Supplementary description.

Male (Figs 2C-G , 3 ). Hind wings (Fig. 2G ) with AA3+4 vein bifurcate near apical third; AA4 vein and AA3 vein closed to each other apically and not extending to margin; AA3 vein connected with Cu vein near apical third; CuA2 vein connected with MP3+4 vein near basal third of MP3+4 vein and not extending to margin; MP3+4 vein bifurcate near middle; MP4 vein, MP3 vein and MS vein not extending to margin; a short and vague uncertain vein (?, either a crossvein or base of MP3+4 vein) located between Cu vein and MP1+2 vein.

Male terminalia. Tergite VIII (Fig. 3A ) sparsely covered with short brown setae apically and at sides of apical third, nearly truncated at apex. Sternite VIII (Fig. 3B ) anchor-shaped, sparsely covered with short brown setae at apical sides, apical margin slightly depressed; spiculum relictum distinctly longer than sternite VIII. Stem of spiculum gastrale more than 2.0 times as long as branches and curved towards dorsum at base (Fig. 3C ). Parameres of tegmen sparsely covered with short brown setae on apical third and several long setae near apical fifth; each paramere gradually constricted from base to apex, but external margin slightly expanded near apex; apex of both parameres rounded and closed together; phallobase nearly 3.0 times as long as parameres and processed outward near middle; anterior tegminal strut curved outward (Fig. 3D-F ). Penis curved towards venter, ventral plate distinctly longer and broader than dorsal plate and slightly sharp at apex; dorsal plate widely rounded at apex; apex of dorsal struts obliquely truncated (Fig. 3G-J ).

Female (Fig. 4B-F ). Hind wings (Fig. 4F ) with AA3+4 vein bifurcate near apical third; AA4 vein and AA3 vein fused apically and not extending to margin; AA3 vein connected with Cu vein near apical third; CuA2 vein connected with MP3+4 vein near basal fifth of MP3+4 vein and not extending to margin; MP3+4 vein bifurcate near middle, MP4 vein, MP3 vein and MS vein not extending to margin; a short uncertain vein (?, either a crossvein or base of MP3+4 vein) located between Cu vein and MP1+2 vein.

Distribution.

China (Hainan, Hunan), Laos (Houa Phan), Vietnam (Lao Cai, Yen Bai).
