Cyrta Melichar, 1902, Paracyrta Wei, Webb &amp; Zhang, 2008, and Trunchinus Zhang, Webb &amp; Wei, 2007, in general appearance and in having the laterofrontal sutures extending well onto the vertex, with their apices converging (arrowed in Fig. 1 D). Minucella differs from the above and other genera in the following characters: colour pattern consisting of dorsal symmetrical pale patches on the head and thorax (Fig. 1 D) and face with gena and variably on other areas below antennae black (Fig. 1 C); forewing with a very small 5 th apical cell and claval veins fused (Fig. 1 E); male pygofer with large, lobe-like, inner dorsal lateral process. Female first valvifer relatively long, visible in undissected specimens.</p><p>Description.</p><p>Colour pattern consisting of dorsal symmetrical, bright, pale patches on head and thorax (Fig. 1 D), and face with gena and variably on other areas below antennae black (Fig. 1 C); pronotum medially and scutellum black (Fig. 1 D); forewings transparent, with a dark-brown, transverse band across corium from outer discal cell (Fig. 1 A).</p><p>External features with head distinctly narrower than pronotum, with eyes laterally encroaching onto pronotum; vertex similar in length or slightly longer medially than next to eyes; coronal suture distinct, extending anteriorly to anterior margin of crown; antennae very long. Scutellum relatively long, medially keel-like (Fig. 1 B). Forewing with inner margin of clavus elevated beyond scutellum (Fig. 1 B); with a very small 5 th apical cell and claval veins fused at midlength (Fig. 1 E). Fore femur dorsally and anteriorly with numerous spine-like setae (Wei et al. 2008: figs 4, 5). Hind leg at rest with femur extending well forward to eye (Fig. 1 D).</p><p>Male genitalia. Pygofer side usually rectangular, rarely triangular (in M. angusta), with a large, lobe-like inner dorsal process; dorsally and caudally with a few short, spine-like setae (Fig. 2 A). Basal segment (Xth) of anal tube moderately long to long. Valve long and broad, laterally rounded (Fig. 2 B). Subgenital plate short and triangular; apex with a few short, spine-like setae. Connective T-shaped, with stem longer than arms (Fig. 2 G). Style with long outer basal arm and very short, lobe-like inner basal arm; apophysis moderately long and narrow, with apex turned laterally and finely pointed (Fig. 2 F). Aedeagus with shaft antero-dorsally curved, cylindrical to laterally expanded, usually with two pairs of distal processes, rarely with three pairs of distal processes (in M. elongata), or with a single ventral basal process (in M. divaricata); basal apodeme moderately long. Dorsal connective between aedeagus and anal tube well developed (Wei et al. 2008: fig. 17).</p><p>Female genitalia. Female 7 th sternite with posterior margin medially with a very distinct V-shaped incision and laterally with a rounded incision. First valvifer relatively long, visible in undissected specimen. Female pygofer with incurved ventroposterior margin. First valvulae sculpture comprising striations and scale-like rows, arranged longitudinally basally and oblique to transverse more distally. Second valvulae with blade-like area extending over distal half, relatively broad in lateral view, with teeth robust and truncate; dorsal sclerotised and hyaline areas absent. Third valvulae with ventral margin slightly incurved at midlength; expanded distal region extending over distal one-half.</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>Although some female specimens were collected during this study from Yunnan and Fujian Provinces, i. e. non-topotypical, they could not be associated with the males. This is because, although there are some differences in colour pattern between males of our new species, it has been shown that the colour pattern in species of this genus, i. e. in M. leucomaculata, is very variable (Wei et al. 2008: fig. 24), and therefore colour pattern alone is not a reliable feature to identify species. However, another possible character to identify females could be differences in the shape of the posterior margin of the seventh sternite. In this respect, our female specimens differ from the female of M. leucomaculata (Wei et al. 2008: fig. 19) in having the V-shaped medial incision and the curved lateral incision variably more pronounced. Therefore, if, in the future, females could be associated with males, either by finding male and female in copulation or by molecular studies, it might be possible to identify females based on the shape of the seventh sternite.</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>Oriental Region (China).</p><p>Key to species (♂) of Minucella</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/B7A25C9729005994B8CC00008C584463	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
