Description.

Body largely yellowish (Figs 13 View Figures 1–16 , 14 View Figures 1–16 ). Face mostly dark brown, frontoclypeal area with dark brown transverse stripes, lorum ivory (Fig. 16 View Figures 1–16 ). Vertex yellowish-brown medially, remaining parts yellowish, with a pair of blackish-brown patches. Pronotum with some blackish-brown patches, median area light brown; triangles dark brown, scutellum yellowish (Fig. 15 View Figures 1–16 ). Forewing with one brown patch each at middle and apical part in basal 2 / 3, apical 1 / 3 smoky brown, brochosome area pale yellow with a blackish-brown patch at each end (Fig. 20 View Figures 17–20 ).

Abdominal apodemes extending nearly to middle of 6 th abdominal sternite (Fig. 21 View Figures 21–26 ).

Male genitalia. Male pygofer with two longitudinal bands of long fine setae medially near ventral margin, and posterior band more elongate; posterior margin with a short horn-like pygofer process on the lower part, a medial cluster of small rigid setae (Fig. 22 View Figures 21–26 ). Subgenital plate with expanded distal part, bearing some long fine setae and small rigid setae; a distinct protrusion subapically with peg-like setae apically (Figs 22–24 View Figures 21–26 ). Paramere slender, with apex curving distinctly outward and a small subapical tooth on ventral margin (Figs 22 View Figures 21–26 , 23 View Figures 21–26 ). Connective with central lobe (Fig. 23 View Figures 21–26 ). Aedeagal shaft relatively straight, with lamellate lateral expansions (Figs 25 View Figures 21–26 , 26 View Figures 21–26 ); ventral margin with two intersecting processes at the middle: right process longer, extending to shaft apex, and left process curves leftward to the shaft in posterior view (Fig. 26 View Figures 21–26 ).

Specimens examined.

Holotype: China • ♂; Yunnan Prov., Puer, Ailaoshan National Nature Reserve ; 101°15'55.50"E, 24°16'32.83"N; 2200 m; 6 Jun. 2022; J. J. Wang; NWAFU GoogleMaps . Paratypes: 2 ♂♂, 1 ♀, same data as for holotype GoogleMaps • 5 ♂♂, 3 ♀♀; Yunnan Prov., Luchun, Huanglianshan National Nature Reserve ; 102°32'33.71"E, 23°2'2.24"N; 2050 m; 10 Jun. 2023; L. Lu; NWAFU GoogleMaps .

Measurement.

Males, 3.15–3.28 mm (including wing).

Etymology.

This specific epithet is derived from the Latin words “ gemini ” and “ crux ”, referring to the two intersecting processes on the ventral margin of the aedeagal shaft (Figs 25 View Figures 21–26 , 26 View Figures 21–26 ).

Remarks.

This new species closely resembles A. xantha Yan & Yang in the male genitalia, but can be distinguished by two intersecting ventral processes on the aedeagal shaft, each originating independently from the shaft (Figs 25 View Figures 21–26 , 26 View Figures 21–26 ).
