Body color dark brown, head entirely dark; fore femora brown, tibiae yellowish brown; mid and hind legs dark brown, with small extreme apex of tibiae yellow (Fig. 38); all tarsi yellow; antennal segments I–II dark brown, III–V and basal half of VI yellow, apical half of VI and VII–VIII light brown (Fig. 10); fore wing (Fig. 5) brown, base and apex darkest, with a sub-basal white band, weakly shaded between anterior and posterior margin at distal half; clavus dark brown. Head about 1.4–1.5 times as wide as long, completely sculptured; ocellar hump reticulate obvious with internal wrinkles (Fig. 39); ocelli large; anterior and posterior carina of occipital collar almost parallel, the posteromedian reticles of collar with many thicken dots inside. Antennae 8-segmented, general stout; forked sense cones on III extending to basal third of IV, on IV not surpassing midline of V (Fig. 10); simple dorsal sense cone on VI scarcely beyond apex of VIII, microtrichia present on ventral surface of segments IV–VI. Mouth cone rounded apically; maxillary palps 2–segmented. Pronotum entirely covered by polygonal reticles of a rather uniform size, discal setae moderately long; most median and posterior reticles with wrinkles inside (Fig. 22); mesoscutum with weak wrinkles in median reticles; metascutal triangle lacking wrinkles (Fig. 40), median setae outer and anterior to the CPS; metascutellum about 2.5 times as wide as long. Fore wing (Fig. 5) first vein with 6–7 basal and 2 distal setae, second vein with about 7 setae, posteromarginal cilia distinctive wavy; clavus with 4 veinal setae. Abdominal tergites I and II completely reticulate (Fig. 41); tergites III–VIII with heavy antecostal line divided into arches connected by a fine line, entirely covered with polygonal reticles except for posterior median unsculptured areas; II–VII lateral fourth with wrinkles in reticles (Fig. 41); VIII with comb of microtrichia narrowly interrupted medially by lacking about 4–5 teeth (Fig. 42); three pairs of needle-like setae on apex of tergite IX, S2 the longest, S1 and S3 almost subequal in length; Abdominal segment X short and small, less than half the length of IX; X with median split complete.

Head, length 129; width across genae 183. Eye, length 73; width 48. Pronotum, length 154; width 223. Fore wing length 900. Abdominal segments VIII–X median length 101, 118, 55. Antennal segments I–VIII length (width): 23(21), 38(30), 53(22), 44(22), 40(20), 29(17), 9(8), 27(4). Male unknown. Specimens studied. Holotype female, CHINA, Chongqing City, Xiushan County, from leaves of Phragmites communis, 22.v.2017 (Li Yajin & Liu Hui), in collection of Yunnan Agricultural University, Kunming. Paratypes: 19 females collected from same locality and plant as holotype, with 2 females deposited in Australian National Insect Collection, Canberra. Etymology. In reference to the host plant of this species. Comments. This new species is distinguished from other Helionothrips species by the reticles on the posterior half of the pronotum having internal wrinkles, the forked antennal sense cone on IV not surpassing mid-point of V, antennal segments I & II dark brown while VI light brown with basal half yellow, also mid and hind tibiae with a small yellow area at apex. This new species is most similar to communis, ponkikiri and unitatis in having the posterior half of the pronotum with reticles bearing internal wrinkles. However, in communis, ponkikiri and unitatis, the forked sense cone on antennal segment IV at least extends to the apex of V, and segment VI as brown as I & II (ponkikiri and unitatis) or darker than I & II (communis). Moreover, in this new species, wrinkles are present in the mesoscutum reticles but not in the metascutum reticles. In contrast, both the meso- and metascutal reticles have internal wrinkles in communis and unitatis versus both lacking in ponkikiri., Published as part of Xie, Yanlan, Li, Yajin & Zhang, Hongrui, 2022, The genus Helionothrips (Thysanoptera, Panchaetothripinae) in China, with two new species and an identification key, pp. 392-402 in Zootaxa 5194 (3) on pages 399-400, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5194.3.3, http://zenodo.org/record/7154424

