Abstract

Echo perornata Yu & Hämäläinen, spec. nov. (holotype ♂, China, Xizang Autonomous Region [Tibet], Motuo [Medog], alt. 850m, 1 vii 1983) is described and illustrated for both sexes. The new species has a pale pterostigma shaped quite similarly to that of Echo margarita Selys, 1853, but it differs in wing colour pattern and structure of the penis. E. margarita is recorded from China (Yunnan, Ruili) for the first time.
