Prays inconspicua Yu et Li, 2004: 16. TL: China (Henan). TD: NKU.

Type material. CHINA: Holotype ♂, Henan Province: Ganshan [34.70°N, 111.10°E], Shan County, 1100 m, 1.VI.2000, coll. Meicai Wei, genitalia slide No. YHL00259.

Diagnosis. Adul (Fig. 19) with wingspan 12.0–14.0 mm. The male genitalia of P. inconspicua are close to those of P. acinacea sp. nov. and P. gamma Moriuti, 1977 by having a pair of incurved socii with thorn-shaped distal part. Prays inconspicua can be distinguished from P. acinacea sp. nov. by the relatively narrow valva, and the aedeagus almost as long as the valva (Fig. 35), while in P. acinacea sp. nov., the valva is broad and the aedeagus is approximately 1.5 times the length of the valva; from P. gamma by the tegumen with the lateral band oblique outwards anteriorly, which is more or less oblique inwards in P. gamma (Moriuti, 1977: Plate XXII, fig. 250). In appearance, P. inconspicua is similar to P. dorsiprotrusa sp. nov., P. helanshana sp. nov. and P. delta Moriuti, 1977, and the differences are stated respectively under each of the latter three species.

Female genitalia (Fig. 45): Apophyses posteriores about three times length of apophyses anteriores. Lamella postvaginalis being a pair of adjacent triangular processes bearing long setae. Ostium bursae large and rounded.

Ductus bursae 2/5 length of corpus bursae, evenly sclerotized; ductus seminalis arising from connection between ductus bursae and corpus bursae. Corpus bursae nearly oviform; signum large, sub-quadrate, edged with denticles, placed close to posterior margin.

Distribution. China (Hebei, Henan, Liaoning).

Notes. The female is described for the first time.
