Pedionis (Pedionis) dinghuensis View in CoL sp. nov.
( Figs. 1 View FIGURE 1. P I–L, 4)
Description. Length. Male 3.6 mm, female 3.8 mm.
Coloration. Body pale brown with numerous dark brown spots, striations on pronotum and head strong ( Figs. 1 View FIGURE 1. P I, J). Ocelli white, eyes pale brown ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1. P L). Scutellum triangular, yellowish, with scattered dark notches, base of lateral sides yellow ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1. P K). Forewing hyaline-brown, except basal and distal areas which are opaque chocolatebrown, venation fuscous spotted with white ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1. P J).
Morphology. Body stout and small. Face shorter. Hind tibial spinulation R1 11, R2 8, R3 5.
Male genitalia. Pygofer ( Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 A) with an obvious incision on dorsal margin, posterior half rather straight, caudo-dorsal angle with a small spine, several setae on ventral margin. Subgenital plate of uniform width, and with many setae, several especially long at the end. Style ( Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 G) parallel-margined and angled on apical third, apex obliquely truncate. Aedeagus shaft ( Figs. 4 View FIGURE 4 D, E) with 2 paired processes, subapical slender, fingerlike ones ventrally directed. Dorsal connective ( Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 F) sinuate, with broad base, apical half slender, with serrated mesal edge and provided with basal fingerlike process.
Female. Body coloration and appearance similar to male. 7th sternite with posterior margin sinuated, midline about 2.5 times longer than 6th, ovipositor strongly projecting beyond pygofer.
Distribution. China: Guangdong (Mt. Dinghu)
Material examined. Holotype. Male, China: Guangdong Province, Mt. Dinghu, 14 July 2005, coll. by Lu Lin. Paratypes: 1 male, 1 female, same data as holotype.
Remarks. Pedionis dinghuensis resembles P. rufoscutellata Huang & Viraktamath internally, but differs in having a pair of ventrally directed subapical aedeagal processes, and lacks falcate process on dorsal connective. P. rufoscutellata have processes perpendicular to shaft and have a large falcate medial process on dorsal connective.
Etymology. The new species epithet refers to the type locality, Mt. Dinghu in Guangdong Province, China.
