Holotype (c?) : Jihti, 30 miles east of Tachienlu, Si- 
kang ; Sept. 2, 1939 ; F. Y. Cheng, Io Chou and Tein Ho 
Hei; in my own collection.

Body light brown ; vertex entirely black ; rostrum light 
brown with sooty brown stripe on each side; pronotum 
sooty brown, meso- and meta-notum sooty brown on the 
median portion; the 1st to 5th abdominal segments of 
male sooty brown dor sally, last few abdominal segments 
brown in color, median process of third abdominal ter- 
gite short with swollen and truncated apex, not extend- 
ing beyond the middle of the fourth tergite. Under this 
process, there is a small median process and a pair of 
lateral processes; the fourth tergite is provided with a 
concave area on its anterior portion. Fore wing : length, 
0.7 mm. ; width, 3.8 mm. ; membrane light gray, no mark- 
ings present, R2a usually forked into R2al and R2a2 ; pter- 
ostigma prominent. Hind wing : length, 15.8 mm. ; width, 
3.8 mm. ; similar to fore wing. genitalia : genital bulb 
slender ; coxopodites long, narrow distally, bearing many 
long hairs ; harpagones rather short, the outer margin 
convex basally, furnished with a series of short barbs at 
the middle, inner margin with a large basal lobe with 
two tooth-like processes, hypandrium broad, hypovalvae 
wide apart basally, slightly overlapping each other dis- 
tally, the basal outer margins greatly convex and strongly 
sclerotized, parameres simple, lanceolate; preepiproct 
slender, with median concaved margins, the distal outer 
portions extended laterad, forming large, distal, tooth- 
like processes; aedeagus rather small, both apical proc-
