(Fig. 144)

Coelophora chinensis Weise, 1912: 113 (Type locality: China).

Gyrocaria chinensis: Miyatake 1965: 65 .

Oenopia chinensis: Iablokoff-Khnzorian 1982: 426; Hoang 1983: 91; Poorani & Thangjam 2019: 550.

Diagnosis. Length: 3.50–4.00 mm; width: 3.00– 3.30 mm. Form circular, dorsum convex and glabrous. Head yellow in male and black in female, pronotum black with lateral flanks yellow, elytra black with three yellow spots on each elytron (Fig. 144a). Female genitalia (Fig. 144b) with a long, tubular and twisted infundibulum, spermatheca (Fig. 144c) and male genitalia (Fig. 144d–g) as illustrated.

Distribution. India (Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya); China; Laos; Vietnam.

Notes. It is superficially similar to O. sexareata and Oenopia formosana Miyatake 1967 (treated as a synonym of O. chinensis by Iablokoff-Khnzorian 1982). Poorani & Thangjam (2019) recorded it from northeastern India (Meghalaya). It appears to be a rare species for India.
