Sorineuchora hispida sp. n. Figs 9, 12 G–J

Type material.

Holotype male (IESWU), China, Guangxi, Guiping, Longtan Park, 30 May– 02 June 2014, light trapping, Shun-Hua Gui leg. Paratypes. 1 female, 3 males, same data as holotype.

Diagnosis.

Pronotal disk brown, with a yellowish brown, longitudinal stripe (Figs 9B, 12G); paraprocts similar, sheet-like, with a branch (Fig. 9D); the left apex of R3 with many setae (Fig. 9G). Using these traits, the new species can be distinguished from its congeneric species.

Supra-anal plate with hind margin rounded and weakly concave medially, lateral margins oblique, paraprocts similar, sheet-like, with a branch respectively (Fig. 9D). Subgenital plate with subsymmetrical hind margin, a pair of styli similar, both apexes with several asymmetrically distributed spines (Fig. 9E).
