Sasajiscymnus fulvihumerus ( Yang & Wu, 1972)

( Figs 32 View FIGURE 32 , 69 View FIGURE 69 )

Chinese name: Ñġḧ瓢•

Pseudoscymnus fulvihumerus Yang & Wu, 1972: 123 (type locality: Puli, Nantou, Taiwan, China).— Yu 1995 a: 129; Pang et al. 2004: 87; Kovář 2007: 582.

Sasajiscymnus fulvihumerus: Iqbal et al. 2020: 383 .

Diagnosis. This species is similar to S. seminigrinus ( Yu & Pang, 1993) in body size and external colouration, but can be distinguished from the later by the penis guide apically blunt in ventral view ( Fig. 32d View FIGURE 32 ). In S. seminigrinus , penis guide has a small protuberance at apex in ventral view (Fig. 38k).

Description. TL: 2.0 mm, TW: 1.3 mm.

Body oval, moderately convex, surfaces covered with short pubescence. Head yellow with interocular distance distinctly greater than eye width in frontal view. Pronotum and scutellar shield yellowish brown. Elytra yellow with a large black marking near the base. Ventral surfaces yellowish brown to black. Legs yellowish brown. Abdominal postcoxal lines incomplete, not recurved toward the base of ventrite ( Fig. 32a View FIGURE 32 ).

Male genitalia: Penis stout, penis capsule with stout outer arm and long inner one, apex of penis expanded with distinct membranous appendage ( Figs 32b–c View FIGURE 32 ). Penis guide with prominent keel at base in lateral view, then tapering towards apex; parameres about 1/3 as long as penis guide, with a tuft of long setae at apex; penis guide widest at base in ventral view ( Fig. 32d View FIGURE 32 ).

Female genitalia: Unknow.

Material examined. Holotype: China: Taiwan: ♂, Puli Town , Nantou County, 17.III.1972, Yang CT leg ( NCHU).

Distribution. China (Taiwan).
