Surstyli, inner lobe at most 1.19 times the length of the epandrium, lanceolate, gradually broadened towards the top; outer lobe shorter than inner lobe, curved, broader and quadrangle basally, light to long dark pile on basal half (Figs 10–12). Hypandrium shiny black and strongly sclerotized, elongated, tubular, broader basally and finer apically (Fig 14). Superior lobe as a narrow band, broad and rounded at apex. Aedeagus (Figs 14, 16) unsegmented, dorsal margin arcuated and formed an acute angle with ventral margin; ventral margin denticulate apically and joining basal margin approximately at right angle; aedeagal apodeme elongated triangles.</p><p>FEMALE. Unknown.</p><p>Etymology. The specific epithet refers to the type locality.</p><p>Distribution. Known only from Dabashan Mountains, Shaanxi Province, China.</p><p>Biology. Adults were collected in open areas of the Dabashan Mountains (107°23′E, 32°84′N, 600–680m asl) in 2021 (Fig.17).
