processes; gonopore situated apically on ventral margin.
Female. Unknown.
Measurements (mm). Male: body length 7.05, face length 1.85, width 2.25; distance between ocelli 0.73; distance from ocellus to eyes 0.35; medial length of pronotum 0.75, width 1.75; scutellum length 1.18, width 1.38; length of anteclypeus 0.53, width across base 0.26, width across subapex 0.38.
Material examined. Holotype: male, CHINA: Yunnan Province, Yingjiang City, Xima town , 29.v.2011, Bin Zhang.

Remarks. This species differs from other species of the Tasnimocerus group as follows: body size larger, colour brown to chocolate brown without dark markings, pygofer without dorsal anterior apodemes and ventral process, and lacking setae; aedeagal shaft slightly compressed laterally and without dorsal apodeme and preatrium.
