Pseudostegana minutipalpata View in CoL sp. nov.
( Figures 1G,H View Figure 1 ; 2D View Figure 2 ; 6 View Figure 6 )
Diagnosis
Paramere subapically strongly sclerotized, acute projection ( Figure 6D,E View Figure 6 ); aedeagus apically slightly expanded to hammer-shape in lateral view, with lobe-shaped basal processes ( Figure 6D,E View Figure 6 ).
Description
Only important characters are described here.
Head. Ocellar triangle and frons brown. Pedicel yellow; first flagellomere black. Face, clypeus, gena brown. Palpus brown and slender, rod-shaped in male.
Thorax. Scutum yellow on anterior one-third, brown to black on posterior twothirds. Pleura brown on upper part, black on lower part, slender, rod-shaped in male. Katepisternal setae two. Scutellum brown.
Legs. Yellow, black on all knee joints.
Abdomen. Tergites mostly brownish black. Sternites greyish yellow. Male terminalia. Epandrium roundly protruded on ventral margin, with about 18 setae ( Figure 6A View Figure 6 ). Surstylus protruded on posteroventral corner ( Figure 6A,B View Figure 6 ). Cercus ventrally round in lateral view ( Figure 6A View Figure 6 ), dorsally elongated in posterior view ( Figure 6C View Figure 6 ). Paramere with expanded lobe bearing two long sensilla subapically and several sensilla on dorsomedial projection ( Figure 6D,E View Figure 6 ).

Type material
Holotype male ( SCAU No. 120555), China: Mengla, Xishuangbanna , Yunnan, 21°28′ N, 101°38′ E, altitude 570 m, 21 April 2007, swept over fallen logs, J.J. Gao. GoogleMaps
Etymology
A combination of the Latin words: minutus plus palpus, referring to the small palpus.
Distribution