Pseudopoda uncata Yang & Zhang sp. nov. (Figs 4–6) Type material. Holotype: ♂, CHINA : Yunnan Province: Mengjiao Township, Cangyuan County (23°16.38′N, 99°11.21′E, 1769 m), 11 May 2021, Z.Z. Yang & Z.M. Li (MHBU). Paratypes: 1♂, 5♀, with same data as for holotype (1♀ in MHBU, 1♂ 4♀ in DUIER); 2♂, 1♀, with same data as for holotype except: 23 May 2017, Z.Z. Yang (DUIER). Etymology. The specific name is a Latin adjective—derived from uncus (=hook), referring to the shape of embolus in ventral view. Diagnosis. According to the morphology of genital organs (for details see Jäger 2001), P. uncata sp. nov. belongs to the diversipunctata species-group, which, up to now, was comprised of six species: P. confusa, P. diversipunctata, P. intermedia, P. lutea, P. marsupia and P. serrata. Both sexes of this new species are most similar to P. confusa Jäger, Pathoumthong and Vedel, 2006 (see Jäger et al. 2006: 220, figs 1–13, 29–32) in: embolus hook-shaped in ventral view, with similar arising point and length; U-shaped median septum; spherical structures of internal duct system. It can be distinguished from the latter species by the following combination of characters: 1. Embolus tip inversely U-shaped in ventral view (embolus bent at right angles in P. confusa); 2. Finger-like dRTA longer than in P. confusa; 3. Median septum narrower than in P. confusa; 4. First windings of internal duct system close to each other (far away from each other in P. confusa). Females of this new species also resemble those of P. lutea (Thorell, 1895) (see Jäger 2002: 57, figs 184–185) by: anterior and median margins of lateral lobes goblet-shaped, internal duct system with distinct lateral loops visible through cuticle in ventral view as oval patches on anterior part of epigyne. It can be distinguished from the latter species by the following combination of characters: 1. Anterior margin trilobate (Figs 5D, 6D; bilobate in P. lutea); 2. Loops of internal duct system bending laterally (Figs 5E, 6E; loops bending medially in P. lutea). Description. Male: Total length 9.39–9.46 (n=4). Holotype total length 9.46: prosoma 4.63 long, 4.36 wide; opisthosoma 4.97 long, 3.10 wide. Two eye rows slightly recurved. Eyes diameters and interdistances: AME 0.23, ALE 0.33, PME 0.24, PLE 0.30, AME–AME 0.13, AME–ALE 0.08, PME–PME 0.29, PME–PLE 0.35. MOA 0.73 long, anterior width 0.59, posterior width 0.76. Clypeus height 0.31. Chelicerae furnished with 3 promarginal teeth and 4 retromarginal teeth, and some denticles between them. Leg measurements: I 23.03 (6.10, 1.97, 5.90, 6.62, 2.44), II 25.38 (7.57, 2.60, 5.95, 6.92, 2.34), III 18.77 (6.60, 1.74, 3.71, 5.03, 1.69), IV 15.44 (6.60, 1.22, 3.05, 2.08, 2.09).

Yang & C.G. Li (MHBU) Paratypes: 4♀, with same data as for holotype (1♀ in MHBU, 3♀ in DUIER). Etymology. The specific name is dedicated to the late Prof. Dr Ming-Sheng Zhu for his efforts on arachnological studies in China; nomen in genitive case. Diagnosis. Males of this new species resemble those of P. contraria Jäger and Vedel, 2007 (see Jäger & Vedel 2007: 31, figs 114–116) in the embolus with a huge prolateral projection, and a broad apical tip of the embolic projection. It can be distinguished from the latter by the following combination of characters: 1. Apical part of embolus very broad (Figs 2B–C, 3B–C; thinner in P. contraria); 2. Embolic projection trapezoid-shaped in ventral view (Figs 2B, 3B; square-shaped in P. contraria); 3. Top of embolic projection with teeth (Figs 2B, 3B; absent in P. contraria). Females of this new species resemble those of P. pingu Jäger, 2015 (see Jäger 2015: 336, figs 21–23) by the lateral windings projecting anteriorly above the median septum and the longitudinally sclerotised internal duct system. It can be distinguished from the latter by the following combination of characters: 1. lateral lobes touching each other (Figs 2D, 3D; distinctly separated in P. pingu); 2. the first winding of internal duct system obviously wide (Figs 2E, 3E; moderately wide in P. pingu).

