03BB8201FFA55A0F5BA2FC3DFD69FA76.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Five species (subspecies) of Meloimorpha have been recorded worldwide, mainly in South and East Asia. There is only one species in China, comprising two subspecies M. japonica japonica and M. japonica yunnanensis, both of which are small with white antennae and brownish-yellow forewings. Here, we describe M. cincticornis which is larger, with alternating brown and black antennae and a deep black body. In addition, this species has a narrower middle lobe and a more elongated posterior marginal protuberance on the epiphallus. This is the first time that this species has been found in China.	en	Wang, Ning, Xie, Can-Hong, Zhang, Tao, Ma, Li-Bin (2025): New distribution records for Phalangopsinae, Indozacla Gorochov, 2018, and Meloimorpha cincticornis Walker, 1870 in China, along with a report on a new species Indozacla dorsiglaber Ma & Wang sp. nov.

This new species is similar to Indozacla discifera (Gorochov, 2003) in that males of both have ovoid forewings, females are wingless, and the epiphallus is curved at the anterior. However, in the males of the new species, the posterior margin of the supra-anal plate is slightly protruding, and the forewings extend to the middle of the first abdominal tergite, whereas, in males of the latter species, the posterior margin of the supra-anal plate is slightly concave, and the forewing completely cover the first abdominal tergite. In the new species, the middle protuberance of the epiphallus forms a dorsal spine and the middle of the ectoparamere has a small lateral protuberance, make it easy to distinguish between the two species, and we therefore consider the specimen collected from Tibet to be a new species (Table 2).	en	Wang, Ning, Xie, Can-Hong, Zhang, Tao, Ma, Li-Bin (2025): New distribution records for Phalangopsinae, Indozacla Gorochov, 2018, and Meloimorpha cincticornis Walker, 1870 in China, along with a report on a new species Indozacla dorsiglaber Ma & Wang sp. nov.
