Uzeldikra longiprocessa sp. nov.

Figs. 8–17.

Body proportions resmble Uzeldikra grisea , but smaller. Body yellow, wings yellowish. Pair of longitudinal streaks at sides of coronal suture and another on pronotum, two patches at the centre of scutum, small irregularly shaped patches at anterior margin of scutellum, whitish. Vertex produced apically, shorter than half length of pronotum in male. Forewing slightly semitransparent. First apical cell much larger than others. A roundish patch in 2nd apical cell at MP+ CuA' vein dark brown. Abdominal apodemes well developed, extended to middle of sternite 5th.

Male genitalia: Anal tube broad. Pygofer with one macroseta at upper margin. Subgenital plate broad, apex exceeding to the anal tube, with 5–6 macroseta along outer margin. Paramere short, blunt terminally. Penis with distal process longer than stem. Gonopore apical, with circle of unpigmented cuticular outgrowths.

Female genitalia: Hind margin of seventh sternite with medial lobe.

Measurement: Male 3.3–3.4 mm (including wing); Female 3.5–3.7 mm (including wing).

Material examined: Holotype ♂, CHINA: Hunan Prov., Mt. Hengshan, 11 August 1983; Paratype: 7♂ 3Ψ, Hunan Prov., Mt. Hengshan, 8 August 1983; ♂, Hunan Prov., Mt. Hengshan, 10 August 1983; 29♂ 36Ψ, Hunan Prov., Mt. Hengshan, 11 August 1983; all collected by Zhang Yalin and Chai Yonghui.

Remarks: The new species resembles U. grisea , but can be distinguished from the latter by: 1) body smaller; 2) male vertex shorter than half of pronotal length; 3) penis with distal process longer than stem.

Etymology: The specific name is derived from the Latin words “ longe” and “ process”, referring to the long process of the penis.
