Treatment

Amiota (Amiota) wuyishanensis Chen and Zhang , sp. nov.

( Figure 23 View Figure 23 )

Diagnosis. Parameres slightly sclerotized, distally with two pointed processes ( Figure 23C, D View Figure 23 ), inter-laterally with one triangular process and one knot-like process having four sensilla.

Description

Wing. Wing with 24–26 minute, peg-like spinules on ventral surface of costal vein between R 2+3 and R 4+5.

Male terminalia. Epandrium separated laterally at mid-dorsal portion, with ca 23 setae near posterior to ventral margins ( Figure 23A View Figure 23 ). Surstylus pubescent, slightly expanded at posteroventral corner, medially with three setae, with eight prensisetae on distal margin, and many setae on ventral margin and outer mesal surface. Gonopods separated medially, sclerotized medially, each with three finger-like, apical processes and two sclerotized lateral processes ( Figure 23C View Figure 23 ). Aedeagus fused to paramere ( Figure 23D, E View Figure 23 ). Ejaculatory apodeme: apical plate with four pits on each lateral margin; stalk thick, long ( Figure 23F View Figure 23 ).

Measurements. BL 52.52 mm in holotype (2 „ paratypes: 2.45–2.47); ThL51.00 mm (1.00–1.10); WL 51.92 mm (1.90–2.00); WW 50.88 mm (0.84–0.90).

HOLOTYPE: „, Fujian: Mt Wuyi , 18 July 2001, ex tree trunk, H.-W. Chen leg. ( KIZ).

PARATYPES: 2 „, same data as the holotype ( DBSU and SEHU). Yunnan: 2 „, Yixiang , 15 September 2002, ex tree trunks, H.-W. Chen leg. ( DBSU) .

Distribution. China (Fujian, Yunnan).

Relationship. This species closely resembles A. (A.) dentata in the morphology of male terminalia, but can be distinguished from it by the paramere with two processes (with one pointed process in dentata ).

Etymology. In reference to the type locality.