Epigyne as in diagnosis (Figs 2D–E, 3D–E). Epigynal field wider than long, with slightly trilobate anterior margin, anterior bands short, indistinct; lateral lobes longer than wide, slightly converged on the central axis; anterior margins of lateral lobes heart - shaped; loops of internal duct system bending laterally, the posterior parts hidden behind lateral lobes; the anterior margin of longitudinally sclerotised parts beyond copulatory opening. Coloration in ethanol: Color and markings of carapace as in male. Dorsal opisthosoma dark brown dorsally, with some irregular patches laterally and a distinct white transversal patch in the posterior part; venter brown, with small and irregular patches (Figs 1C–D). Distribution. China (Yunnan). Note. The species P. mingshengi cannot be allocated to any of the nine known species groups according to morphological features. Males share the broad prolateral embolic projection with several species, e.g., P. daxing Zhao and Li, 2018 in Jiang et al. 2018, P. digitata Jäger and Vedel, 2007 and P. contraria, but females of this new species are completely different.

Blepephaeus taomeiae (Hayashi, Nara & Yu, 1995) comb. nov. K��������+ (Figure 6) Uraechoides taomeiae Hayashi et al., 1995: 149 (type locality: ���Luen Din, Chiai, Taiwan, China ���); Chou 2008: 297, figs (male and female); L��bl & Smetana 2010: 288 (catalogue); Lin & Yang 2019: 324 (catalogue). As stated above, Uraechoides Breuning, 1981 is treated as a junior synonym of Paracyriothasastes Breuning, 1978, therefore, Uraechoides taomeiae Hayashi, Nara & Yu, 1995 should be treated in Paracyriothasastes. Paracyriothasastes can be distinguished from Blepephaeopsis by having the prothorax with lateral tubercles near the base (prothorax with lateral tubercles near the middle in Blepephaeopsis), elytron with an acute marginal angle at the apex (elytron with a weak marginal angle at the apex in Blepephaeopsis). Paracyriothasastes taomeiae (Hayashi, Nara & Yu, 1995) has characters of Blepephaeus, besides, examining the holotype photographs of U. taomeiae (Fig. 6), Blepephaeus fulvus (Pic, 1933) (Fig. 7) and B. nigrostigma Wang & Chiang, 1998 (Fig. 8), we found that U. taomeiae is extremely similar to Blepephaeus fulvus and B. nigrostigma in following characters: elytra densely covered with brown hairs forming four large maculae (an inverted triangular macula basally, a pair of arcuate maculae laterally and a sub-triangular macula apically), with a large X-shaped grayish white haired band among above four maculae, sparsely with sub-rounded small black haired maculae on above four maculae, prothorax with lateral tubercles near middle, marginal angles weak. We thus transfer U. taomeiae to the genus Blepephaeus Pascoe, 1866. Type material examined. Holotype (MSME), Luen Din, Chiai, Taiwan, China, 13 May 1991, Taomei Li leg. Male.

Paratypes, all from leaf litter and dead leaves at same site as holotype, between March and November 2011: 5 female apterae, 2 female macropterae collected with holotype; 3.iii.2011, 2 female apterae, 2 female macropterae from Magnolia denudata, 2 female apterae from Cinnamomum camphora; 21.iii.2011, 6 female apterae from Pinus yunnanensis; 25.iii.2011, 2 female apterae from Sabina chinensis; 14.iv.2011, 1 male aptera from Eucalyptus; 20.v.2011, 1 female aptera from Cinnamomum camphora, 2 female macropterae, 4 female apterae, 1 male aptera from Pinus yunnanensis; 14.vii.2011, 1 female macroptera from Pinus yunnanensis; 11.viii.2011, 1 female aptera, 1 female macroptera from Eucalyptus robusta; 2.x.2011, 25 female apterae from dead leaves; 25.xi.2011, 3 female apterae from Sabina chinensis. [all deposited in Yunnan Agricultural University Collection, Kunming, with 11 slides in Australian National Insect Collection, Canberra]. Comments. This new species shares with brasilianus the anterior position of the mid-dorsal setae on the head. However, in addition to the differences noted in the key above the number of facets in the compound eyes of female apterae is not smaller than in macropterae (cf. Okajima 2006: 51)., Published as part of Mound, Laurence, Li, Yajin & Zhang, Hongrui, 2020, Species of the genus Allothrips (Thysanoptera, Idolothripinae) from Southeast Asia, with one new species from Yunnan, China, pp. 593-595 in Zootaxa 4732 (4) on pages 594-595, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4732.4.10, http://zenodo.org/record/3667312, {"references":["Okajima, S.

The ancient Greek aphorism “know thyself” engraved on the forecourt of the Temple of Apollo epitomizes the human desire for the exploration into the unknown. In fact, never has mankind dragged their feet in understanding themselves, as in the achievements scientists have made all these years in the studies of disease and pathology.

