Fig. 2 , A–H

Description

Pronotum length×width, 2 × 3 mm; tegmen, 10.5 mm; overall length (incl. tegmen), 12.5 mm.

Yellowish brown. Head and pronotal disk without spots and stripes. Interocular space slightly less than the distance between the antennal sockets. Maxillary palps with segments 3 and 4 approximately equal in length, each distinctly longer than the fifth segment, which is swollen. Pronotum suboval, the anterior and posterior margin straight, two sides convex, the widest behind the middle. Tegmina and wings fully developed extending beyond the end of abdomen. Hind wings with radial vein branched at distal portion, median vein simple, slightly curved at proximal part, cubitus vein with two pseudocomplete and three incomplete branches, apical triangle large. The front femur Type A3, tarsal claws symmetrical, with denticles on ventral margins. The seventh segment of abdomen specialized, with setae arising in a pair of little fossae. Supra­anal plate symmetrical, trigonal with hind margin convexly rounded; paraprocts dissimilar from each other. Subgenital plate slightly asymmetrical, two styles cylindrical, the left distinctly longer than the right one. Interstylar margin slightly convex; hook­like phallomere on the left with an apical incision; median phallomere as Fig. 2­G ; right phallomere with brush­like instruction.

Comments

According to body, venation of hind wing and the seventh segment of abdomen, this species is included in Anaplectoidea . But it can be easily distinguished from others by styles distinctly different in length, and very particular phallomeres.

Etymology

The new specific name refers to the shape of the two styles, cylindrical.
