Measurements. Body length males: 5.5–6.7 mm, females: 6.1–7.8 mm.
Distribution. China (Sichuan, Yunnan).
Remark. According to Medvedev (1988), the posterior angles of pronotum are not clearly angular, so it was transferred to the genus Aetheomorpha, but this species with dense short hair between eyes and robust legs, which are the distinct characteristics of Diapromorpha, so we maintain it in the genus Diapromorpha.
