Scaphoideus maai Kitbamroong & Freytag, 1978:15 View in CoL ; Zhang, 1990:90, fig. 86. Scaphoideus albotaeniatus Kuoh, 1986: 197 View in CoL ; Li & Wang, 1991: 195.
Coloration and structure ( Figs. 2 View FIGURE 2 C, H, M, 3F) as in S. coniceus View in CoL and as described by Kitbamroong & Freytag (1978). Head nearly as wide as pronotum. Whitish longitudinal stripe on crown and scutellum with two pale brown bands at lateral margin ( Figs. 2 View FIGURE 2 C, H, 3F). Face grayish white with one brown anterior marginal line and three interrupted lines below this one ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 M). Forewings with two reflexed cross veins between outer anteapical cell and costal margin, basal reflexed vein basad of outer anteapical cell ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 C, H).
Male genitalia. Pygofer elongate with blunt apex ( Fig. 11 View FIGURE 11 A, B). Subgenital plate triangular, with 3 long macrosetae near base and fine hair on basal margin ( Fig. 11 View FIGURE 11 C). Style with broad anterior part, shoulder is triangular with round apex, apical process curved to acute apex with group of setae at base ( Fig. 11 View FIGURE 11 C, D). Connective with Ushaped developed arms and longer stem; connective processes divergent and pointed apically ( Fig. 11 View FIGURE 11 C, E).
Aedeagus with well developed dorsal apodeme, shaft cylindrical and apex curved posteriorly with 2 pairs of small triangular processes, 1 pair apical and other pair middle ( Fig. 11 View FIGURE 11 F, G).
Female genitalia. Caudal margin of seventh sternum medially convex ( Figs 4 View FIGURE 4 D, H). Other characteristics ( Figs. 14 View FIGURE 14 J–L, 15J–L, 16J–L) as in S. albovittatus Matsumura.

Distribution. China (Yunnan, Hainan), Thailand
Remarks. This species was described from Thailand by Kitbamroong & Freytag (1978). Subsequently, S. albotaeniatus was described from Yunnan, China by Kuoh (1986) based on one female specimen and synonymized with S. maai by Zhang (1990). S. maai has similar appearance to S.coniceus , S. intermedius and S. kumamotonis , but it can be easily differentiated by its peculiar male genitalia structures. The shape of the pygofer in S.maai is not as elongate as in the other two species, the connective processes are more slender and the aedeagus is of different shape.
