Diagnosis
This species is similar to Calliscelio absum, Calliscelio extenuatus, Calliscelio minutia and Calliscelio ruga in size and habitus. It can be separated from Calliscelio absum by the percurrent notaulus, from Calliscelio extenuatus and Calliscelio ruga by the bare compound eyes and from Calliscelio minutia by the smooth frons and the entirely hyaline fore wing.
Etymology
The epithet is derived from the name of a famous character in the Chinese classical novel Journey to the West, Sun Wukong, who knows 72 transformations. It refers the remarkable polymorphism of this species and should be treated as a genitive noun.

Comments
This species is well supported by many characters, although the sculpture of the posterior vertex and the color of the female antennal clava is extremely variable. The posterior vertex varies from smooth to transversely striate. The hyperoccipital carina also can be present or absent. The female antennal clava varies from entirely brown to having the last two or three segments white. These variations are gradual among specimens. Therefore we consider them as intraspecific rather than interspecific.
