Metriocnemus (Metriocnemus) wangi Saether

Metriocnemus wangi Sæther, 1995: 41; Wang (2000: 637)

Material examined.

CHINA: Sichuan Province, Jinfo Mountain, 30°3'30"N, 103°53'15"E, 2 males [holotype / paratype], 10.v.1986, light trap, X. Wang.

Remarks.

We examined the holotype and paratype specimens which are described by Sæther (1995) from China. According to Sæther (1995), the male can be separated from all other members of the euryotus group except Metriocnemus (Metriocnemus) albolineatus by the short virga (about 26 µm long), subcosta with 42-70 setae, and cell m with 113-144 setae. The species is close to Metriocnemus (Metriocnemus) albolineatus sharing the short virga and general wing chaetotaxy. It differs from Metriocnemus (Metriocnemus) albolineatus by having an AR = 0.5-0.6 and a much shorter anal point.

Distribution.

This species was only described from Oriental China by Sæther (1995).