Bracon nigriventris Wesmael Biological observations. The new species is a solitary ectoparasitoid of first instar larvae of Anoplophora glabripennis. Percentage parasitism averaged 4.0% during the three year study, with a maximum of 5.9% in 2017. The newly emerged larva of the parasitoid is attached to the host body. In only seven days the host was completely consumed and the mature parasitoid larva made a cocoon beside the mummy of the host. The pupal stage of the parasitoid lasted 18–20 days at a temperature of approximately 25°C.

Paratype: 1♀, Xingzi, Lianzhou, Guangdong, 18 August, 2018, coll. Yanqing Li and Yarui Xin. Measurements (mm). Body: ♂ 17.0, ♀ 18.5; pronotum: ♂ 3.8, ♀ 4.0; tegmina: ♂ 11.5, ♀ 13.0; postfemora: ♂ 11.5, ♀ 12.5; ovipositor: 14.0. Distribution. China (Hunan, Guangdong). Remarks. The new species is similar to Conocephalus (Anisoptera) guangdongensis Shi & Liang, 1997 and Conocephalus (Conocephalus) bidentatus Shi & Zheng, 1994, but it is distinguished from the former in: the tooth near middle of male cercus obviously long, and bases of two teeth far apart, without overlapping arrangement; and from the latter in: male cerci long, roughly cylindrical, apical areas conical, apices blunt; bases of two teeth on cercus far apart, inserted near the middle; ovipositor slightly long and narrow, moderately curved dorsad. Discussion. Males of the species have comparatively short tegmina and hind wings when alive, which do not reach apices of abdomen, but tegmina and hind wings are near the abdominal posterior margin in the dry specimens because abdomen shrinks a bit. Etymology. The name of new species is derived from the type locality, Nanling., Published as part of Li, Yan-Qing, Zhang, Tao, Xin, Ya-Rui & Shi, Fu-Ming, 2019, The genus Conocephalus (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae: Conocephalinae) from Guangdong and Nanling region, China with description of two new species, pp. 590-600 in Zootaxa 4565 (4) on pages 597-599, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4565.4.12, http://zenodo.org/record/2591291, {"references":["Shi, F.

Paratype: 1male, same data as holotype. Etymology. In reference to the host plant of this species. Comments. The head and pronotum of this species with dark lateral margin is similar to bilongilineatus, priesneri and trachelospermi, but the meso-, metanotum and abdominal tergite IX without CPS, marginal setae situated on posterior margin on sternite VII are different from bilongilineatus. The two pairs of posteromarginal setae on sternite II, and the absence in males of sternal pore plates also distinguishes this species from the Indian species priesneri and Chinese species trachelospermi (Bhatti 2000, Zhang &Tong 1996). In addition, the presence of two microtrichial rows on the dorsal surface of antennal segment II is unusual among Trichromothrips species., Published as part of Li, Yajin, Li, Zhengyue & Zhang, Hongrui, 2019, Trichromothrips genus-group (Thysanoptera, Thripidae) from China, with descriptions of three new species and ten new records, pp. 79-92 in Zootaxa 4544 (1) on pages 81-82, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4544.1.3, http://zenodo.org/record/2618149, {"references":["Bhatti, J.

Paratypes: 6 females, same data as holotype. Etymology. The species is named for the collection place. Comments. This new species runs to bellus in the key provided by Bhatti (2000), but is distinguished from bellus by the presence of the mesothoracic endofurca, S4 minute on tergites V–VIII and abdominal tergites VII–IX dark brown. It is closely related to dorsalis (Masumoto & Okajima 2011), but can be distinguished by head with a long neck-like constriction, abdominal tergites III–VI each with an inverted trapezoidal brown patch in the middle and tergites VII–IX dark brown (in dorsalis head slightly concave behind compound eyes, abdominal tergites I–VII yellowish white with III–VII each with a transverse diamond-shaped dark area in middle, VIII–IX dark brown). According to Masumoto and Okajima (2011) this species may belong to bellus -section together with alis, arorai, dorsalis, elegans and taiwanus.

