description: Leucophenga hirsutina Huang & Chen, sp. nov.
(Figs 3 C, 6E, 6F, 9B, 12E, 12F, 26)
Diagnosis. This species is very similar to L. apunctata sp. nov. in the patterns of wing and abdominal tergites (Fig. 9 B), but can be distinguished from the latter by having the mesonotum nearly brownish yellow (Fig. 6 E), the paramere acute basally and apically (Fig. 26 C), the aedeagus reticulated medially (Fig. 26 D).
Description. Ocellar triangle dark brown, with ca. 5–6 setae above ocellar setae. Frons brown to dark brown. Pedicel brownish; first flagellomere yellowish brown. Face yellow above, brown below. Clypeus brown to dark brown. Postpronotal lobe yellow. Acrostichal setulae in ca. 12 irregular rows (Fig. 6 E). Scutellum yellowish brown, yellow at tip (Fig. 6 E). Katepisternum brownish yellow (Fig. 6 F). Meron yellowish brown (Fig. 6 F). Wing (Fig. 3 C): Costal vein between R2+3 and R4+5 distally with ca. 10 peg-like spinules on ventral surface. Abdominal tergites dark brown to black (Fig. 9 B); second yellow medially; third with a pair of yellow patches submedially on anterior margin; fourth with 2 pairs of yellow patches submedially; sixth with yellow patch posteriorly. Male terminalia: Epandrium with numerous (ca. 29) setae per side (Fig. 26 A). Hypandrium with 1 sensillum (Fig. 26 B). Paramere with ca. 3 sensilla and several pubescence distally (Fig. 26 C). Aedeagus ventrad curved distally and nearly square apically, with 1 small projection subapically (Fig. 26 D).
