1. Rufitidia fissa Zou & Zhang View in CoL sp. nov.
( Figs 1a–d View FIGURE 1 , 2 View FIGURE 2 )
Description. Vertex yellow, with two small dark brown spots, whitish towards eyes ( Figs 1a, c View FIGURE 1 ). Coronal suture short, about 1/2 vertex middle length, broad dark brownish longitudinal streak in the coronal suture accompanied with two small roundish patches laterally ( Figs 1a, c View FIGURE 1 ). Eyes grey. Face frontoclypeus area brownish, with areas of yellowish ( Fig. 1d View FIGURE 1 ). Pronotum anterior and lateral regions yellow or brownish yellow, with irregular dark brown or black patterns; central part and posterior region from brownish to dark brownish ( Figs 1a, c View FIGURE 1 ). Forewing brownish yellow ( Figs 1a, b View FIGURE 1 ).
Abdominal apodemes small and short ( Fig. 2b View FIGURE 2 ).
Pygofer lobe broad, with some microsetae scattered in the middle of lobe, ventro-cephalic angle and near caudal margin ( Fig. 2a View FIGURE 2 ). Dorsal appendage curved ventrally, slightly branched at apex ( Figs 2a, c View FIGURE 2 ). Subgenital plate elongated, acutely narrowed in apical part, with four macrosetae not far from apex, with a few similar microsetae scattered caudally ( Fig. 2a View FIGURE 2 ). Anal tube appendage tapering apically and nearly right-angle curved ( Fig. 2a View FIGURE 2 ). Style slim, apex sharp ( Figs 2e, f View FIGURE 2 ). Aedeagal shaft compressed, with one pair of apical processes extended ventrad, and two pairs of subbasal processes extended dorsad, one process on ventral side divided from shaft near middle and irregularly serrated ventrally in lateral view ( Figs 2g, h, i View FIGURE 2 ). Connective Y-shaped, arms long, central lobe absent, manubrium short and inflated ( Fig. 2d View FIGURE 2 ).
Measurement. Length of male 3.4–3.5mm (including wing).
Material examined. Holotype: ♂, CHINA, Yunnan Prov., Nujiang , 20 June 2019, coll. Lin Lv ; Paratypes: 3♂, same data as holotype .
Remarks. This new species has all the general characteristics of R. trinotata Dworakowska, 1994 , but can be distinguished by the dorsal appendage curved ventrally, slightly branched at apex; aedeagal shaft with one process on ventral side; the ventral edge of the shaft or the process irregularly serrated in lateral view; forewing brownish yellow.
Etymology. The specific epithet is derived from the Latin “fissus” (cleft), referring to the ventral process split from the aedeagal shaft in lateral view.
