Macrolycus jianfenglingensis Li, Bocak & Pang, 2015:325, Figs 7, 24, 25, 43.

Material examined.

China • 2♂ (IZAS); Hainan, Jianfengling; 1984; G. Q. Mai leg.

Descriptive notes.

Male (Fig. 3B ). Antennae (Fig. 5B ) flabellate, overlapping two-thirds the length of the elytra when inclined. Antennomere II transverse; III-XI lamellate, lamella of antennomere III 0.8 times as long as joint itself, and lamella of IX longest, 5.1 times longer than joint itself. - Aedeagus: median lobe nearly in a horizontal line between basal and apical parts on dorsal side in lateral view (Figs 4F , 8A ); obviously curved at base in dorsal (Fig. 4D ) and ventral (Figs 4E , 8B ) views, subapical part inflated laterally and feebly inflated dorsally (Fig. 4F ), ventral cavity nearly oblong, apical part nearly parallel-sided, slightly sinuate before apices, with a deep V-shaped notch at apex (Fig. 4D ).

Distribution.

China (Hainan).

Remarks.

We have provided a detailed description of the characteristics of antennomere III and male genitalia here.

Figure 8. Differences in the shape of the median lobe of the Macrolycus dotatus species group in relative warps computed from the dataset in lateral (A) and ventral (B) views, plotted against one another to indicate positions of the relationships among the species. The shape changes of different species implied by variation along the first two relative warp axes. Shape changes are shown as deformation of the GLS reference, using tps configurations. The reference configurations (situated at the origin) shown in lateral (a) and dorsal (b) views, those at the left, right, top and bottom are indicated by arrows, and each species is represented by a different color.
