Supraanal plate tapering toward apex; subanal plate broad, almost truncated apically, shorter than supraanal plate. Cerci slender, longer than anal plates.</p><p>Etymology.</p><p>The specific epithet refers to the type locality, Emeishan.</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>China (Sichuan Province).</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>As far as we know, Terrobittacus emeishanicus sp. nov. is probably the largest species of the genus, at least in terms of wingspan. The new species is similar to T. longisetus Tan &amp; Hua, 2009 in body color and male genitalia, but can be differentiated from the latter by following features: numerous prominent markings on the wing (cf. no prominent markings); male epandrial appendages tapering toward the apex (cf. male epandrial appendages broad); male cerci slightly expanded distally (cf. thickening toward apex); and a V-shaped carina along the midventral line of the female subgenital plate (cf. X-shaped).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/6EBE1E6C435359FCBC9E56BFAB5D0C2B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.
