V . 2007 , Xingyue Liu ; 1 ♂ ( CAU ), Nujiang, Gongshan, Bingzhongluo, Wuli, 25. V . 2007 , Xingyue Liu . Distribution. China ( Yunnan ). Remarks. The new species is somewhat similar to Homoneura ( Homoneura ) latissima Shi & Yang from China ( Hainan ) in the following characters: wing with a pale brown stripe on dm-cu , abdominal tergite 6 yellow with a small brown median spot; protandrium circular, with a long narrow ventral process; surstylus consisting of digitiform process and a narrow curved bar-like process; gonopod columniform. But it can be separated from the latter by the following features: face with a pair of blackish brown elliptical median spots (sometimes two spots confluent); antennal scape and pedicel black, 1st flagellomere brownish except yellow basally; aedeagus without apical incision and apical processes. In H . ( H .) latissima , the face has no spots; the antenna is blackish brown except the 1st flagellomere is pale yellow apically; the aedeagus has a small apical incision and two pairs of contorted apical processes (Shi & Yang 2009). Etymology. The new species is named after the type locality Baihualing.
