Stegana (Steganina) lancang Li & Chen , sp. nov.

( Figs. 10E, 10F, 46)

Diagnosis. This species is similar to S. (S.) kanmiyai Okada & Sidorenko, 1992 in the shape of male terminalia (as fig. 3E–G in Okada & Sidorenko 1992, Fig. 46A–G), but can be distinguished from the latter by having the brownish yellow body color ( Fig. 10E, F); the surstylus with 1 peg-like tooth near distal margin ( Fig. 46A, B); the aedeagus lacking pubescence distolaterally ( Fig. 46C, D).

Description. Male: Clypeus and palpus yellow. Mesonotum brownish yellow ( Fig. 10E). Katepisternum yellowish ( Fig. 10F). Scutellum brownish yellow, brownish near distal margin ( Fig. 10E). Halter mostly grey ( Fig. 10F). Fore femur with a row of 3 strong setae on distal part of posteroventral surface. Abdominal tergites brownish yellow ( Fig. 10E, F); sternites yellow, about 2 times as wide as long. Male terminalia ( Fig. 46A–G): Epandrium with 13 setae on dorsal to posterior portions per side ( Fig. 46A). Surstylus with numerous setulae distally and some minute, serrated processes distoventrally ( Fig. 46C, D). Aedeagal sheath acute apically, with 1 pair of acute processes subapically ( Fig. 46E, F). Subepandrial sclerite vaulted ( Fig. 46G). Female terminalia ( Fig. 46H–J): Epiproct with several setae on distal 1/3 ( Fig. 46H). Cercus and hypoproct with numerous setae and much pubescence ( Fig. 46H, J). Eight sternite about 2 times as long as wide, mostly glabrous except with some setae distally ( Fig. 46I).
