Diagnosis: This appears to be a good new species resembling T. javae in most morphological features except for the forewing, which has a much longer marginal setae relative to the wing’s width. Its metasoma has one orange dorsal spot, rather than 2-4 dark brown spots on the subapical terga (typical for T. javae ).
Material examined: CHINA: Beijing Province: Mentougou District , 130 km NW Beijing, Xiaolongmen Sta., 39°59.220'N: 115°31.479'E, 1095 m, 28.vii.2002, G. Melika, 1^ [ UCRC] GoogleMaps .
Distribution: Known only from a single female specimen from Beijing Province in China.
Hosts: Unknown.
Comments: I am reluctant to describe a new species based on a single specimen just in case it could be an aberrant individual of T. javae .
