Stegana (Steganina) stachydifolia sp. nov. (Figs 2F, 9) Diagnosis. This species resembles S. malanostoma Chen & Chen, 2008 from Hubei, China in the colour patterns of body (Fig. 2F) and some characters of male terminalia (Fig. 9), but can be distinguished by the aedeagus with 1 pair of fringe-like processes ventrally (Fig. 9C, D); gonopods slightly protruded dorsomedially, with a few serrated, minute processes (Fig. 9E, F). The minimum interspecific genetic distance to S. malanostoma is 3.4%, which is smaller than to other species (Table 2). Description. Male: Frons black on upper half, with 1 yellow band medially, brown below. First flagellomere yellow on basal 2/3, black on distal 1/3. Clypeus black medially, yellow laterally. Palpus yellow, slightly brownish apically. Mesonotum brown medially, yellowish brown laterally (Fig. 2F). Katepisternum entirely white. Scutellum brown (Fig. 2F). Foreleg femur with 4 long suberect setae near distal part of posteroventral surface. Abdominal tergites entirely brown (Fig. 2F). Male terminalia (Fig. 9): Epandrium with ca. 24 setae on dorsal to posterolateral portion per side. Cercus lacking pubescence. Surstylus distally with numerous setulae on inner surface. Paramere with ca. 2 setulae. Aedeagus with numerous, thin setae along apical margin and serration processes on dorsal portion. Gonopods with 1 small projection distodorsally in lateral view.
