(Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region).
Remarks.
This new species is similar to
M. fohkienensis
Alexander, 1949
, but it can be separated from the latter in the following features: Rs straight before joint with r-m and nearly right-angled at joint; R1+2 parallel to Sc2. In
M. fohkienensis
, Rs
is arcuated before joint with r-m and slightly bent at the joint; apex of R1+2 is touching Sc2 and closing cell sc2 (
Fig. 15
).
Etymology.
Name of the new species refers to the nearly right-angled Rs.
