description: <i>Wroughtonia coffeana</i>, sp. nov. Figures 27–37 TYPE MATERIAL: Holotype, &amp;female;, <b>“Hel.</b> 076” (IEBR), NW Vietnam: Son La, coffee orchard, M[alaise] T[rap], 21°18′06″N 103°55′36″E, 663 m, 01.v.2017, K.D. Long. DISTRIBUTION: NW Vietnam: Son La. BIOLOGY: Unknown. DIAGNOSIS: Antenna with 32 segments; antennal segments 11–14 cream white; maxillary palp short, 1.1 <b>×</b> length of head; in dorsal view width of head 1.6 <b>×</b> its median length; height of eye 2.4 <b>×</b> temple; frontal protuberance acute, slightly higher than lateral frontal carina. Mesosoma 2.3 <b>×</b> longer than high; notauli crenulated, fused posteriorly with transversely rugose area; propodeum with basal carina and areola; areola and propodeum medially areolate-rugulose, coriaceous basally and apically. Length of forewing 3.3 <b>×</b> its maximum width; vein 3-SR slightly longer vein r; vein 2-M 2.6 <b>×</b> 3-SR; hind wing vein 1-M 0.7 <i>×</i> vein 1r-m; vein 2-SC+R transverse; hind wing with 3 hamuli. Foretarsus 1.4 <b>×</b> as long as foretibia; hind femur only with ventral serrations; length of hind femur (without serrations) 3.7 <b>×</b> its maximum width; outer side of hind coxa almost smooth, with scattered fine punctures; hind femur rugose-punctate. First metasomal tergite widened from base to apex, length 1.1 <i>×</i> its apical width (fig. 34); first tergite with dorsal carinae in basal 0.9 of tergite; median length of second tergite 0.55 <i>×</i> as long as its basal width; second tergite slightly longer than third tergite; first tergite nearly smooth basally and laterally, foveate-rugulose medioapically; second suture distinct; second tergite punctate laterally and foveate-punctate medially; third tergite smooth. NOTES: <i>W. coffeana,</i> sp. nov., runs out in couplet 3 of the key by Yan et al. (2017), because of the following characters: frontal protuberance near antennal sockets blunt dorsally; scapus densely setose ventrally; ventral margin of hind femur without tooth-shaped protuberance and only with serrations; first metasomal tergite pale yellow and smaller (body length 4.3 mm).

ETYMOLOGY: Named after the plant genus <i>Coffea</i> Linnaeus, because the new species was collected in a Malaise trap set in a coffee orchard.
