Styles long and thin, with broad anterior part and well developed preapical lobe; apophysis very long and straight, with several fine setae at base. Connective with stem 2 times length of arms; connective processes parallel, tapered apically in dorsal view and slightly curved dorsally in lateral view.

Remarks.
This species was described by
Li (1990)
from
Sichuan
based on seven male specimens. It externally resembles
Scaphoideus albomaculatus
, but can be readily distinguished by the narrowed connective processes and aedeagus with a pair of apical lateral processes.
