Indolipa huapingensis
sp. nov.
(
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

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.

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
.
