Diagnosis
This species resembles A. basalis in disk of pronotum with anterior half crimson-brown and posterior half yellowish-white, but can be distinguished by the following characters: 1) tegmina without black markings in Anaplecta bicolor Deng & Che sp. nov., the base of tegmina with black markings in A. basalis; 2) phallomere with a cluster of setae in former, the latter without; 3) L2d and L2vm absent in former, present in latter.
Etymology
The specific name is derived from the Latin word ‘ bicolor ’ and refers to the pronotum with the anterior half crimson-brown and the posterior half yellowish white.
