Diagnosis.
This new species belongs to the
Agriotypus himalensis
species group, and it runs to
A. chaoi
Bennett in
Bennett's
key (2001), but differs in ♀ scutellum funnel-shaped (the latter triangle-shaped); spine of scutellum black (the latter light brown apical half); mesoscutum punctate and pubescent (the latter sparsely pubescent and impunctate postero-medially). It differentiates from other new species proposed in this study by the combination characters: ♀ frons without a longitudinal carina; mesoscutum and scutellum completely black, without pale spots; mesoscutum pubescent; scutellum funnel-shaped; length of scutellum 1.8
x
its basal width; spine of scutellum short, distinctly obliquely upward, rounded apically; T1 3.4
x
its apical width.
Description.
Female.
Body length 7.2 mm; fore wing length 6.0 mm.
Head
.
Head width equal to its median length. Antennae 26-segmented, 0.7
x
length of forewing. Temple behind eyes roundly narrowed in dorsal view. Transverse diameter of eye 1.2
x
temple in dorsal view. Frons convex medially, with shallow depression near middle ocelli, without longitudinal carina. Antennal scrobe deep, with a weak carina on its lateral margin parallel to inner orbit of eye. Ocelli medium-sized, in triangle with base equal to its sides. POL: OD: OOL = 15: 13: 22. Face distinctly convex medially with coarse rugosity and dense pubescence. Area between antennal socket with a glabrous tubercle. Clypeus nearly pentagonal, equal to its maximum width, roundly convex, more or less flat medially and rugose with punctuation in basal half; thin apically, finely strigate, slightly rounded on apical margin; summit of covexity of clypeus smoothly rounded in lateral view. Distance between dorsal tentorial pits 1.7

length between a tentorial pit and eye. Malar space 1.6

Mesosoma
.
Pronotum with long and strong epomia, portion dorsal to pronotal furrow curved sigmoidally; lateral of pronotum with more than seven fine carinae dorso-posteriorly. Mesoscutum punctate-rugose; notaulus deep, meeting in apical 0.2. Scutellum funnel-shaped, 1.8

its basal width, 1.1
x
length of propodeum; basal half of scutellum with lateral carinae and punctuation-rugosity, convex medially, lateral margin of scutellum paralleled in basal 2/3, tapering towards to apex in apical 1/3; in lateral view scutellum less roundly curved medially, distinctly obliquely upward, apex more or less rounded, produced 10° dorsoposteriorly. Mesopleuron and metapleuron finely punctuate and pubescent; ecepicnemial carina strong, only extending to ventral-anterior of mesopleuron; mesopleural sulcus complete; sternaulus strong. Propodeum punctate-rugose; lateromedian longitudinal carinae weakly convergent posteriorly; lateral longitudinal carinae straight, complete and paralleled with lateromedian longitudinal carinae.
Wings
.
Fore wing with vein 1cu-a distad of M&RS, abscissa of vein M between 2rs-m and 2cu-m 1.25

2rs-m; hind wing with vein CU & cu-a intercepted by distal abscissa of CU interrupted at lower 0.15.
Metasoma

length of propodeum; T1 finely irregularly rugose-striate, transverse rugose before spiracles, spiracles situated in basal 0.3, widest at level of spiracles; lateromedian carinae and dorsolateral carinae complete and strong, reaching to apex. T2 with a pair of short carinae medially and a lateral carina before spiracle; T2 densely finely strigose. T3 and following tergite densely punctulate. Ovipositor sheath 0.8

length of hind basitarsus.
Colour
.
Black. Apical of four tergites, sternites and ovipositor reddish brown. Leg black. Fore wing faintly infuscate, with three slightly fuscous longitudinal bands: basal band near cu-a; substigmal band below stigma and distal band in distal 0.25 of forewing; hind wing more or less hyaline.
Male.

Etymology.
This species is named in honour of Dr Yang Lianfang, the famous entomologist who studied the taxonomy of
Trichoptera
in China.