Indonemoura furcoloba Li & Yang, sp. nov. (Figs. 1, 3) Diagnosis. Laterally, the epiproct is nearly parallel but sinuous for most its length with a rounded apex, distinctly tapering apically in lateral view; the median lobe of paraproct is divided into two branches at basal fifth, inner branch longer and stouter with a blunt tip, outer branch slender and spine-like with acute apical tip. The female is characterized by sternum 7 forming a large trapezoid shaped pregenital plate barely covering sternum 8. Adult habitus (Figs. 3 a, 3b). Holotype male: Forewing length ca. 4.7 mm, hindwing length ca. 3.9 mm. Female forewing length ca. 6.2 mm, hindwing length ca. 4.9 mm, apex of both wings of one female slightly damaged. General color brown, teneral females yellow brown. Head and antennae dark brown; compound eyes dark; mouthparts brownish. Thorax including pronotum dark brown; pronotum (Fig. 3 b) nearly quadrate with obtuse corners, lateral margins light brown, medial portion with weak markings; legs uniformly dark brown. Wings subhyaline with dark veins. Abdominal segments brownish but terminalia darker with hairs pale brown. Male terminalia. Terga 7–8 with sclerotized anterior margins. Tergum 9 (Fig. 1 a) weakly sclerotized, anterior margin with shallow indentation. Sternum 9 with convex anterior margin except a rounded median notch before a claviform vesicle; vesicle with stalk-like narrow base with slight medial constriction, length> 4X width (Fig. 1 b); hypoproct broad and subquadrate at basal half, then gradually tapering toward tip, apical fifth tubular and the extreme apex nipple-like. Tergum 10 sclerotized with distinctly sclerotized lateral margins and a pair of bands obliquely across each side of the tergum, a deep median concavity present beneath epiproct, surrounded lateral areas slightly elevated and bearing several spinules along anterolateral margins of the concavity. Cercus membranous with many clothing hairs, generally cylindrical but gently narrowing toward tip, length ca. 2.5X width. Epiproct (Figs. 1 a, 1c–1d) slender and recurved, with sinuous lateral margins; basal half roughly parallelsided, apical half slightly enlarged with circular apex; in dorsal aspect each side with a thin lateral sclerite, in lateral view, extending along the lowest face; ventral sclerite with darkly sclerotized gourd-like apex, in dorsal aspect, base broad and gradually narrowing, medial portion narrowest until the swollen gourd-like apex. In lateral view, medial portion with weakly developed ventral ridge bearing a row of ca. 10 tiny spines before fusing with dorsal sclerite. Paraproct (Fig. 1 e) divided into 3 lobes: inner lobe slightly sclerotized, triangular, adhering to median lobe-typical of the genus, nearly as long as outer lobe; median lobe mostly sclerotized, half width of base of paraproct, divided into 2 branches at basal fifth, inner branch mostly parallel-sided, nearly straight but apex slightly out-curved; in ventral view with blunt tip in dorsal view blade-shaped, outer branch slender than inner one, darkly sclerotized and out-curved contacting apex of outer lobe, generally spine-like with sharp tip; outer lobe strongly sclerotized, stripe shaped and adhering to outer margin of the median lobe. Female (Figs. 3 c–3e). Sternum 7 mostly membranous, mid-posterior margin greatly produced forming a large trapezoid pregenital plate barely covering sternum 8, as wide as half of width of sternum 7. Sternum 8 moderately sclerotized but subgenital plate not fully sclerotized. Sternum 9 sclerotized with anterior margin slightly extended backward, the mid-anterior portion touching posterior margin of pregenital plate. Sternum 10 and paraproct sclerotized. Pregenital plate with posterior margin in dorsal view nearly truncate with gentle indistinct median notch; in lateral view, slightly downcurved, an inner crescent sclerite underlying the extreme anterior portion of pregenital plate, followed by a pair of medially touching archaic structures together with two triangular brown sclerites beneath anterolateral margins of M-shaped pregenital plate. Type Material. Holotype: male (HIST), China: Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Jinxiu County, Dayaoshan National Nature Reserve, Shengtang Mount., 1170 m, 2008. IV.28, leg. Gang Yao. Paratypes: 2 females (HIST & CAUC), same data as holotype. Etymology. The specific name refers to the bifurcate median lobe of paraproct. Distribution. China (Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region). Remarks. The new species seems to be most similar to I. bilobata Sivec and Stark, 2010 recently described from Thailand in having a comparable epiproct in dorsal view and similar paraprocts, especially the shape of outer lobe in caudal aspect. However, the new species may be separated from I. bilobata by its ventral sclerite of epiproct medially enlarged, and by the median lobe divided at basal fifth with two elongate lobes. In I. bilobata, the ventral sclerite of epiproct lacks the median ridge and bears a small subapical bulging in lateral view (figs. 12 & 14 in Sivec & Stark 2010); the median lobe is bilobed at apex with two short lobes in comparison with I. furcoloba n. sp. (comparing fig. 15 in Sivec & Stark 2010 and Fig. 1 e). The female of I. bilobata is still unknown. The new species also shares a similar bifurcate median paraproctal lobe with I. trichotoma Li & Yang, 2008b from Yunnan Province, China but it is easily separated from that species by the spineless hypoproctal apex and the stouter outer paraproctal lobe with gently curved apex (comparing figs. 7 & 10 in Li & Yang 2008b and Figs. 1 b, 1e).

