( Figs. 25–33 ; j–l)

Description. Body length male 2.8 mm. Dorsum (Figs. J–l) milk yellow. Head ( Figs. 25 , j) slightly narrower than pronotum, anterior margin angulately produced medially. Crown and pronotum with symmetrical orange red spots. Eyes (Figs. J–l) blackish grey. Face (Fig. l) long and narrow, brownish yellow, several orange red stripes scattered at lower part of clypeus and above antennae. Mesonotum ( Figs. 25 , j) with red apex, basal triangles brownish, with red streaks around its margin. Fore wing ( Figs. 26 , j, k) brownish white, with darkened apex, with several orange red patches and some other small light brown spots.

Abdominal apodemes ( Fig. 27 ) extending to anterior margin of 4th sternite.

Male Genitalia. Pygofer lobe ( Fig. 28 ) broad, with several long macrosetae at basal lower angle and sparse long fine setae, short rigid macrosetae near caudal margin on inner surface. Pygofer dorsal appendage ( Fig. 28 ) immovably fused with pygofer lobe, but with line of weakness at base, bifurcate near apex, slightly expanded basally. Anal tube ( Fig. 28 ) with process concave apically. Subgenital plate ( Fig. 29 ) long, wide basally, tapering towards apex, acutely narrowed subapically, (maybe, not fully developed in studied specimen), numerous short rigid setae uniseriate along upper margin, 3 long macrosetae situated on outer surface. Style ( Fig. 30 ) with apex truncate. Aedeagus ( Figs. 31, 32 ) complex, with three pairs of appendages and one unpaired process; one pair arising near apex dorsally and has serrated anterior margin, processes are flattened and look like bird wings in ventral view; single short toothlike process extended on the same level with previous appendages on ventral side of aedeagal shaft; two ventral pairs of appendages: short pair at base of shaft and long pair (much longer than shaft) on preatrium. Preatrium quite short, dorsal apodeme short, slightly expanded in lateral view. Gonopore ( Figs. 31, 32 ) apical, ventral. Connective ( Fig. 33 ) U-shaped.

Specimens examined. Holotype ♂: China, Guizhou Prov., Guiyang, Longdongbao, at light, 23 June 2008, coll. Can Li.

Diagnosis. This species can be distinguished from all the other species by the unique aedeagus with three pairs of appendages and a single toothlike process on the ventral side of the aedeagal shaft. Etymology. The specific epithet is named for the type locality, Guiyang, Guizhou Prov.
