This species has been lacking a detailed and formal description. In past years we collected a male and four females of this species from Yunnan, China.In this paper, we describe both the adult male and female of this species in detail, especially providing diagnostic features of the antenna, ventrite and male aedeagus. We provide photographs of the dorsal and ventral view, habitat of both male and female adults, and figures detailing the diagnostic features of both male and female antenna, male abdominal ventrites and the male aedeagus. In addition, we discuss one intraspecific variation found in this species. This provides an important basis for correct identification of this species.展开更多
