Two new species from Yunnan, China are described and illustrated, namely
Li T-J, Chen B (2014) Description of two new Chinese
The specimens examined are deposited in the Institute of Entomology and Molecular Biology, Chongqing Normal University, Chongqing, China (CQNU) and Department of Entomology, College of Plant Protection, Yunnan Agricultural University, Kunming (YNAU), respectively. Descriptions and measurements were made under a stereomicroscope (Nikon SMZ1500), and all figures were taken with a stereomicroscope (LEICA EZ4HD) attached to a computer using Leica Application Suite version 2.1.0 software. The ratios used throughout the descriptions were measured in the same amplifying multiple of stereomicroscope. All measurements were taken as the maximal length of body parts measured. Body length was measured from the anterior margin of the head to the posterior margin of metasomal tergum 2. For the density description of punctures, “sparsely” means that the interspaces are larger than one puncture diameter, “moderately” means equal to the diameter, and “densely” means less than one diameter. The abbreviations used in the text are as follows: A1 for antennal segment 1, A2 for antennal segment 2, T1 for metasomal tergum 1, T2 for metasomal tergum 2, S1 for metasomal sternum 1, S2 for metasomal sternum 2, and so on. Terminology principally follows
This genus is related to some of
China (Sichuan, Chongqing, Yunnan, Taiwan); Oriental, Ethiopian and Australian Regions.
Holotype, ♀, China, Yunnan Province, Xishuangbanna State, Jinghong City, Ancient Forest Park,
Female (Figs
Head. Frons densely punctate and reticulate; clypeus with silvery setae, sparsely punctate and medially with longitudinal depression, length of clypeus: width = 29:34, clypeal margin emarginate, laterally angulate, and apical width: depth of emargination = 1:0.1; length of A3: width = 4:3, length of A4 equal to width, length of A5: width = 6:7.
Mesosoma. Length of mesosoma: width = 19:12; pronotal carina somewhat rounded laterally; pronotum, scutum, scutellum and mesopleuron except posteriorly densely punctate, the punctures obviously larger and deeper than those on head; punctures on metanotum sparser than those on other parts of thorax, left and right parts of metanotum contiguously tiled, metapleuron impunctate and somewhat coriaceous; propodeum coarse, with lateral carina and densely reticulate ridges, side somewhat coriaceous.
Metasoma. Width of T1: length = 7.1:5.0, T1 and T2 densely punctate, S1 impunctate and coriaceous, punctures on S2 sparser than those on T1, T2 subapically somewhat depressed, T1, T2 and S2 with lamellate apical margin, respectively.
Male. Body length 5.0 mm, forewing length 6.0 mm. Sculpture, punctuation, setae, and coloration similar to those of female except as follows: clypeus entirely whitish yellow (Figs
The species resembles
China (Yunnan).
The specific name is derived from the Latin word:
Holotype, ♀, China, Yunnan Province, Xishuangbanna State, Jinghong City, Ancient Forest Park,
Female (Figs
Head. Frons densely punctate and reticulate; clypeus sparsely punctate and setose, medially with wide longitudinal spade-formed depression, and clypeal margin bluntly angulate (Fig.
Mesosoma. Length: width = 25:16; pronotal carina laterally somewhat rounded; pronotum, scutum, scutellum and mesopleuron except posteriorly densely punctate, punctures obviously larger and deeper than those on head, interspaces with ridges; punctures on metanotum sparser than those above, left and right parts of metanotum uncomtoguously tiled (Fig.
Metasoma. Width of T1: length = 6.3:4.5, T1 and T2 densely punctate, S1 impunctate and coriaceous; punctures on S2 sparser than those on T1 and T2; T1, T2 and S2 with thin lamellate apical margin, respectively, in front view, the lamellate apical margin invisible, T2 subapically somewhat depressed.
Male (Figs
The species is similar to
China (Yunnan).