Indonemoura nigrihamita concava Li & Yao, ssp. nov. (Figs. 2, 4) Diagnosis. Tergum 9 typical and gradually constricted medially. Epiproct bears rounded but incised apex in dorsal view; ventral sclerite extended apically forward dorsal sclerite forming a short finger-like flagellum. Outer lobe of paraproct forms stout strip around basal margin of cercus at its basal and median portions, with membranous and triangular apical portion. Adult habitus (Figs. 4 a, 4b). Males forewing length 6.1���6.2 mm, hindwing length 5.0��� 5.1 mm, females forewing length 8.0��� 8.2 mm, hindwing length 7.0��� 7.2 mm. Head dark brown to black and antennae a little lighter; mouthparts dark brown, compound eyes black. Thorax including pronotum dark brown to black, legs mostly brown, basal portion of femora and tibiae lighter, distal portion of femora darker, hindleg femora with distinct yellow band, band and color pattern on foreleg and midleg less distinct; wings subhyaline with darker veins; Abdominal segments mostly brown except terminalia darker; hairs on abdomen mostly pale brown. Male Terminalia (Figs. 2 a���2f). Tergum 9 weakly sclerotized, gradually constricted medially, with two irregular rows of tiny spines but lacking protruding lobes along mid-posterior margin (Fig. 2 a). Sternum 9 with claviform vesicle, length ca. 4X width, base slightly narrower and dorsolateral aspect sclerotized (Figs. 2 b, 2c), hypoproct broad and parallel-sided at base, gradually tapering toward tubular tip, covered by dense hairs, overlapping inner lobe of paraproct. Tergum 10 sclerotized, with narrow longitudinal concavity beneath epiproct. Cercus membranous with distinct hairs, length ca. 3X width. Epiproct (Figs. 2 b���2d) elongate and recurved; basal half nearly parallel-sided, apical half slightly enlarged, apex circular with triangular incision, in dorsal aspect each side with a thin lateral sclerite extended from entire basal sclerite; ventral sclerite sclerotized but medial portion heavier so, broad at base and distinctly narrower toward apex after inserting in dorsal sclerite, extended apically forward dorsal sclerite forming a short finger-like flagellum; in lateral aspect with weakly developed ventral ridge but bearing a row of tiny spines, mostly forward of a median constriction. Paraproct (Fig. 2 f) divided into 3 lobes: triangular inner lobe sclerotized, mostly hidden by hypoproct; median lobe forming a sclerotized spine-like structure with hook-like apex; outer lobe forming sclerotized strip around basal margin of cercus at its basal and median portions, with membranous and triangular apical portion. Female (Figs. 2 g, 4c���4e). Sternum 7 membranous with sclerotized pregenital plate near mid-posterior margin, the plate forming an elevated conical hump followed by a small sclerite until the posterior margin of the segment. Sternum 8 with large sclerotized subgenital plate covering the entire length, the plate generally trapezoidal but with distinct anterior and lateral incisions; the anterior incision deep and bowl-shaped, nearly semicircular and the lateral one shallow and crescent-shaped; the posterolateral corners slightly upraised, connecting to the triangular paragenital plate. Sternum 9 sclerotized with anterior fourth forming a trapezoidal extension, slightly overlapping posterior margin of preceding segment, with a wide shallow mid-anterior incision. Sternum 10 and paraproct typical. Pregenital and subgenital plates covered with dense short setae (Fig. 4 c). Type material. Holotype male (HIST), 1 paratype male (CAUC), 9 females (5 in HIST, 4 in CAUC), China: Sichuan Province, Aba Zang and Qiang Autonomous Region, Songpan County, Huanglong Scenic Area, Huanglong Temple to Wucai Lake, 3550 m, E 103.83140, N 32.72666, 2011. VIII.2, W.H. Li. Etymology. The specific name refers to the concave posterior margin of tergum 9 of the male. Distribution. China (Sichuan Province, Songpan County). Remarks. The above two males are similar to the holotype male of I. nigrihamita nigrihamita Li & Yang, 2008c from Kangding, western Sichuan Province in most aspects. The two populations are separated> 300 km and we did not collect the new subspecies from nearby Jiuzhaigou County. The major differences are in the shape of tergum 9 and the epiproct apex. The posterior margin of the new subspecies is unmodified and concave but that of I. nigrihamita nigrihamita bears a pair of paramedial protruding lobes at posterior margin; the apex of epiproct has a triangular incision but epiproct apex of I. nigrihamita nigrihamita is entire. Additionally, the median hook of median paraproctal lobe and the apical bulb of the outer paraproctal lobe are directed differently (compare Figs. 2 b, 2f and figs. 37 & 40 in Li & Yang 2008c). the sclerotized lateral margin of the new subspecies ends medially in a swollen apex whereas that of I. n. nigrihamita is forked medially (figs. 37 & 40 in Li & Yang 2008c)., Published as part of Li, Weihai, Zhang, Qin, Yang, Ding & Yao, Gang, 2017, A new Chinese species of Indonemoura (Plecoptera: Nemouridae) and a new subspecies of I. nigrihamita Li & Yang, pp. 255-262 in Zootaxa 4311 (2) on page 259, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4311.2.6, http://zenodo.org/record/847544, {"references":["Li, W.

