Ankylopteryx (A.) magnimaculata : Yang 1987: 204 (original: Ankylopteryx ; type locality: Dongjiong (China, Xizang, ä); holotype in CAU); Yang et al. 2005: 51 (key to Chinese species), 54 ( Ankylopteryx (Ankylopteryx) ).

Material examined.

Holotype ♂, Xizang, Zäyu, Dongjiong, 1570 m, 1978.VI.26, Li Fasheng (CAU).

Diagnosis.

Two brownish vittae on frons, clypeus, and labrum; gena with long brownish stripes contiguous with above vitta. Protibia and mesotibia with median markings. Forewing with pterostigma brown, extending over four crossveins; large brownish vittae present along posterior margins at basal third, enclosing over five veins on wing margin; first intramedian cell short and wide. General width of gonarcus narrow; entoprocessus attached near base of gonarcus, slightly longer than gonarcus; pseudopenis short and curved, about 1.5 times as long as entoprocessus.

Distribution.

China (Xizang).

Remarks.

This species can be distinguished from all the other species of Ankylopteryx (s. str.) from China by the large brownish vittae along posterior margin at basal third of both wings.
