Etymology.The species is named after the type locality, Pianma Town.Distribution.China
(

Behavior.The species can be attracted by light.Remarks.
The new species is similar to

)
simplicistylaAlexander, 1967
from
India
in having similar wing venation, but can be separated by the brown abdomen with segments 7–8 darker (Fig.
4 A
), the gonostylus conspicuously curved with a spine at the basal 1 / 3 (Fig.
5 A, B, H
), and the interbase with the tip inflated (Fig.
5 A – D
). In