Valva with sacculus elongate elliptical, about 3/4 length of costal part, approximately 1.5 times of costal part at maximum width; dorsal margin arched, distinctly curved in distal 1/3, in some individuals distinctly curved dorso-apically; ventral margin arched; apex narrowly rounded; with dense denticles distally, dentate along distal 2/5 of ventral margin. Vinculum broad V - shaped; saccus almost same length as arm of vinculum, narrow, less than 1/5 width of sacculus, distally narrowed to pointed apex. Phallus about same length as valva, straight, basal 2/5 slightly thicker, distal 3/5 uniform; cornutus an elongate ovate plate bearing numerous denticles, about 1/4 length of phallus. Female genitalia (Figs. 13, 18). Ovipositor cone-shaped, dentate laterally, acute apically. Apophysis posterioris longer than apophysis anterioris. Lamella postvaginalis torch-like; lateral margin arched, dentate sparsely; posterior margin concave in broad U shape, dentate, posterolaterally produced in triangle, pointed apically. Antrum as thick as ductus bursae, about 2/3 length of ductus bursae. Ductus bursae with sparsely toothed pleats; ductus seminalis arising from between antrum and ductus bursae. Corpus bursae oval, shorter than ductus bursae, full of reticular veins; signum a small rounded or subovate plate, wrinkled. Diagnosis. Epicephala daltonii sp. nov. is similar to E. ancylopa Meyrick, 1918 in appearance. It can be distinguished from the latter in the male genitalia by the sacculus about 3/4 length of the costal part and distinctly incurved in distal 1/3 dorsally (Fig. 8); in the female genitalia by the significantly large lamella postvaginalis concave in broad U shape on the posterior margin (Fig. 18) and the antrum about 2/3 the length of the ductus bursae. In E. ancylopa Meyrick, the sacculus is about 3/5 the length of the costal part and its dorsal margin is roundly arched in the male genitalia; the obviously small lamella postvaginalis is concave in broad V or U shape on the posterior margin (Fig. 16) and the antrum is about 1/3 the length of the ductus bursae in the female genitalia. Biology. Host-plant: Glochidion daltonii (Muell. Arg.) Kurz (Phyllanthaceae). Larvae feed on seeds in the fruits. Distribution. China (Sichuan, Yunnan). Etymology.

Corpus bursae oval, about same length as ductus bursae; signum a small overlapped subtriangular plate. Diagnosis. Epicephala assamica sp. nov. is similar to E. frenata Meyrick, 1908 in appearance and male genitalia. It can be separated from the latter in the male genitalia by the sacculus narrower than 1.5 times of costal part at maximum width, and the phallus with two denticles at apex. In E. frenata Meyrick, the sacculus is wider than 2 times of costal part at maximum width, and the phallus has a small apical thorn in the male genitalia. Epicephala assamica sp. nov. is also similar to E. ancylopa, and the differences between them can be found under E. ancylopa Meyrick. Biology. Larvae feed on seeds in the fruits of G. assamicum (M��ll. Arg.) Kook. f. (Phyllanthaceae). Distribution. China (Hainan, Yunnan). Etymology. The specific name is derived from the name of the host-plant Glochidion assamicum (Muell. Arg.)

