Not sure on this distinct specimen, perhaps Niphona?
But looks like a Sthenias, although I am now aware that only Sthenias varius is found in Asia.

Data: 10-06-14 - Mt Ailaoshan 2300m - Xinping - Yunnan - China

Great stuff, the holotype appears to be Female, mine being a Male. Maybe they differ slightly in colouration?

My specimens are like your; the holotype is old (of course), and my picture overexposed.
