Material examined.
Holotype: ♂, China: Guizhou Province, Bijie , 6.VI.2021, coll. Jia Jiang and Ni Zhang. Paratypes: 1 ♀, same data as holotype .
Diagnosis.
The new species can be distinguished from other species by the aedeagal shaft long with two apical processes; preatrium of aedeagus with two atrial processes. The head and pronotum yellow. Pygofer dorsal appendage tapered to apex and bent back into a hook shape. Style apex slightly expanded, underpart straight and thick. Connective with large central lobe.
Description.
Head and thorax yellow marked with brown; vertex with a pair of dark brown spots (Figs 1-4 View Figures 1–15 ). Pronotum yellow, with irregularly dark brown patch medially (Figs 1 View Figures 1–15 , 3 View Figures 1–15 ). Scutellum yellow, transverse impression distinct. Face brownish yellow (Fig. 1 View Figures 1–15 ); anteclypeus with black patches at sides basally (Fig. 4 View Figures 1–15 ). Forewing brownish, with large milky white or whitish patches.
Abdominal apodemes long, exceeding posterior margin of 3rd sternite (Fig. 23 View Figures 16–23 ).
Male genitalia. Pygofer lobe broad, with sparse fine setae on lateral surface (Fig. 20 View Figures 16–23 ). Pygofer dorsal appendage slightly expanded at base, bends up and down and tapers gradually (Fig. 21 View Figures 16–23 ). Subgenital plate with three macrosetae of different lengths medially (Fig. 19 View Figures 16–23 ). Style long and strong; preapical lobe large (Fig. 16 View Figures 16–23 ). Aedeagal shaft long, with pair of short bifurcate apical processes; preatrium also with two atrial processes (Figs 17 View Figures 16–23 , 18 View Figures 16–23 ). Connective M-shaped, with distinct stem and central lobe (Fig. 22 View Figures 16–23 ).
Body length (including wings). ♂, 2.9-3.0 mm, ♀, 2.8-2.9 mm.
Remarks.
The new species is similar to Mitjaevia diana (Distant, 1918) but can be distinguished by the aedeagal shaft with two apical processes and preatrium of aedeagus with two atrial processes; the style apex slightly expanded, underpart straight and thick; the connective with large central lobe.
