( Figs. 6–10 , 19–27 ) Diagnosis. Indolipa huapingensis is externally identical to I. kurseongensis ; but they can be readily distinguished by: 1) in right lateral view, the processes of ventral margin of endosoma ( I. huapingensis with a tusk-like process, sheet-like, curved and directed cephalad, but I. kurseongensis without process); 2) the sheet-like process in the basal area of right lateral sinuation of endosoma ( I. huapingensis with a sheet-like process, which is divided into two processes, but I. kurseongensis with a sheet-like process which is divided into three processes); 3) the processes of in the basiventral area of the left lateral sinuation of endosoma ( I. huapingensis with a foliaceous, broader, curve process, and directed dorsocaudad, but I. kurseongensis with a Y-shaped process). Description. Male. Body length (from apex of vertex to tip of forewings) 6.1–6.3 mm. Head. Vertex ( Figs. 6, 8 ) black with pale yellow carinae and borders, about 1.4 times as long as broad, with a distinct subapical transverse carina U-shaped, connected with anterior border of vertex by two small longitudinal carinae, median carina absent. Posterior margin deeply excavated, lateral margins elevated. Face black, carinae and margins pale yellow. Frons with median carina prominent, fork of median carina near apex. Rostrum ( Fig. 7 ) just reaching hind coxae; apically black. Thorax. Pronotum ( Figs. 6, 7, 8 ) dark brown with pale yellowish carinae and borders, median carina indistinct. Mesonotum ( Figs. 6, 8 ) black with con-colorous carinae. Tegmina ( Figs. 6, 7, 10 ) hyaline, 3.1 times as long as broad, veins yellow, apical and stigma brown fumated. Costal margin yellow brown with protruding granules. Basal area with brown mark at level of basal cell. Venation pattern: RA unbranched, RP 2-branched, cell C1b developed, cell C1ba absent, MP forked after nodal lines, MP 1+2 and MP 3+4 apically bifurcated into MP 1 , MP 2 , MP 3 , MP 4 terminals, CuA 2-branched, the forking of ScP+RA and RP distad of the forking of CuA 1 +CuA 2 , the forking of Pcu+A 1 basad of center of clavus, with nine apical cells. Legs. Legs, tibiae and tarsi yellow, hind tibia with three lateral spines. Meta-tibiotarsal formula: 6/6/5. Male genitalia. Anal segment ( Figs. 19, 23, 24, 25 ) asymmetrical, in dorsal view sub-ovate, longer than wide, slender, right lateral margin arched, convex, left lateral margin wavy. Anal style finger-shaped, beyond anal segment. Pygofer ( Figs. 19, 20, 25 ) without a medio-ventral process, replaced by two small projections. In left lateral view, left margin sub-triangular in outline, asymmetrical, with several setae along apical margin; In right lateral view, the outer borders of pygofer with a semi-circular furrow-like sulcus near middle. Gonostyli ( Figs. 21, 22, 26, 27 ) in lateral view, thumb-shaped. Outer margin slightly arched, concave, with many setae, shaft short, a deep excavation present between shaft and dilated apex, the inner margin rounded, with short setae. Basal dorsolateral angle of dilated apex ( Emljanov 2001 ) with a tusk-like tooth. Aedeagus screw-shaped. Endosoma (= flagellum) convoluted with two sinuations, a right lateral one ( Fig. 26 ) and a left lateral one ( Fig. 27 ). Aedeagus in total with 7 sclerotized processes. In right lateral view, apex of right lateral sinuation of endosoma has a long rodlike process (1), slightly round and dilated, directed left-caudally. Basal area of endosoma with a sclerotized, basally sheet-like process divided into two processes, inner one (4) longer, tusk-like, directed ventro-cephally; the outer one (3) short and pointed. Ventral margin of endosoma with a tusk-like process (2), sheet-like, curved and directed cephalad. In left lateral view, middle area of left lateral sinuation of endosoma, with a foliaceous process (5), broader, curving and directed dorso-caudally. Distal end of aedeagus with a big S-shaped process (6) with tongue-like apex. A spoon-like basiventral process (7) arising from basal 1/3 of periandrium, directed cephalad. Female genitalia. Unknown. Material examined. Holotype : male, CHINA , Guangxi Prov., Huaping County ( 24°34′N , 106°17′E ), Alt 550–600m , 24.VII.2014 , Rui-Kai Bai ( NWAFU ); paratype : 1 male , CHINA , Guangxi Prov., Lingyun County ( 24°35′N , 106°55′E ), Alt 600–700m , 15.VIII.2014 , Rui-Kai Bai ( NWAFU ). Etymology . The specific epithet is named after the county in Guangxi , the type locality. Distribution: China ( Guangxi ). Host plant: Artemisia argyi H. Lév. & Vaniot. (Asteraceae) Biology. I. huapingensis sp. nov. occurs in two different districts of the Guangxi Province in China : Huaping National Nature Reserve (HNNR) of Huaping County in the northeast of Guangxi Province at about 500m to 1800m a.s.l and Cenwanglao mountain National Nature Reserve ( CNNR ) of Lingyun County in the northwest of Guangxi Province , close to the southeast boundaries of Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau , at 210m to 2000m a.s.l. All the specimens were collected in hand-held sweep nets. In the HNNR , the specimens were collected near the foot of Tianping Mountain at elevations between 550m to 600m . In the CNNR , the specimens were collected from the side of a mountain road of Cengwanglao Mountain at an elevation between 600m to 700m .
