Wing with tiny hairs at margin. Halteres yellowish, except edge of tip brown. </p>
            <p>Abdomen with all tergites dark brown, except posterior margin with narrow pale brown band, and with yellow posterolaterally. Sternites yellowish mostly, except yellowish brown centrally, and pale laterally.</p>
            <p> Male genitalia brown and black (Figs 6-8). Epandrium brown except edge black, nearly as long as wide, cercus well exposed, narrow and long, tip acutely in ventral view; gonocoxa L-shaped, nearly 2  × longer than wide, with acute tip, gonostylus triangular with acute tip in lateral view; aedeagal apodeme base semicircle, extremely long, and narrowly apically, with acute tip in dorsal view, aedeagal apodeme arch in lateral view; epiphallus pentagonal, with narrow tip in dorsal view, epiphallus tip sickle-shaped in laterally view. </p>
            <p>Female. Body length 1.2-1.7 mm, wing length 1-1.2 mm. Female genitalia (Figs 12, 13) furca subtriangular, 1.7 higher than wide, with concavity at middle of bottom; spermathecal bulb subglobular when viewed on edge, nearly rectangular in lateral view, invaginated apically, subquadrate in form, slightly wider than deep in lateral view.</p>
            <p> Type material. </p>
            <p>Holotype male, CHINA: Yunnan Deqin Benzilan (28°21'18.91"N, 99°12'52.20"E), 08-18. XI. 2017, Yan Qin; Paratype female, CHINA: Yunnan Deqin Benzilan (28°21'18.91"N, 99°12'52.20"E), 08-18. XI. 2017, Yan Qin; 29 males 12 females, CHINA: Yunnan Deqin Benzilan (28°21'18.91"N, 99°12'52.20"E), 08-18. XI. 2017, Yan Qin.</p>
            <p>Distribution.</p>
            <p>China (Yunnan).</p>
            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p>The specific name refers to the epiphallus pentagonal in dorsal view.</p>
            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p> The new species is similar to  E. legulicoxa Gharali &amp; Evenhuis, 2010 (Iran), but it can be separated from the latter by the following features: the frons and face are yellowish, except a cup-shaped brown area between frons and face; the katepisternum mostly black except for the upper 1/3, which is yellow; the abdomen with all tergites is dark brown, except the posterior margin, which has a pale brown narrow band, and laterally, which is yellow posteriorly. In  E. legulicoxa , the frons is yellowish white, and slightly depressed medially with a large squarish brown spot medially, and the lower 3/4 of the katepisternum is yellowish white; the abdomen is predominantly yellow and with medial brown color dorsally, tergites  I–III are brown with undulating posterior margins (Babak et al. 2010). </p>
