Mileewa quinquemaculata
He & Yang
,
sp. nov.
(
Figs 4
,
5
)
Length: male,
4.1–4.2 mm
; female,
4.1–4.2 mm
.
Dorsum black (
Figs 4a, 4e
). Crown with four yellowish white patches medially. Pronotum with an indistinct longitudinal yellowish white stripe medially. Forewing with an elongate translucent yellowish white spot subapically (
Fig.
4g
). Venter yellowish white.
Head similar in width to pronotum; crown roundly produced in dorsal view with median length equal to interocular width; coronal suture present basally. Forewing (
Fig.
4g
) similar in width throughout length with apical margin truncate.
Male pygofer without processes (
Fig. 5a
). Subgenital plates in ventral view expanded to midlength then tapered to narrowly rounded apex, with uniseriate row of macrosetae laterally and several fine microsetae on ventral surface (
Fig. 5b
). Aedeagus laterally compressed basally, shaft short and robust, cylindrical, with a bifurcate basal lamellate process ventrally, gonopore apical on ventral surface (
Figs 5d, 5e, 5f
). Connective Y-shaped with stem short and arms widely separated. Style slender, S-shaped with apex acute, several microsetae at midlength and a short lamellate process subdistally on inner surface; apices becoming pointed (
Fig. 5c
).
Female sternite VII, in ventral view, slightly longer than broad; posterior margin convex medially with acute apex. Valvulae elongate evenly tapered to apex distally; valvulae II with subtriangular widely spaced teeth on expanded subapical part and small closely spaced teeth apically (
Figs. 4j–m
).
Etymology.
The specific name refers to the four yellowish white patches on the crown medially.

Remarks.
This species is tentatively included in
Mileewa
as it lacks the pygofer processes present in other species. In addition, its head marking is more like
Ujna
but its forewing apex is truncate as in many
Mileewa
species rather than rounded in
Ujna
. Its S-shaped style and shape of the aedeagus are also distinctive.
