Halter yellow.
Abdomen (Fig. 28) yellow, male tergites 3−6 each with brown posterior margin. Male genitalia (Figs 30−34): Syntergosternite 7+8 circular; epandrium broad and slightly swollen subapically in lateral view; surstylus with a small triangluar process with several setulae in lateral view; hypandrium H-shaped and hypandrial apodeme short; pregonite shorter than postgonite, both of them sharp at apex; phallus with a pair of sharp teeth-like processes at middle in ventral view and small sharp dorsal processes subapically in lateral view; phallapodeme longer than phallus.
FEMALE. Unknown.
Type material. Holotype ♂ (IMAU), CHINA, Shanxi Province, Foping County, Daguping, 1329.2 m, 24. VIII. 2014, Xiumei Lu. Paratype (IMAU): 1♂, data same as holotype.
Distribution. China (Shaanxi).
Remarks. The new species is similar to Homoneura (Homoneura) acutata Yang, Zhu & Hu, 1999 from China (Henan), but the latter has the following features: the mesonotum having acrostichal setulae in 10 rows and the surstylus having sharp apex pointing downwards, and the phallus lacking pairs of teeth-like processes.
Etymology. The new species is named after the collecting locality Daguping.
