Description. Male.
Body length: 12.0 mm, humeral width: 4.5–5.0 mm (2 individuals);
holotype
(
Figs 27–43
), body length: 12.0 mm, humeral width: 5.0 mm. Body reddish brown, antennomeres V–X (except for apex) and antennomere XI yellowish brown; antennomeres III–X dark brown apically; prothorax (except for prosternum), most parts of elytra, sides of meso- and metaventrite and urosternite I (except for base) black; urosternites IV–V yellowish brown (
Figs 27–29
).
FIGURES 27–29.
Paragnia tiani
sp. nov.
, holotype, male. Habitus: 27. dorsal view; 28. ventral view; 29. lateral view. Scale bar: 5 mm.
Frons sparsely covered with short grayish-white and black setae (
Fig. 30
). Scape, pedicel and middle of antennomere XI sparsely covered with short black setae; apical half of antennomere IV with moderately dense short black setae, antennomeres IV–IX with several long black setae ventrally, scape, pedicel and base of antennomere III with sparse short grayish-white setae, basal half of antennomere IV with moderately dense short light-yellow setae (
Figs 27–29
). Prothorax with a yellow setal band at laterobasal half (
Figs 27, 29
). Each elytron with a longitudinal yellow setal band on the basal 1/3 close to the suture and an irregular yellow setal spot on inner margin of apex (
Fig. 27
). Prosternum and mesoventrite sparsely covered with short grayish-white setae (
Fig. 28
).

, holotype, male. 30. Head, frontal view; 31. prothorax, dorsal view; 32. right hind wing, dorsal view (A: anal, C
u
: cubital, MP: medial posterior, MS: medial spur, r: radial). Scale bars: 2 mm.
Antennae 1.4 times as long as body, antennal formula (ratio) based on length of antennomere III: scape= 0.60, pedicel= 0.10, IV= 0.87, V= 0.53, VI= 0.47, VII= 0.40, VIII= 0.35, IX= 0.32, X= 0.28, XI= 0.38. Inner side of antennomeres V–IX slightly projected near base (
Figs 27–28

Fig. 32
). Margin of urosternite V slightly notched medially (
Fig. 28
).
Male terminalia.
Tergite VIII (
Figs 33–34
) sub-semicircle, with a feebly triangular projection at apical middle. Stem of spiculum gastrale more than 2 times as long as branches (
Figs 35–37
), curved near basal 1/
3 in
lateral view (
Fig. 36
). Tegmen (
Figs 38–40
) shorter than penis, dorsum of parameres sparsely covered with short fine brown setae and several long thick brown setae near base and apex, phallobase expanded near the apical 1/3 and gradually tapered to base, then curved near the basal 1/
3 in
lateral view (
Fig. 39
), tegminal struts distinctly expanded towards inside near apex (
Figs 38, 40
). Venter of dorsal struts of penis distinctly constricted near apical 1/
4 in
lateral view (
Fig. 42
).
Female.
Unknown.
Diagnosis.
Males of this new species can be distinguished from
Paragnia fulvomaculata
by the prothorax with a yellow setal band on the laterobasal half (without yellow setal band in
P
.
fulvomaculata
); the long yellow setal bands on basal middle and basal margin of elytra (short in
P
.
fulvomaculata
); each elytron with a yellow setal band on the basal 1/3 close to suture (with several yellow setal spots in
P
.
fulvomaculata
), with a yellow setal spot on inner margin of apex (with sparse short light yellow hairs in
P
.
fulvomaculata
); antennae short (long in
P
.
fulvomaculata
), antennomeres III–IV thicker (thin in
P
.
fulvomaculata
); CuA
2
vein of hind wing short (long in
P
.
fulvomaculata
), the distance between MP
3+4
and MP
4
veins long (short in
P
.
fulvomaculata
), sr vein missing (with sr vein in
P
.
fulvomaculata
); ventrites slightly notched at apical middle (sub-truncated in
P
.
fulvomaculata
); tergite VIII with a feebly triangular projection at the apical middle (truncated in
P
.
fulvomaculata
); stem of spiculum gastrale narrow (wide in
P
.
fulvomaculata
), membrane connecting both parameres wide (narrow in
P
.
fulvomaculata
); tegminal struts distinctly expanded towards inside near apex (not expanded in
P
.
fulvomaculata
); venter of dorsal struts of penis distinctly constricted near apical 1/
4 in
lateral view (not constricted in
P
.
fulvomaculata
).
