Description.

Male. Body dark reddish, with the coloration similar to Salganea taiwanensis .

Vertex sparsely punctate, exposed; face densely punctulated; ocelli round and distinct. Anterior margin of pronotum weakly thickened, with a small mesial emargination, a protuberance on the each side of the excision; anterior half of pronotum depressed, the surface sparsely granular; posterior half punctured, with 2 tubercles (Fig. 9). Tegmina and wings mutilated, probably fully developed (Fig. 9). Anterior ventral margin of front femur with 2 spines and a small distal spine, hind margin with a large distal spine. T4-T7 with holes on the anterolateral corners which are surrounded by fine hairs, the holes on T4 are very small; lateral margins of T7 Panesthia-like (Fig. 46). Supra-anal plate densely punctate, hind margin with 10 subequal teeth, obtuse rounded (Fig. 47). The last abdominal sternite and subgenital plate were broken.

Male genitalia. Genital phallomere L1 lost; L2d elongate, apically acute and forked, with a lateral lobe (Fig. 48); R2 reduced, clavate (Fig. 49).

Measurements.

Male, 3 th– 5th maxillary segments: 0.73/0.76/1.05mm; pronotum: length × width: 5.1 × 9.5mm; distance between disc tubercles: 2.2mm; body length: 27.4mm; fore leg: coxae: 2.42mm, trochanter: 1.64mm, femur: 3.47mm, tibia: 2.48mm, 1 st– 5th tarsus: 0.70/0.30/0.19/0.26/1.34mm; mid leg: coxae: 3.31mm, trochanter: 2.74mm, femur: 4.33mm, tibia: 3.96mm; hind leg: coxae: 2.57mm, trochanter: 2.72mm, femur: 4.43mm, tibia: 5.92mm; cerci: 0.71mm.

Material examined.

One male (holotype of Panesthia guangxiensis Feng & Woo, 1990), China: Guangxi Prov., Mt. Jinxiulaoshan, 6 September 1981, collector unknown. (SWU)

Remarks.

Although the lateral margin of T 7 is Panesthia -like, the characters of the holes in anterolateral corners of T4-T7 associated with setae, and the ridge along with the lateral margin of S7 are more typical of the genus Salganea . Thus, we place this species in genus Salganea . It is very similar to Salganea taiwanensis , only differing in the rounded teeth in the hind margin of supra-anal plate. To be rigorous, the relationship between this two species requires more specimens to provide an absolute determination.
