Diagnosis.
The species is distinguished by its slightly elongated necks and setae of the flagellomeres; setose M and Cu on wings; a characteristic short row of spinose setae dorsolaterally on the hind tibia; and a subapically located dorsal lobe on the gonostylus.
Distribution.
China
(Yunnan,
Fig. 24
),
Burma
(Kambaiti).
Remarks.
This species was first recorded in Kambaiti,
Burma
(Hippa & Vilkamaa 1991) and is new to
China
(Yunnan province). The Chinese specimens examined show no distinct differences from the
type
specimen. However, the
type
specimen has 2–3 setae on r-m on wings, and two setae on each half of sternite 10, while the Chinese specimens have a bare r-m, and 1–2 setae on each half of sternite 10. Moreover, the specimen [SM00843] shows variation in having the longest setae of 4th flagellomere much shorter than the apical width of the flagellomere, not as long as the apical width of the flagellomere in the
type
specimen.
