Diagnosis.
From the original description: “This species can be distinguished from other species by having irregularly piceous fascia on apical area of tegmina.”. Also (from their figures) tegmina with a transversely hyaline oval area.
Distribution.
China
(Xizang).
Remarks.
This species was described from the
holotype
female (not examined) with the following data: “
China
, Xizang, Beibeng,
800m
,
24 May 1983
, Yinheng Han”. Due to the similarity of congeneric females in
Dusana
and absence of males in this species it is not possible to be certain of its identity or indeed its validity. See also Remarks under
D. anacantha
.
