Description. Head, pronotum and scutellum yellow brown, with any light little pit. Median length of vertex slightly longer than half width between eyes ( Fig. 7a View FIGURE 7 ). Pronotum rectangular, anterior margin slightly convex, lateral margins oblique, slightly divergent posteriorly, posterior margin wavy ( Fig. 7a View FIGURE 7 ). Scutellum ( Fig. 7a View FIGURE 7 ) triangular, shorter than pronotum, about as long as median carina of crown. Front half face dark brown, back half dirty yellow ( Fig. 7c View FIGURE 7 ). Forewing with some black or brown spots on veins ( Fig. 7a, b View FIGURE 7 ).

Male pygofer oval, with long posterior process from ventral margin ( Fig. 8a View FIGURE 8 ). Aedeagus shaft compressed, curved dorsally, with three long ventral processes arising from basal area ( Fig. 8c, d View FIGURE 8 ). Style long, anterior portion shorter than caudal portion, caudal portion robust, apex recurved medioventrally ( Fig. 8c, d View FIGURE 8 ). Connective T-shaped with dorsomedial keel ( Fig. 8c, d View FIGURE 8 ). Other characteristics are as shown in Fig. 8 View FIGURE 8 .

Measurement. Length (including tegmen): ♂, 6.8 mm.

Hosts. Unknown.

Type Material. Holotype ♂, CHINA: Guangxi, Chongzuo, Nonggang , 8 May 2012, coll. Fan Li; 2♂♂, CHINA: Guangxi, Chongzuo, Nonggang , 8 May 2012, coll. Fan Li.

Remarks. This species is similar to Midoria emmrichi (Zhang & Yang) , but can be distinguished by the shape of the male pygofer side, the shape of the aedeagal shaft processes and the number of ventral processes of aedeagus ( Fig. 8c, d View FIGURE 8 ).

Etymology. The species name refers to the number of ventral processes of aedeagus.
