Kamimuria miaolingensis Du & Wang, 2007 View in CoL , Insects from Leigongshan Landscape, 86–87; Stark & Sivec, 2013: 117; Yang & Li, 2018: 31.

Male. Colouration generally brown ( Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 ). The head is brown with three ocelli, ocellar patch dark brown (color faded due to prolonged storage in alcohol). Antenna brown; palpi pale brown. Pronotum brown with scattered rugosities. Wing membranes pale yellow, veins yellow-brown.

Body length 16–16.5 mm (n = 2). Tergum 1–7 unmodified. Tergum 8 sometimes contains a few sensilla basiconica in its central region. Tergum 9 features a sensilla basiconica patch extending to near the anterior margin. The hemitergal lobe is slender and finger-like, with the apex slightly recurved, reaching the posterior margin of tergum 9 ( Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 ).

The penis is membranous, with a small square sclerite at the center of the ventral surface of the proximal part of the penile tube ( Fig. 5A, C View FIGURE 5 ). The base and dorsal apex of the endophallus are adorned with numerous large spines, with those at the dorsal apex being rhombic in shape. A narrow, spine-free longitudinal region runs along the middle of the ventral surface of the endophallus, ending a spine-free membranous projection at its apex.

Female, egg and nymph. Unknown.

Material examined. Holotype: 1 male ( ICYZU), China: Guizhou Province, Leishan County, Leigongshan National Forest Park, Lianhua Ping , 27.3021°N, 106.3247°E, 1450–1620 m, 2005.IX.13-15, Chunxia Xiao, Jinyu Zheng GoogleMaps . Paratype: 1 male ( ICYZU), same data as holotype GoogleMaps .

Distribution. China ( Guizhou).

Remarks. Due to the type material being preserved in alcohol for nearly 20 years, the membranous projection at the apex of the ventral side of the penis has shrunk into a mass, and the sclerite along the penile shaft are no longer clearly visible. We selected the well-preserved paratype for clear images of the penis to facilitate future identification efforts, thereby making the process more convenient and efficient ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 ).
