Pedionis (Pedionis) spinata View in CoL sp. nov.
( Figs. 1 View FIGURE 1 C–D, 3 B, 5 A–F)
Description. Length. Male 3.9 mm.
Coloration. Pale brown with dark brown spots. Anteclypeus dark brown in apical half. Pronoutm ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 C, D) darker than head. Scutellum ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 C) with central area darker than lateral and caudal areas. Forewing ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 C, D) brownish with apical areas of claval vein, apex of clavus and irregular spot near apex of corium, dark brown; venation dark brown with white spots. Legs brown with paler markings.
Morphology. Body comparatively slender and small. Clypeus expanded; anteclypeus tapered. Pronotum as long as scutellum. Hind tibial spinulation R1 11, R2 9, R3 5.
Male genitalia. Pygophore ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 A) without caudo-dorsal spine usually found in Pedionis , setae on ventral margin relatively stout. Subgenital plate, style and connective similar to that in P. garuda . Aedeagus ( Figs. 5 View FIGURE 5 C, D) shaft with triangular lobe-like projection on dorsal margin, with subapical lateral expansion ventro-posterior view, with pair of small spine-like processes subapically; dorsal connective simple, distal part curved with marginal serrations.
Female. Unknown.
Distribution. China: Hainan (Mt. Wuzhi)
Material examined. Holotype. Male, China: Hainan province, Mt. Wuzhi (18°77΄N, 109°50΄E), 1200 m, 15 July 2007, collected by Zhang Bin.
Remarks. Pedionis spinata resembles P. rufoscutellata Huang & Viraktamath externally, but differs in having the posterior margin of the pygophore truncate apically without a ventral process; and subapical margin of the aedeagal shaft with a large triangular expansion along the ventral margin.
Etymology. The specific name refers to spine-like process of the aedeagal shaft.
