Stegana (Steganina) yixiang Zhang & Chen View in CoL , sp. nov.

( Figs. 14C, 14D View FIGURE 14 , 64 View FIGURE 64 )

Diagnosis. This species is similar to S. (S.) yani sp. nov. in the shape of male terminalia ( Figs. 63 View FIGURE 63 , 64 View FIGURE 64 ), but can be distinguished from the latter by having the surstylus with numerous pubescence on outer surface ( Fig. 63A View FIGURE 63 ); the aedeagus with numerous regular, minute, serrated processes distomedially ( Fig. 63B, C View FIGURE 63 ); the subepandrial sclerite deeply bifurcated basally ( Fig. 64F View FIGURE 64 ).

Description. Male: First flagellomere brownish yellow. Clypeus yellow. Mesonotum and scutellum yellow ( Fig. 14C View FIGURE 14 ). Katepisternum brownish yellow ( Fig. 14D View FIGURE 14 ). Halter mostly grey ( Fig. 14D View FIGURE 14 ). Fore femur with a row of 3 thin setae on distal part of posteroventral surface. Abdominal tergites brownish yellow to brownish ( Fig. 14C, D View FIGURE 14 ); sternites brownish, slightly wider than long. Male terminalia ( Fig. 64 View FIGURE 64 ): Epandrium with ca. 9 setae on dorsal to posterior portions per side ( Fig. 64A View FIGURE 64 ). Surstylus lacking serrated process, with 1 peg-like tooth and some setulae near distal margin ( Fig. 64A View FIGURE 64 ). Cercus with sparse pubescence ( Fig. 64A View FIGURE 64 ). Hypandrium roundly expanded anteromedially ( Fig. 64B, C View FIGURE 64 ). Pregonite blurry or absent ( Fig. 64B, C View FIGURE 64 ). Aedeagus with numerous minute, serrated processes distolaterally ( Fig. 64B, C View FIGURE 64 ). Aedeagal sheath distally slender, strongly dorsad curved, and with some minute, serrated processes ( Fig. 64D, E View FIGURE 64 ).
