Bamboosiella flavescens Okajima, 1995a: 312 .

Described from Chiang Mai, Thailand on bamboo, in the original description, antennal segment IV has 1+2 1 sensecones, but the authors have checked one paratype female and one paratype male with 1+1 sense-cones on IV. In here, five males of this species are presented to record firstly from China . Of which one male from Hainan has 1+2 on antennal segment IV, and three males from Yunnan with 1+1. In brief, the number of sense-cones on antennal segment IV of flavescens is variable.
