Jintanmaoshan [常州金坛茅山], 18. V. 2024, Tiangjiao Wang &amp; Zhe Yu (CAU) .</p><p>Etymology.</p><p>The species name refers to the type locality, Changzhou, Jiangsu Province, China. In ancient times, this region was part of the Lanling Commandery [兰陵郡], established during the Southern and Northern Dynasties (circa 502 AD). The administrative centre of Lanling Commandery was located within the present boundaries of modern Changzhou. Over time, the name “ Lanling ” was gradually replaced by “ Changzhou ” due to changes in administrative divisions, but the historical name remains significant. The specific epithet honours this ancient connection to Lanling, where the type specimen was collected.</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>China (Jiangsu).</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>The new species belongs to the D. hastatus species-group by the male gonocoxite 9 generally with inflated proximal half and unguiform or bifid tip, the slender elongate male gonocoxite 10, which is generally much longer than gonocoxite 9 and by the slender beam-shaped male fused gonocoxites 11, which is generally expanded on both ends.</p><p>Concerning the species of the D. hastatus species-group, the new species appears to be closely related to the species distributed in East Asia, such as D. japonicus McLachlan, 1883, D. septentrionalis, D. taiwanensis and D. tianmuanus, in having similar male genital characters, for example, the presence of posterodorsal digitiform projection of male ectoproct, the male gonocoxite 9 with spoon-shaped proximal half and the male fused gonocoxites 11 generally laterally bifurcated at the end. However, D. lanlingensis sp. nov. can be distinguished from the other species by the distinctly bifid, posterodorsal digitiform projection of the ectoproct (Fig. 3 B, F) and the male gonocoxite 9 directed posteroventrally, not incurved in dorsal view (Fig. 3 B, F). In the other East Asian species of the D. hastatus species-group, the digitiform posterodorsal projection of the male ectoproct is serrated or convex, not distinctly bifurcated and the male gonocoxite 9 is generally strongly incurved in dorsal view (Zhang et al. 2014 c, 2015).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/82AD930CB06452918CDCB5B8C030E7DE	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The Chinese species of Dilar are divided into five species-groups in Zhang et al. (2015). Here, by adding new species published after Zhang et al. (2015), we re-classify the species-groups in China and propose a new species-group. A total of six Dilar species-groups are currently recorded in China, as follows:</p><p>The Dilar hastatus species-group: 16 species are recorded from China, i. e. D. bifurcatus Zhang, Liu, H. Aspöck &amp; U. Aspöck, 2015, D. chebalingensis Zhang, Liu, H. Aspöck &amp; U. Aspöck, 2015, D. hastatus Zhang, Liu, H. Aspöck &amp; U. Aspöck, 2014, D. longidens Zhang, Liu, H. Aspöck &amp; U. Aspöck, 2015, D. maoershanensis Zhang, Liu, H. Aspöck &amp; U. Aspöck, 2015, D. pallidus Nakahara, 1955, D. septentrionalis Navás, 1912, D. sinicus Nakahara, 1957, D. stenopterus Yang, 1999, D. taibaishanus Zhang, Liu &amp; H. Aspöck &amp; U.

This species-group is characterised by the proximally inflated male gonocoxite 9, with unguiform or bifid tip and by the slender elongate male gonocoxite 10, which is generally much longer than gonocoxite 9.</p><p>The Dilar guangxiensis species-group: 10 species are recorded from China, i. e. D. dulongjiangensis Zhang, Liu, H. Aspöck &amp; U. Aspöck, 2015, D. geometroides H. Aspöck &amp; U. Aspöck, 1968, D. guangxiensis Zhang, Liu, H. Aspöck &amp; U. Aspöck, 2015, D. harmandi (Navás, 1909), D. insularis Zhang, Liu, U. Aspöck in Zhang et al. 2014, D. lulanae sp. nov., D. tibetanus Yang, 1987, D. yangi Zhang, Liu, H. Aspöck &amp; U. Aspöck, 2015, D. yucheni Li, H. Aspöck, U. Aspöck &amp; Liu, 2021 and D. zhangweiae Li, H. Aspöck, U. Aspöck &amp; Liu, 2021 . This species-group is characterised by the male tergum 9 with a posteromedial projection (= dorsoprocessus), which is generally cone-shaped and by the male gonocoxite 10 generally with a pointy lobe connecting to gonocoxite 9 submedially.</p><p>The Dilar yunnanus species-group: Three species are recorded from China, i. e. D. dongchuanus Yang, 1986, D. megalopterus Yang, 1986 and D. yunnanus Yang, 1986 . This species-group is characterised by the strongly inflated male gonocoxite 9 with unguiform or bifid tip and by the fused male gonocoxites 11 nearly W-shaped, with median portion convex posteriad.</p><p>The Dilar lijiangensis species-group: Four species are recorded from China, i. e. D. lijiangensis Zhang, Liu, H. Aspöck &amp; U. Aspöck, 2015, D. nobilis Zhang, Liu, H. Aspöck &amp; U. Aspöck, 2015, D. weibaoshanensis Li, H. Aspöck, U. Aspöck &amp; Liu, 2021 and D. puerensis sp. nov. This species-group is characterised by the slender elongate male gonocoxite 9, which is inflated at base and by the slender elongate male gonocoxite 10, which are bifurcated submedially.</p><p>The Dilar spectabilis species-group: Four species are recorded from China, i. e.

This species-group is characterised by the generally dark wings, the male gonocoxite 10 submedially with an additional flake-like lobe connecting to gonocoxite 9 and the male ectoproct with a pair of laterally curved unguiform projections at tip.</p><p>The Dilar caesarulus species-group: Only one species is recorded from China, i. e. D. kirgisus H. Aspöck &amp; U. Aspöck, 1967 . Notably, this species-group is primarily distributed in Central Asia. Apart from D. kirgisus, there are other four members, i. e. Dilar caesarulus H. Aspöck &amp; U. Aspöck, 1967, Dilar dochaner H. Aspöck &amp; U. Aspöck, 1968, Dilar hornei McLachlan, 1869 and Dilar vartianorum H. Aspöck &amp; U. Aspöck, 1967 . This species-group is characterised by the densely-spotted forewings, the male tergum 9 with a nearly rectangular posteromedial projection (= dorsoprocessus), the male ectoproct with a slightly convex anterior margin and lateral prominences, the male gonocoxite 9 acutely narrowed distad and the strongly arched fused male gonocoxites 11.</p><p>However, the remaining 11 species from China, i. e. D. canyuanensis Li, H. Aspöck, U. Aspöck &amp; Liu, 2021, D. cornutus Zhang, Liu, H. Aspöck &amp; U. Aspöck, 2015, D. daweishanensis Li, H. Aspöck, U.
