description: Pseudopelmatops angustifasciatus Zia & Chen   
(Figs. 5, 14, 22, 29, 36, 44, 50)  
 Pseudopelmatops angustifasciatus Zia & Chen, 1954: 310. Type-locality: Tianmushan, Zhejiang [Chekiang]; Shaowu [Shao-Woo], Fujian [Fukien], China. Lectotype female and three paralectotypes designated by Wang, 1996 in IZCAS. — Hardy, 1977: 76. — Wang, 1996: 112.   
 Diagnosis. This species is readily differentiated from other Pseudopelmatops by wing largely hyaline with a narrow brownish-black costal band and a narrow brownish-black band extending from crossvein R-M to middle of cu 1 and connecting to the costal band anteriorly (Fig. 29).   
 Description. Body length 12.0–15.0 mm; wing length 9.5–11.0 mm. The body usually predominantly dark brown to black and sub-shining (Fig. 5).   
 Head (Figs. 14, 22): dark brown to black except middle of frons with a very narrow yellow longitudinal stripe, the ventral 1/2 of face, parafacial and palpus yellow to yellow-brown. Palpus narrow, parallel-sided and densely covered with strong, black setulae. Chaetotaxy reduced: head with orbital, medial vertical and genal setae present; postocellar, lateral vertical, ocellar, frontal setae absent. Antenna almost equal to face, with 1 st flagellomere about 1/4–1/3 as wide as long, and dorsoapically slightly sharp; arista plumose, longest ray slightly shorter or about equal to width of 1 st flagellomere.   
Thorax entirely dark brown to black except scutum with two slightly broad grayish-white microtrichose longitudinal stripes, halter yellow. Chaetotaxy reduced: only 1 notopleural, 1 postalar and 1 apical scutellar setae present.  
 Wing (Fig. 29). Largely hyaline with a narrow brownish-black costal band (posterior margin not in cells br and r 4+5) and a narrow brownish-black crossband extending from crossvein R-M to middle of cu 1 and connect to the costal band anteriorly; pterostigma yellow-brown, narrow and long, about 0.97 –1.00 times as long as cell c. Vein R 4+5 bare or only with 1–2 setulae beyond crossvein R-M.   
Legs. Slender and long. Coxa, trochanter and the basal 2/3 of femora dark brown, other parts yellow brown.  
Abdomen elongate with tergites 1–2 dark brown and other tergites reddish-brown or yellow-brown; tergites 1–2 nearly parallel-sided and almost equal to the combined length of tergites 3 and 4.  
Female terminalia: Oviscape yellow-brown, tapering and somewhat cylindrical; width to length ratio 0.35; oviscape length to tergites 4–6 ratio about 0.55. Aculeus parallel-sided and nearly rectangular in general shape, 2.9 times as long as wide, 0.40 times as long as oviscape, with a small and blunt apex, apicolaterally not serrated (Fig. 36). Eversible membrane with 2 pairs taenia; taenia slender, about as long as denticles part; denticles larger on basal half of membrane, gradually decreasing in size distally, larger basal ones nearly divided into 2 columns, smaller denticles on distal half not divided; similar dorsally and ventrally (Fig. 50). Three pale, oblong spermathecae present (Fig. 44).  
Male. Unknown.  
 Distribution. China (Hubei, Hunan, Zhejiang, Fujian, Sichuan, Guizhou). Guizhou is a new province record for this species.