Epicephala jianfenglingina Li, sp. nov. Figs. 4, 9, 14, 19 Type material. CHINA: Holotype ♂, Hainan Province: Jianfengling Nature Reserves (18°44'N, 108°51'E), 950 m, 26.ix.2010, reared from fruits of Glochidion sp. by B.B. Hu, genitalia slide no. HBB10039. Paratypes (2 ♀ f): Hainan Province: 1 ♀, same data as holotype except 24.ix.2010; 1 ♀, same locality and reared from fruits of same host-plant as holotype by J. Zhang on 15.iv.2011. Description. Adult (Fig. 4). Forewing expanse 9.5−10.5 mm. Head white, vertex tinged with a few greyish brown scales laterally. Labial palpus with basal palpomere white; second and third palpomeres white on inner surface, blackish brown on outer surface; third palpomere white tipped, pointed. Antenna with ventral surface pale greyish yellow, dorsal surface deep greyish brown, scape snowy white anteriorly. Thorax snowy white; tegula deep greyish brown. Forewing deep greyish brown; costal margin with three white streaks: basal streak short, from about 1/4, first along costal margin for a short distance, then extending discontinuously and weakening to 1/3 of wing at anterior 1/4; median streak from beyond middle slightly oblique downward to anterior 1/4, then weakening and parallel with costal margin to about distal 1/8 discontinuously; distal streak from distal 1/4, extending below and subparallel with costal margin to distal 1/8, interrupted; short white streak between median and distal streaks placed below costal margin, slightly oblique; ventral margin with a broad creamy band from base to end of fold, dorsally produced to a strip at 2/3 obliquely extending to 3/5 of wing at middle; two white streaks from above end of fold subparallel extending to distal 1/8, stronger in female than in male; narrow greyish silvery fascia with metallic reflection at distal 1/8, edged with yellowish brown, with a yellowish white dot at costal margins in male; distal 1/8 ochre brown, with a small white spot at costal margin and a narrow triangular spot along ventral margin, with a distinct central black dot, apex with a silvery strip; cilia greyish white along costal margin and apex except black distally and with a distinct black basal line, grey along dorsal margin. Hindwing and cilia greyish brown. Male genitalia (Fig. 9). Tegumen elongate, broad tongue shaped, sclerotized marginally. Valva with costal part about same length as tegumen, widened medially, obliquely rounded apically; costa slightly protruded medially; ventral margin with a dentate semicircular protuberance medially, concave basally and before apex; transtilla narrow triangular, tapering distally. Valva with sacculus somewhat fusiform, slightly shorter than 2/3 length of costal part, nearly as wide as costal part at maximum width; dorsal margin roundly arched, ventral margin almost straight, apex narrowly rounded; distal 1/4 with dense denticles. Vinculum in broad V shape; saccus almost same length as arm of vinculum, broad, slightly less than half width of sacculus, parallel except distally narrowed to rounded apex. Phallus about same length as valva, subovately dilated basally, uniform distally; cornutus a row of clustered long spines. Female genitalia (Figs. 14, 19). Ovipositor cone-shaped, dentate laterally, acute apically. Apophysis posterioris longer than apophysis anterioris. Lamella postvaginalis somewhat H shaped; lateral margin subparallel, sinuate; posterior margin deeply concave, broadly V-shaped, posterolaterally produced to a triangular process narrowly pointed at apex, anterolaterally produced to a triangular process with sharp apex. Antrum about 1/3 length of ductus bursae. Ductus bursae thicker than antrum, with sparsely dentate pleats; ductus seminalis arising from between antrum and ductus bursae. Corpus bursae oval, granulated, about half length of ductus bursae; signum a small subtriangular plate. Diagnosis. This new species is similar to E. duoplantaria sp. nov. in appearance. It can be further separated from the latter in the male genitalia by the phallus subovately dilated basally; in the female genitalia by the lamella postvaginalis with lateral margins subparallel and posterior margin deeply concave in broad V shape. In E. duoplantaria sp. nov., the phallus is slightly expanded basally in the male genitalia; the lamella postvaginalis is arched laterally and shallowly concave on the posterior margin in the female genitalia. Biology. Host-plant: Glochidion sp., close to Glochidion rubrum Bl. (Phyllanthaceae). Larvae feed on seeds in the fruits. Distribution. China (Hainan). Etymology. The specific name is derived from the name of the type locality.
