Figures: 1, 5

Diagnosis. Distinguished by medium sized, pale body, laterally parallel dorsum yellowish and furnished with uniformly distributed simple silvery setae and dark setae, entirely yellow antennal segments and legs, and pale brown hemelytron; Z-shaped endosoma with two unequal processes, secondary gonopore lies mesially between processes ( Fig. 5A). For detail see generic description.

Description. Male. Generally medium sized, slender, parallel sided. COLORATION ( Fig. 1): Body yellow, shiny; posterior pronotum, mesoscutum, scutellum and hemelytron pale brown except lateral sides of pronotum, exocorium and cuneus yellow, and base of the cuneus pale; membrane grayish. Ventral side of body pale and abdomen yellowish green. All antennal segments yellow, segment I with a pair of pale brown elongated spine dorsally. Labium pale brown, with dark apex. All coxae, trochanters, femora and tibiae yellow, without any spots, tibiae furnished with pale brown spines. SURFACE AND VESTITURE: Head distributed with pale brown erect and white semierect shining setae; dorsum covered with uniformly distributed simple dark, sub-erect setae and pale setae; ventrally furnished with shining pale pubescences. STRUCTURE: Head narrow, elongated, projecting ventrally; vertex narrow, eyes large; labium short, slightly surpass apex of mesocoxae; antennal segment II as long as metafemora. Pronotum anteriorly narrow and posteriorly broad (more or less flask shaped), width of pronotum twice as long as mesial pronotal length. GENITALIA ( Figs. 5A–D): See generic description.

Measurements. (♂). (1): Body length 4.66; head width across eyes 0.78; vertex width 0.28; lengths of antennal segments I–II: 0.30, 1.67, (seg. III and IV broken); total length of labium1.21; mesal pronotal length 0.60; basal pronotal width 1.23; width across hemelytron 1.47; and lengths of metafemur, tibia and tarsus: 1.31, 1.61, 0.53.

Specimens examined. Holotype (♂): South Korea: Gyeonggi-do, Yangpyeong-gun, Mt. Yongmun, 24.vi.2009, on light trap, Ram Keshari Duwal and Sunghoon Jung (SNU).

Etymology. Named after the type locality, Mt. Yongmun.

Distribution. Korea (South).

Discussion. The biology is unknown for this new species as it was collected at light.
