Shibinga grossiprocessa Lin & Zhang sp. nov.

( Figs 1q–t , 7 )

Description. Crown dark brown, anterior margin rounded, with small pale yellow spots at vertex. Eyes blackish or dark brown. Other external characteristics as in the generic description ( Figs 1q, r, s, t ).

Abdominal apodemes resembles Shibinga gracilprocessa ( Fig. 7b ). Anal tube with poorly sclerotized structure ( Fig. 7a ).

Pygofer lobe with posterior margin rounded, with several microsetae at cephalo-ventral angle and numerous microtrichia scattered on caudal half ( Fig. 7a ). Characteristics of dorsal appendage, style and connective characters as in generic description ( Figs 7a, c, d, e, f ). Subgenital plate short and slim, with about 3 macrosetae in the middle ( Fig. 7a ). Aedeagal shaft tubular, slightly curved dorsad, with pair of basal appendages extremely long and similar in width to shaft ( Figs 7g, h ).

Measurement. Male 2.45mm, female 2.40–2.50mm.

Material examined. Holotype: ♁, CHINA, Zhejiang Prov., Lishui , 2017.Ⅴ.20, coll. Shuanghu Lin ; Paratypes: 5♁ 5♀, same data as holotype .

Remarks. This new species is similar to Shibinga gracilprocessa , but has the subgenital plate slim and the aedeagal shaft tubular and wider than the basal appendages in lateral view. Shibinga graciliprocessa has the subgenital plate more robust and the aedeagal shaft compressed with basal appendages as wide as the shaft.

Etymology. The specific epithet is derived from Latin words “ grossus ” and “ processus ” referring to the robust aedeagal shaft basal appendages.
