Description

Body brownish-yellow (Fig. 3 A). Head brownish-black (Fig. 3 A and D). Eyes black. Face brownish, anteclypeus brownish and frontoclypeus centrally dark brown with brownish lateral margins (Fig. 3 C and E). Pronotum brownish two sides black (Fig. 3 A and D). Scutellum black in whole (Fig. 3 A and D). Forewing faint brown (Fig. 3 A and C). Abdominal apodemes broad, extended to 4th sternite (Fig. 4 C).

Diagnosis

Male genitalia

Subgenital plate slightly concave near middle area, with three macrosetae on outer surface (Fig. 4 A). Style with two points at apex; pre-apical lobe obvious (Fig. 4 B). Aedeagal shaft almost straight and flat in lateral view, without any process; gonopore large, reaching 1/2 height of aedeagal shaft; dorsal apodeme small and pre-atrium well developed, as long as shaft (Fig. 4 D and G). Connective M-shaped, two lateral arms long, central lobe small (Fig. 4 F).

Measurement: Male length (including wing) 2.7 mm.

Etymology

The new species is named from the Latin word " Anufrievia unianxialis ", referring to the aedeagal shaft without serrated marginal lamellae apically.

Taxon discussion

This species is similar to A. crispata Tan, Jiang & Song, 2021, but can be distinguished by the aedeagal shaft without serrated marginal lamellae; without pair of small processes curved mesally under the gonopore and the connective with distinct central lobe.
