Length of body 7-8mm , of fore wings 11-12mm , of hind wings 9- 10mm .Vertex yellow, face pale yellow and with genal marks. Two reddish slender tranverse stripes under antennae, connected with two reddish longitudinal stripes on the inner lateral parts of genal marks; two reddish stripes above clypeus like a inverted “/\”; genal marks reddish-brown or blackishbrown, small, rectangular; clypeal marks present or absent. Maxillary palpi yellow on 1 st- 2 nd segments, brown on the dorsal parts of 3 rd- 4 th segments, brown on 5 th segment; labial palpi wholly yellow. Reddish slender stripes present between antennae and eyes. Scape swollen and longer than wide, reddish vitta present on outer-lateral parts; pedicel wholly red, flagellum from light brown to darkish brown gradually towards the apex. Prothroax wholly yellow, and pronotum longer than wide, from narrow on the anterior-parts to broad on the posterior-parts gradually and like a trapezia. Meso- and metathorax yellowish-green in dorsal and ventral view, green in lateral view. Legs yellow, claws strongly curved, squarely dilated at base ( Fig. 4a ). In fore wings, densely clothed with brownish pubescence. Costal crossveins 16, green on the mid-parts and brown at two apical parts; pterostigma yellow and without crossvein. R-Rs crossvein 9, wholly yellowish-green; branches of Rs 8, wholly yellowish-green; Psm-Psc 6, wholly yellowish-green; cell im triangular, r-m crossvein above it. Cu yellowish-green; gradates brown on the mid-parts and green on two apicalparts, (inner/outer) = 3/5 (left wing) and 3/6 (right wing). In hind wings, costal crossveins 14, brown proximal to Sc; R- Rs crossveins 8, brown proximal to R; branches of Rs 6, wholly yellowish-green; Psm-Psc 4, yellowish-green; gradates light brown, inner/outer = 2/4. Fig. 4. Dichochrysa flavinotala , new species , male. a. claw; b. apex of abdomen in male; c. male genitalia, dorsal view; d. male genitalia, lateral view; e. tignum; f. gonapsis. Abdomen yellowish-brown. 7 th tergite as long as 8 th tergite ( Fig. 4b ). Ectoproct narrowed on the half lower parts. Callus cerci proximal to the upper-inner margin. Basal parts of 8+9 sternum as wide as apical parts. Two lateral lobes of gonarcus divided on the bottom; entoprocessus like a “Y”; pseudopenis slightly bifurcated at top and tapered off towards bottom ( Figs. 4c, d ). Tignum large and tapered off towards two apex ( Fig. 4e ). Two lateral parts of gonapsis expanded and arcussus slender ( Fig. 4f ) Etymology. – This new species is named according to the colour of prothroax. Remarks. – This species distinctly differs from its allied species Dichochrysa allochroma (Yang & Yang, 1990a) in the wholly yellow prothroax and without longitudinal middorsal vitta. Besides, in D. allochroma , its two lateral parts of gonapsis do not expand, tignum is smaller than that of D. flavinotala , and entoprocessus is rectangle. Distribution. – China : Fujian , Yunnan .
