Pulsatilla saxatilis L. Xu & T.G. Kang, sp. nov., Figs. 1���3. Type:��� CHINA. Liaoning, Fengcheng, Baiyun Mountain, on rocky cliffs, ca. 1100 m, 26 May 2015, L. Xu et al. 210682150526013 LY (holotype LNCM, isotypes IFP, IMD, LNCM, PE). Fig. 1. Diagnosis: From its putative closest ally, Pulsatilla chinensis (Fig. 4), the new species P. saxatilis is distinguishable by having light blue, whitish-blue or white (vs. violet) sepals and persistent styles 2���2.5 cm (vs. 3.5���6.5 cm) long (see Table 1). Description:���Perennial herb, 9���20 cm tall. Rhizome 0.5���1 cm in diameter. Basal leaves 6���11, leaf blade ovate, 2���3.5 �� 1.5���3 cm, 3���foliolate or ternate-pinnate. Central leaflet long petiolulate, 0.5���2 cm long, cordate, 3���foliolate, central segment stipitate and deeply 3���lobed, ultimate lobes cuniform, 0.3���0.6 cm wide, apically 2���or 3���toothed, abaxially sparsely long pilose, adaxially glabrous; petiole 2���7.5 cm, densely white villose. Scapes solitary or 2, occasionally 3, erect, white villose. Involucral bracts 3 or 4, 1��� 2.4 cm long, connate and tubular at base, apically palmately 3���lobed, apical palmate lobes lanceolate, abaxially densely long pilose. Flowers solitary, erect, 2���4 cm in diameter; sepals 6���11, light blue, whitish���blue or white, oblong-ovate, 1.5���2.5 �� 0.4���1.4 cm, abaxially puberulent; stamens numerous, ca. 1/2 as long as sepals; carpels numerous, style yellow-green, stigma pale violet. Achenes 2.5���3 mm long, long pilose. Persistent styles 2���2.5 cm long, sparsely long pilose. Phenology:���Flowering in May; fruiting in June. Pollen morphology:���Pollen grains of Pulsatilla saxatilis are spheroidal and pantoporate, having 9���12 apertures (Fig. 5A, B). The pollen surface is rough and spinulate, and the spinules are unevenly distributed. The bases of the spinules are cushion-like, and the tops are acuminate. The spinules in the apertures are larger than those on the surface. In its putative closest ally, P. chinensis, pollen grains are tricolpate (Fig. 5C, D). Pollen morphology, therefore, lends strong support for the description of P. saxatilis as new. Distribution and habitat:��� Pulsatilla saxatilis is currently known only from its type locality, i.e. Baiyun Mountain in Fengcheng, Liaoning province, north-east China (Fig. 6). It grows on rocky cliffs at an altitude of ca. 1100 m. Etymology:���The specific epithet, ��� saxatilis ���, which means ���dwelling or found among rocks���, refers to the habitat of the new species. Additional specimens examined (paratypes):��� CHINA. Liaoning, Fengcheng, Baiyun Mountain, ca. 1100 m, on rocky cliffs, 22 May 2016, L . Xu et al. 210682160522032 LY (PE); the same locality, 22 May 2016, L . Xu et al. 210682160522032 LY (IFP, IMD, LNCM). Conservation status:��� Pulsatilla saxatilis is currently known only from its type locality, with its distribution area being very small, although the population we observed in 2015 consisted of numerous individuals, and the habitat was in good condition, not disturbed by human activities. The conservation status of P. saxatilis may better be considered as ���Endangered��� (IUCN Standards and Petitions Committee 2019)., Published as part of Zhang, Ting-Ting, Zhang, Shu-Mei, Xu, Liang & Kang, Ting-Guo, 2022, Pulsatilla saxatilis (Ranunculaceae), a new species from north-east China, pp. 195-202 in Phytotaxa 539 (2) on pages 195-200, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.539.2.6, http://zenodo.org/record/6358199

China (Shandong). Etymology. The species is named after its host chives (Allium tuberosum Rottl. ex Spreng.) Remarks. The new species is most similar to Chaetolonchaea pallipennis (Zetterstedt, 1855) (Figs. 17���20) from Europe in that the eye hairs short and katepisternum has 2 strong setae, but it can be separated from the latter in the following characters: frons with sparse short setulae; black setulae on vein C extend to the end of vein R4+5; distance between apices of vein Sc and vein R1 shorter than greatest width of costal cell; male terminalia: in posterior view cerci with basal margin nearly straight and apically forming two rounded lobes with a V-shaped incision between; surstylus with 3 prensisetae of which the anterior one is very small and the posterior one rather large and strongly curved inward. In Chaetolonchaea pallipennis, hairs on frons are much longer and denser; the black setulae of vein C extend to a point about 1/3 of distance between apices of vein R2+3 and vein R4+5; distance between apices of vein Sc and vein R1 longer than greatest width of costal cell; cerci more rounded in posterior view; male terminalia (Figs. 17��� 20): in posterior view cerci coming to a blunt point at apex with small lateral projections, surstylus with prensisetae but the anterior although smaller not markedly smaller than the others. Currently the new species is only found on Chinese chives (Allium tuberosum Rottl. ex Spreng.), causing serious losses in some parts of China. The larva drills the underground root and bulb of the chives (Figs. 27, 28) resulted in yellowing, poor growth of the plant, even whole death. Detail information of the biology about this species will be reported in other papers., Published as part of Zhang, Ting-Ting, Liu, Fang, Macgowan, Iain & Xue, Ming, 2017, A new species of Chaetolonchaea Czerny (Diptera: Lonchaeidae) from China, a larval pest on chives, pp. 358-366 in Zootaxa 4250 (4) on pages 361-366, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4250.4.6, http://zenodo.org/record/495305, {"references":["Rotheray, G.

Geographical distribution (Fig. 34). China (Yunnan), Thailand. Etymology. The species is named after Prof. Rudolf Rozko��n��, an outstanding dipterist and scholar. He recognized this species independently from us, and was so generous to step back and provide us with all his material and notes. Remarks. The new species is very similar to N. elongoverpa and N. eurytarsa. It can be distinguished from them by the black abdomen being pale brown to yellow laterally on tergite 1���3; male hind basitarsus black and expanded, female hind basitarsus yellowish white, not expanded as in male; hind margin of genital capsule with a pair of median protuberances, gonostylus leaf-shaped, aedeagus short and tripartite distally; in N. elongoverpa and N. eurytarsa the abdominal dorsum completely black without distinctly yellow part on tergites 1���3; hind margin of genital capsule without a pair of median protuberances, aedeagus is well developed and bipartite distally, the aedeagus of N. elongoverpa is elongate and expanded in distal part; moreover, in N. elongoverpa the male and female hind basitarsus is yellow and not expanded; the gonostylus is provided with an aduncate tip and a spine at the basal inner margin; in M. eurytarsa the male and female hind basitarsus is black and expanded; gonostylus with rectangular protuberance at the inner margin of base., Published as part of Yang, Zai-Hua, Hauser, Martin, Yang, Mao-Fa & Zhang, Ting-Ting, 2013, The Oriental genus Nasimyia (Diptera: Stratiomyidae): Geographical distribution, key to species and descriptions of three new species, pp. 526-540 in Zootaxa 3619 (5) on pages 535-537, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3619.5.2, http://zenodo.org/record/221170
