Diagnosis. The species is distinguished by bare M and Cu wing veins; all megasetae closely arranged in one group on the dorsal lobe, except one megaseta shifted basally away from apex of the dorsal lobe; a long and narrow tegmen, and strong setae in the ventral membraneous area between the gonocoxites. Distribution. China (Yunnan, Fig. 24 ), Burma (Kambaiti). Remarks. This species was first recorded in Kambaiti, Burma (Hippa & Vilkamaa 1991) and is newly recorded from China (Yunnan province). The six Chinese specimens examined do not show distinct difference, but the numbers of setae on some special parts show variation. The type specimen has two setae on the basal segment of the palpus, one seta on each half of sternite 10, and a couple of strong setae in the ventral membraneous area between the gonocoxites, while the Chinese specimens have 2–3 setae on the basal segment of the palpus, 1–2 setae on each half of sternite 10, and 0–5 slightly strong setae in the ventral membraneous area between the gonocoxites. Additionally, the Chinese specimens have a tegmen wider than the type .
