description: 45) Impatiophila maoershanensis Fu & Gao, sp. nov.
(Fig. 51; Pl. 5H; Pl. 7R)
Diagnosis. Abdominal tergite III unicolorously blackish brown (Pl. 5H). Hindleg tibia with 2−4 black, apically blunt, stout spines at outer apex on underside. Setae of middle row on 2nd costal section of wing all heavy, peglike, reaching or beyond tip of R2+3. Dorsal 2/3 of surstylus broad, strongly protruded posteriad, with 4−5 setae on dorsal margin and 3−4 stout, upturned prensiseta on distal margin (Fig. 51 A).
Description (♂, ♀). Head: Cibarium with 2−3 medial and 3−5 posterior sensilla per side: posterior sensilla slightly curved anteriad and anteromost one twice as long as posteromost, medial sensillum. Labellum with 6 pseudotracheae per side.
Thorax varying in color pattern from unicolorously blackish brown or black one (Pl. 5H) to pale-patterned one.
Wing (Pl. 5H) hyaline, slightly infuscate; veins brown. C1 setae 2, subequal. Haltere pale yellow.
Legs (Pl. 5H) yellowish brown. Hindleg tarsomeres I −IV each with 1 black, apically blunt, stout spine at outer apex on underside.
Abdomen: Tergites unicolorously dark brown to black (Pl. 5H), but varying on IV and V: some with caudal band medially neither interrupted/constricted nor protruded. Sternites grayish yellow; male VI somewhat quadrate, slightly longer than wide, nearly straight or slightly concave on posterior margin.
Male terminalia (Fig. 51 A −F): Epandrium pubescent in small patches on posteromedial portion, with ca 10 long setae on ventral half and ca. 21 short spines on caudoventral portion distally broadly rounded. Surstylus with 7 prensisetae along deeply concave, ventral margin but no seta near ventral apex. Tenth sternite somewhat trapeziform, narrowing anteriorly, slightly concave on dorsal margin. Cercus pubescent on anteromedial portion, with ca. 19 long setae. Hypandrium trapeziform, longer than wide, posteriorly dilated horizontally and vertically. Gonopod broad, apically widely blunt. Paramere broad, shorter than twice of width, apically round, with 8 sensilla. Aedeagal basal process slightly shorter than 2/3 length of paramere.
Female terminalia (Fig. 51 G, H; Pl. 7R). Oviscapt valve brown, apically much expanded in ventral view, forming well-developed lateral flap, gently curved on dorsosubapical margin, less expanded dorsomedially, somewhat convex on ventral margin in lateral view, with 4−5 dorsal ovisensilla, 12–13 lateral ones tightly arranged in nearly straight (in ventral view) row on margin of apicolateral flap and 5 ventral ones distally increasing in size and entirely arranged at nearly equal intervals; subapical trichoid ovisensillum stout, longer than apical, peg-like ovisensillum. Spermathecal capsule brown, wider than long, apically somewhat flat in lateral view; introvert depth of duct about 1/2 of capsule height.
