( Figs. 1 , 2 ) Description. Body length (including tegmina), male: 5.0 mm. Body pale yellow to brown. Crown ( Fig. 1 , A, C) deep yellow, with large black spot medially; apex of lateral frontal suture black, two light symmetrical spots on anterior margin in dorsal view. Face ( Fig. 1 , D) dark yellowish except with darker tinge in frontoclypeus and anteclypeus. Pronotum ( Fig. 1 , A, C) brown with posteror margin black and anterolateral margins yellow. Exposed part of mesonotum ( Fig. 1 , A, C) concolorous with pronotum but with basal dark brown angles and two medial pale yellow lines, scutellum ( Fig. 1 , A, C) lighter than the former with apex yellowish white. Forewing ( Fig. 1 , A, B) hazel, veins of clavus yellowish; base with faint reddish markings. Legs ( Fig. 1 , A, B, C, D) yellow, tarsal apices black. Venter of thorax and abdomen ( Fig. 1 , B, D) yellow, distal part of male subgenital plates ( Fig. 1 , B) dark brown. Body small and slender. Crown ( Fig. 1 , A, C) broadly rounded in dorsal view; coronal suture obscure; ocelli anterior to line between anterior eye angles, the distance between ocelli approximately 1/3 interocular width. Face smooth ( Fig. 1 , D); anteclypeus swollen, broad basally and narrow apically; transclypeal suture obvious, junction flat, slightly apically expanded beyond gena. Antennae ( Fig. 1 , B, C, D) slightly shorter than median length of crown; antennal pits near upper corner of eyes in anterior view and not overlapping frontoclypeus. Pronotum ( Fig. 1 , A, C) almost trapezoidal, posterior margin concave. Forewing ( Fig. 1 , A, B) apices exceeding posterior margin of pygofer by about 1 mm . Male pygofer ( Fig. 2 , A) slightly produced dorsally, lobe with posterior margin angularly convex, with few small setae and a macroseta on posteroventral margin. Pygofer process ( Fig. 2 , A, B) relatively short, strongly curved posterodorsally in lateral view, extending posteriorly to middle part of lobe, expanded preapically, unbranched. Anal tube ( Fig. 2 , A) extended to apex of pygofer. Subgenital plate ( Fig. 2 , C) ventral surface some long thin setae dispersed on inner side and few microsetae distributed in middle. Style ( Fig. 2 , D, E) somewhat broad, narrowed anteapically, with several long microsetae and a few short setae at apex. Connective ( Fig. 2 , D) with anterior arms divergent, shorter than stem. Aedeagus ( Fig. 2 , F, G, H) exceeding posterior margin of pygoer lobe; basal apodeme irregularly expanded dorsally in lateral view; shaft long, slender and parallel-sided, tubular, evenly curved dorsally, apex bent anterad and tapered to point, with retrorse thorn-shaped median ventral process at mid-length; gonopore on posterior margin at base of distal extension; ventral margin of aedeagus with clavate anterior process.

Scale lines = 0.1 mm Material examined . Holotype : ♂ ( NWAFU ), Hunan Province , Shaoyang , Huangsang National Nature Reserve , 26°21'32'' N 110°8'6'' E , 1040 m , 28.V.2021 , Coll. Ai Deqiang. Etymology. The specific epithet refers to the type specimen locality. Remarks. This new species is similar externally to P. dashahensis but differs in having the male pygofer process unbranched; and the aedeagus with a single preapical spine and an unpaired distal process.
