Type material. Holotype, ♂, Xishan Mountain, Kunming city, Yunnan Province, 14 Oct. 2010, coll. Mao-fa Yang. Paratypes, 1♂, same data as the holotype ; 1♂, Wenshan country, Yunnan Province, 23 Nov. 2016, light trap, coll. Yalin Yao.

Etymology. The species name refers to the digitiform (finger-like), ventral appendage of the pygofer.

Remarks. This species closely resembles Agnesiella ( D.) farida Dworakowska, 1994 and Agnesiella ( D.) alni Sharma & Malhotra, 1981, but differs in having the ventral pygofer appendage curved dorsad and ventral lamella of the aedeagus without a flange. Also, there are just five black patches on the pronotum, fewer than in A. ( D.) alni but the appendage of the pygofer is longer.
