Wing length 2.27–2.52 (2.40, the holotype ) mm, width/length: 0.35–0.40. c/w: 0.39–0.63 (0.85, the holotype ). R1/R: 0.72–0.82. r-m bare, stM with a few of setae, M1 and M2 with numerous setae, Cu1 with numerous setae and Cu2 bare. Legs. Foretibia with a comb of 4– 7 setae. Length of spur/width of foretibia 1.83–2.16. Length of femur/length of metatarsus: foreleg 1.03–1.36. Length of metatarsus/length of tibia: foreleg 0.60–0.73, hind leg 0.51–0.63.

Sternite 10 with 2 (2–3, the holotype ) setae on each half. Diagnosis. The species is distinguished by setose M and Cu1 on wings; a dorsal lobe on the gonostylus located completely in dorsal side, not visible in ventral view except its three megasetae; a short and wide intercoxal lobe on the hypopygium. Distribution. China (Sichuan, Taiwan , Fig. 24 ). Remarks. This species was first recorded in Mt. Alishan, Taiwan (Vilkamaa & Hippa 1996) . It was also described as Phytosciara ( Prosciara ) flexa Rudzinski, 1996 , which was regarded as a junior synonym of P. f u r t i v a by Menzel and Heller (2006). Vilkamaa & Hippa (1996) described the species based on a single type . The description provided was not comprehensive because many parts of the holotype were distorted or missing. Here we describe the species based on new materials from Sichuan province.
