3 Anelytra jinghonga sp. nov. ( Figs. 8–16 , 32 , 36 , 40 )

Male. Body medium size. Fastigium verticis conical, protruding forwards, apex obtuse. Pronotum comparatively long, anterior margin broadly rounded, posterior margin slightly concave in middle, transverse sulcus weak, paranota longer than high, ventral margin subsinuate, humeral sinus hardly indicated. Anterior area of mesopleura with a conchate projection behind auditory spiracle. Procoxa with a spine, profemur with 3 spines on internal and external ventral margins, protibia with 4–6 spines on internal and external ventral margins, tympanal organs narrow; mesofemur with 3 spines on ventro-external margin, mesotibia with 8 spines on ventro-external margin; postfemur with 7–8 spines on ventro-external margin, also posttibia with 7– 8 spines on internal and external sides of dorsal margin, and with a pair of dorsal apical spurs and two pairs of ventral apical spurs. Tegmen short, mostly covered by pronotum, apex reaching posterior margin of metanotum.

Tenth abdominal tergite long with broad basal part; apical part comparatively narrow, with small indentation in middle, also with short median longitudinal sulcus. Cerci stout in basal half, apical half divided into two branches, dorsal branch bent, curved interno-dorsad, apex acute, ventral branch curved internoforwards, apex acute. Titillators long, dorsal apical area slightly broad and depressed, with small acute tooth.

Subgenital plate long, basal and apical area narrow, in middle little widened, apical margin long-triangularly excised, styli short.

Body light brown, dorsal margin of frons black; apical, ventral and lateral margins of fastigium verticis brown; frons, pronotum and abdominal tergites with net-shaped blackish brown stripes. Apices of protibia, mesotibia, spines of femora and tibiae reddish brown or blackish brown.

Female. Unknown.

Measurements(mm). Body 322.0, pronotum35.5, tegmen31.2, postfemur310.0.

Type material. Holotype: male, Jinghong, Yunnan, China, 3 Aug., 2006, collected by Hao-Yu Liu.

Remarks. The new species resembles Anelytra indigena Gorochov, 1994 , differs in: apical margin of tenth abdominal tergite with long-triangular indentation; cerci with one curved, subapical, dorsal branch; apical branch curved internally.

Distribution. China (Yunnan).

Etymology. The name of the new species refers to the type locality.
