Description.

Color and external features as in generic description, Face yellowish. Pronotum yellowish with two orange arcuate bands, middle part of the second band not connected (Fig. 1 C View Figure 1 ). Vertex slightly more than 1.9 × wider than its median length, medially 1.5 × shorter than median length of pronotum. Pronotum nearly 2.2 × maximum width than median length (Fig. 1 D View Figure 1 ).

Male genitalia. Pygofer side wide basally, apex narrow, with numerous macrosetae on posterior area (Fig. 2 A View Figure 2 ). Anal tube short (Fig. 2 A View Figure 2 ). Valve subtriangular, nearly 1.5 × as broad as median length (Fig. 2 B View Figure 2 ). Subgenital plate with 8 macrosetae along lateral margin, length of outer margin about 1.75 × width of base (Fig. 2 B View Figure 2 ). Aedeagus with a pair of moderately long slender pointed processes arising from ventral margin near base; shaft tubular, distally tapered to acute apex, without processes; dorsal apodeme elongate, bifurcate distally (Fig. 2 C, D View Figure 2 ). Connective Y-shaped, stem very short (Fig. 2 C, D View Figure 2 ). Style broad basally, apical process short, curved and tapered to apex (Fig. 2 F View Figure 2 ).

Female genitalia. Seventh sternite with posterior margin distinctly concave medially, concavity somewhat distinctly extended posteriorly in midline and sharply cleft (Fig. 3 B View Figure 3 ). Pygofer with ventroposterior margin incurved (Fig. 3 A View Figure 3 ). First valvulae of ovipositor with dorsal sculpture strigate (Fig. 3 C, D View Figure 3 ). Second valvulae with denticles in distal half, prominent, gradually becoming smaller distally, apex rounded (Fig. 3 E, F View Figure 3 ).

Note.

The original figures of Li and Wang (2005) are poor, e. g., lacking the aedeagus in ventral view and dorsal apodeme described as the aedeagal shaft. Here, the male genitalia structures are illustrated and redescribed (see also figures in Wei et al. 2025).
