New material. 1 male, China, Yunnan province, Baoshan, Nankang, Gaoligong Nature Park, sweep-net, 24°49.729ʹN, 98°46.074ʹE, 11.V.2009, Su-Jiong Zhang [SM00900]; 1 male, China, Yunnan province, Tengchong, Jietou, Shaba, Mt. Tiantaishan, 1879 m, sweep-net, 25°24.115ʹN, 98°42.615ʹE, 12.V.2009, Su-Jiong Zhang [SM00867]; 1 male, 2142 m, 25°24.254ʹN, 98°42.735ʹE, 13.V.2009 [SM00873].

Diagnosis. The species may be distinguished by setose M and Cu1 on wings; the gonostylus deeply bilobed and having a long dorsal lobe with thick megasetae; and a distinct setose intercoxal lobe on the hypopygium.

Distribution. China (Yunnan, Fig. 24), Burma (Kambaiti).

Remarks. This species was first recorded in Kambaiti, Burma (Hippa & Vilkamaa 1991) and is new to China (Yunnan province). The Chinese specimens examined show no distinct differences from the type specimen, but have more megasetae on a wider dorsal lobe, a much wider tegmen and a smaller intercoxal lobe on the hypopygium.
