Body infuscate (Figs 19, 23). Face with frontoclypeal area, lorum and lower half of gena brown, inner parts of gena and anteclypeus black-brown, transverse streaks on postclypeus area dark brown (Fig. 31). Vertex testaceous near coronal suture. Pronotum with 5 patches black-brown, and remaining parts suffused with ochre. Most of scutellum red ochre, triangles dark brown (Fig. 27). Forewing with basal half covered with 2 banded brown patches and brochosome field reddish; apical half with patches smoky infuscate; brochosome field reddish (Figs 19, 114).

Abdominal apodemes reaching end of 4th abdominal sternite. Male pygofer side with 2 bands of fine moderate setae near posterior margin, and a short horn-like appendage directed dorsad on posterior margin (Figs 115, 116). Subgenital plate with some long fine setae terminally on outer side, and a small protrusion at narrowing subapical part (Figs 117, 118). Paramere slender with subapical protrusion small (Figs 117, 119). Connective with stem nearly as long as lateral arms and central lobe indistinct (Fig. 117). Aedeagal shaft slender with a small lamellar ventral extension terminally, a trifurcate ventral appendage near basal 1/3 with 2 branches directed upwards and shortest lower branch directed downwards (Figs 120, 121).

Specimens examined. Holotype: ♂, CHINA, Sichuan Province, Moxi, 1600m, Alnus nepalensis, 4-XI-1999, coll. I. Dworakowska. Paratype: 1♂, same data as holotype; 3♂ 1♀, CHINA, Sichuan Province, Moxi, 1600m, Alnus nepalensis, 5-XI-1999, coll. I. Dworakowska; 1♂, CHINA, Sichuan Province, Moxi, 1650m, Alnus nepalensis, 5- XI-1999, coll. I. Dworakowska.

Etymology. The specific name is derived from Latin compound word “longisagittata which means “long arrow, referring to the long arrow-shaped caudal end of the paramere (Fig. 119).

Notes. The new species resembles Agnesiella (Draberiella) savita, but differs in the aedeagal shaft with branches of the ventral appendage straighter and all branches arising from a common stem (Fig. 120).
