2. Rufitidia dissidens Lin & Zhang View in CoL sp. nov.
( Figs 1e–h View FIGURE 1 , 3 View FIGURE 3 )
Description. Vertex pale yellow, with two small brown spots, whitish towards eyes ( Figs 1e, g View FIGURE 1 ). Coronal suture distinct, broad dark brownish longitudinal streak in the coronal suture accompanied with two small roundish patches laterally. Eyes black. Head slightly narrower than greatest width of pronotum ( Figs 1e, g View FIGURE 1 ). Face pale yellow, with areas of white ( Fig. 1h View FIGURE 1 ). Frontoclypeus area and anteclypeus posterior region light brown. Pronotum anterior region pale yellow, with two small round brown spots; central part and posterior region from brownish yellow to brown, with irregular dark brown or black patterns ( Figs 1e, g View FIGURE 1 ). Forewing overall pale white, base and inner margin brownish gray ( Figs 1e, f View FIGURE 1 ).
Abdominal apodemes small and short ( Fig. 3b View FIGURE 3 ).
Pygofer lobe broad, with some microsetae scattered in the middle of lobe, ventro-cephalic angle and near caudal margin ( Fig. 3a View FIGURE 3 ); dorsal appendage u-shaped, pointed at both ends ( Figs 3a, c View FIGURE 3 ). Subgenital plate extended to hind margin of pygofer lobe, acutely narrowing at apex, with four macrosetae not far from terminal part, of which two are longer and two shorter ( Fig. 3a View FIGURE 3 ). Anal tube appendage tapering apically and nearly right-angle curved ( Fig. 3a View FIGURE 3 ). Style slim, apex sharp ( Figs 3e, f View FIGURE 3 ). Aedeagal shaft compressed, with one pair of subapical processes extended ventrad, and two pairs of subbasal processes extended dorsad, ventral edge of shaft irregularly dentate in lateral view ( Figs 3g, h View FIGURE 3 ). Connective V-shaped, manubrium short ( Fig. 3d View FIGURE 3 ).
Measurement. Length of male 3.3–3.4mm (including wing).
Material examined. Holotype: ♂, CHINA, Fujian Prov., Nanping , 19 July 2017, coll. Shuanghu Lin ; Paratypes: 2♂, same data as holotype .
Remarks. This new species is similar to R. trinotata Dworakowska, 1994 , but can be distinguished by the ushaped dorsal pygofer appendage, pointed at both ends; the ventral edge of the shaft irregularly dentated in lateral view; with one pair of subapical processes extended ventrad.
Etymology. The specific epithet is derived from the Latin “dissidens” (different), referring to the dentate edge of the aedeagus.
