Wing (Fig. 2) 3.6 times as long as wide, subhyaline; wing marked with two narrow bands as follows: median band extending from basal of Rs to middle section of CuA; subapical band broadest along anterior margin of wing, covering pterostigma, and extending to tip of M2; veins brown; venation: Sc ending in C not at level of basal 1/3 of R2+3; Rs short, about 1/2 as long as r-m. Haltere yellow with brown hairs. Prehaltere yellow.

Abdominal terga mostly yellow, except posterior margins of 1st to 4th terga dark brown. Sterna uniformly yellow. Hairs on abdomen brown. Male genitalia (Figs. 3–6): Epandrium with a pair of posterior projections, each projection broadest at base, tapering medially, suddenly coarsening and curved distally, with black hairs.

Gonocoxite swollen ventrally. Gonostylus broad at base, with a fingerlike projection, tapered apically, with dense hairs; medial part with a finger-like projection dorsally, an elliptic projection ventrally; gonostylus narrowed, round at apex.

Type material. HOLOTYPE: 3, CHINA, Yunnan, Banna, Menglun, 2007. IV. 24, Wenliang Li. PARATYPE: 13, CHINA, Yunnan, Banna, Menglun, 630 m, 2009. VI. 6, Guoquan Wang.

Distribution. China (Yunnan).

Etymology. The specific name refers to the type locality Banna.

Remarks. This new species is very special and distinctly different from the known species in China in the following points: wings with only two inerratic bands; gonostylus distinctly long; hypandrium with two patches of long dense hairs basally. In other species, these characteristics have not been observed.
