description: 19) Impatiophila forcipivalva Fu & Gao, sp. nov.
(Fig. 29; Pl. 3B; Pl. 6Q)
Diagnosis. Setae of middle row on 2nd costal section all weak, trichoid. Hindleg tibia with 1 black, apically blunt, stout spine at outer apex on underside. Tenth sternite 1/2 as wide as long, slightly wider dorsally, slightly concave on lateral margins, medially projected on dorsal margin (Fig. 29 D). Oviscapt valve distally narrowing in ventral view, without distinct lateral flap (Fig. 29 H). Spermathecal capsule with small warts on outer surface (Pl. 6Q).
Description (♂, ♀). Head: Cibarium with 2−3 medial and 3−4 posterior sensilla per side.
Thorax (Pl. 3B): Postpronotum yellowish brown; scutum blackish brown, dorsocentrally with 4 blurry, pale, longitudinal stripes; scutellum blackish brown, with 1 pair of yellowish brown, longitudinal stripes near lateral margins; pleura pale brown.
Wing (Pl. 3B) hyaline; veins yellowish brown. C1 setae 2, subequal. Haltere pale yellow.
Legs (Pl. 3B) yellow.
Abdomen (Pl. 3B): Tergites each with broad, pale brown caudal band. Sternites pale yellow; male VI somewhat quadrate, slightly wider than long, nearly straight on posterior margin.
Male terminalia (Fig. 29 A −F): Epandrium pubescent on dorsal 1/4 only, ventrally with ca. 15 long setae; caudoventral portion apically somewhat pointed, with ca. 23 short, stout setulae. Surstylus with 3 setae in addition to 2 stout, upturned prensiseta at and above caudodorsal corner, 5 apically converging prensisetae along distal margin and 2 short setae near ventral apex. Cercus sparsely pubescent in small patch on anteromedial portion, with ca. 17 long setae. Hypandrium somewhat triangular, 2/3 as wide as long. Gonopod apically somewhat triangular, moderately protruded. Paramere distally somewhat triangular in lateral view, shorter than twice of width, with 7 sensilla. Aedeagal basal process 2/3 as long as paramere.
Female terminalia (Fig. 29 G, H; Pl. 6Q): Oviscapt valve gently curved on dorsosubapical margin and less expanded dorsomedially in lateral view, with 5−6 dorsal ovisensilla, 10 lateral ones in slightly convex (in ventral view) row on apicolateral portion and 8−9 distally slightly increasing in size on distally concave, ventral margin. Spermathecal capsule brown; introvert depth of duct about 1/2 of capsule height.
