Treatment

Macroplea pubipennis ( Reuter, 1875) .

( Figs 51 View FIGURES 50 – 53 , 57 View FIGURES 54 – 59 , 61, 65 View FIGURES 60 – 67 , 69 View FIGURES 68 – 71 )

Specimens examined. Total 3 specimens. 1 female, “Ningxia, Qingtongxia, Shuxin Forest, 1985. IV.17, Guodong Ren collector, Department of Landscape Architecture in Agricultural College of Ningxia”; 2 specimens from Ost- Turkestan, Aksu, 1067m, 1903.V, Coll. Hauser, Haemonia piligera Weise, Lopatin det. [Examined by the second author (Yu) at Bishop Museum and National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, respectively].

Distribution. China (Heilongjiang, Ningxia, Gansu, Xinjiang), Finland.

Host plant. Unkown in China.

Remarks. Macroplea pubipennis was formerly known only from Finland ( Jolivet, 1970; Borowiec, 1984). Askevold (1990: 648) treated Haemonia piligera Weise, 1889 (type locality: Kansu = Gansu) and Haemonia incostata Pic, 1907 (type locality: Ost-Turkestan, Aksu = Xinjiang, Aksu) as junior synonyms of M. pubipennis , thus extending its distribution to China. Recent molecular evidence demonstrated that M. pubipennis is present in Heilongjiang ( Kölsch et al., 2006). We examined one female (in bad condition) from Ningxia, China.

We have not examined the male genitalia of M. pubipennis . However, from the photograph in Askevold (1999: 607: Photograph O), it is clear that its endophallic structure is similar to that of M. appendiculata , M. mutica and M. ranina sp. nov.
