Agnesiella (Draberiella) galeata Wang & Liu & Zhang & Huang 2024, sp. nov.
Agnesiella (D.) galeata Wang & Huang sp. nov. (Figs 37–40, 58, 127–133) Measurement. Male, 3.20–3.40 mm (including wings). Description. Body light yellow (Figs 37, 38). Face largely pale brown, genae with cream colored outer margins (Fig. 40). Vertex pale brown in the middle. Pronotum largely light brown, with a black patch near anterior margin medially, and a nearly rounded black patch at each posterolateral angle; triangles light brown, scutellum light yellow (Fig. 39). Forewing basal 2/3 off-white, 2 small black patches at both ends of brochosome area (Fig. 58). Abdominal apodemes extending to apex of 5th abdominal sternite (Fig. 127). Male pygofer with a long fine setal group near posterior margin, another setal group from middle to basoventral angle, several small rigid setae along slightly protruded posterodorsal margin; a digitiform pygofer process on posterior margin, slightly sinuate basally (Figs 128, 129). Subgenital plate with distal part bearing some long fine setae and small rigid setae, with a distinct protrusion subapically (Fig. 130). Style with a very small subapical process (Fig. 131). Connective stem about as long as lateral arms, with a prominent central lobe (Fig. 130). Aedeagal shaft slender, distinctly bent at middle, gradually thickening towards slightly swollen apex, with a digitiform ventral process gradually curving towards apex subapically (Figs 132, 133). Specimens examined. Holotype: ♂, CHINA, Yunnan Province, Gongshan Derung and Nu Autonomous County, Dulongjiang Town, 1430m, 14 Jun 2019, coll. Lü Lin. Paratype: 3♂ 2♀, same data as holotype. Remarks. The new species is similar to A. (D.) decorta in the digitiform ventral process of the aedeagal shaft, but differs in the following characteristics: apex of pygofer process curved ventrally (Figs 128, 129); subapical process of style very small (Fig. 131); aedeagal shaft with ventral process gradually curving towards apex (Fig. 132). Etymology. This specific epithet is derived from the Latin word “galea”, referring to the hood-shaped apical part of the aedeagal shaft (Fig. 132).
