Remarks.
The new species is somewhat similar to
Homoneura
(
Homoneura
)
nigritarsis
sp. nov.
from
China
(Hainan) in the following characters: face pale yellow without spot; wing with a brown spot on
dm-cu
; tergites 3–5 each with a triangular median spot confluent with a blackish brown posterior band and tergite 6 with a brown or blackish brown median spot; protandrium circular, epandrium with a row of apical hairs; surstylus narrow incurved stick–like in lateral view. But it can be separated from the latter by the antennal 1st flagellomere being brownish yellow; the hypandrium having a pair of short bar–like ventral processes; the gonopod being beyond the tip of aedeagus; the aedeagus having a pair of incurved horn–like apical processes and a deep apical incision. In
H
. (
H
.)
nigritarsis
, the antennal 1st flagelomere is pale brown with a pale yellow basal spot on ventral 1/2; the hypandrium has a small ventral process and the gonopod shorter than the tip of aedeagus; the aedeagus has a pair of subuliform processes curved outwards and a shallow apical incision.
Etymology.
The species is named after the
type
locality
Yinggeling
National Natural Reserve.
