sp. nov.

Longicornus biprocessus View in CoL sp. nov.

Figs.10–12 View FIGURES 1–12 ; 34–40 View FIGURES 34–40 .

Description. General appearance as in Longicornus furcatus sp. nov., but body color darker and frontoclypeus with dark, transverse streaks.

Male genitalia. Pygofer side elongate, base wide, apex narrow, with numerous macrosetae on posterior area ( Fig. 34 View FIGURES 34–40 ). Aedeagal shaft tapered in lateral view, with two pairs of processes: one pair spiniform and arising from ventral margin near base; other pair long and slender, arising from mediodorsal margin, extended to apex of shaft and directed caudally. Gonopore apical on dorsal side ( Figs.37, 38 View FIGURES 34–40 ). Connective with arms nearly 1/5 length of stem ( Fig. 39 View FIGURES 34–40 ).

Measurement. Length (including tegmen): Ƌ, 5.7–5.9 mm; ♀, 6.8 mm.

Type Material. Holotype: 1 ♂, China: Sichuan Prov., Chongzhou, Anzihe , 28 July 2016, coll. Bin Yan ( GUGC) ; Paratypes: 2♂♂ 1 ♀, same data as holotype ( GUGC) .

Remarks. The new species is similar to L. flavipuncatus but can be distinguished from the latter by the long aedeagal shaft with two pairs of processes medially on the dorsal margin.

Etymology. The new species name is derived from the Latin words “ bi -”and “ processus ”, referring to the aedeagus with two pairs of processes.
