Euryale and Stheno were immortal, which is a fitting expression of our hope that the deep-rooted association between Rhinolophus stheno and Ascodipteron euryale sp. nov. will continue long into the future.</p><p>Type material.</p><p>Holotype. China – Yunnan Province • ♀ (dealate); Pu’er City, Simao District, <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=100.71306&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=22.603878" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 100.71306/lat 22.603878)">Liushun Town, Xianren Cave</a>; 22°36'13.96"N, 100°42'47.01"E; 2428 m a. s. l.; 30 Aug. 2022; H. R. Sun and L. Ding leg.; ex. Rhinolophus stheno, in the ear; BFU-2473; MBFU . Paratypes. China – Yunnan Province • 4 ♀ (dealate); same data as holotype; BFU-2474, BFU-2475-1, BFU-2475-2, BFU-2476; MBFU .</p><p>Description.</p><p>Female. Head. Labial theca slightly longer than wide; posterior margin concave dorsally, convex ventrally. Labial theca dorsally with c. 130 + pigmented, peg-like, spiniform setae and ventrally with c. 140 + similar setae. Gena with c. 40 irregularly scattered peg-like setae, anterior part bare in ventral view, posterior margin concave laterally, convex medially. Arista with multiple fine branches, basal antennal segment with single long seta. Lateral vertex twice as long as wide, with concave anteromedial margin; adorned with 23–28 long, thin setae on each side.</p><p>Thorax. Scutum with numerous long setae, but devoid of setae along mid-line. Anepisternum (mesopleuron) with 0–3 setae anterior to the large, round spiracle; setae posterior to spiracle of two varieties: 2–6 short, peg-like, spiniform setae (lower one-third); 17–26 longer, slender setae (upper two-thirds). Anepimeron (pteropleuron) with 8–11 peg-like setae and 3–11 long, slender setae unevenly distributed. Meron (hypopleuron) and katepisternum (sternopleuron) without setae. Prosternum without setae, mesosternum rounded on postero-lateral margin, with 6–8 peg-like or slender setae, metasternum with 1–2 slender setae.</p><p>. Abdominal setae arranged roughly into annular rows, conventionally referred to as R 1–5, with R 1 the proximal and R 5 the distal row. R 1 and R 2 with short, thick setae forming irregular rings that sometimes look like 3 rows; R 3 and R 5 with longer and more slender setae, R 4 absent. R 1, R 2 and R 3 incomplete ventrally and R 5 only found ventrally; 8 long ventral spiracular setae (VSS) in arching row or grouping between spiracles 7; 2 medial spiracular setae (MSS) with paired symmetrical groups situated between spiracles 6 and 7 on each side; 6 long dorsal spiracular setae (DSS) in single arching row between spiracles 5. Cercus with a few minute setae.</p><p>Dimensions. Head and thorax: total length 1.5 mm; labial theca, length: 0.6 mm, width: 0.5 mm; terminalia, diameter: 1.1 mm; neosome, length: 3.4 mm.</p><p>Male. Unknown.</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>Oriental — China (Yunnan).</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>Ascodipteron euryale sp. nov. is most similar to A. guoliangi Sun, Ding, Pape &amp; Zhang, 2022, and it will run to couplet 16 in the identification key to dealate ascodipterine females proposed by Sun et al. (2022). It can be incorporated in that key as follows.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/11D938D54B8E535ABD4F5F91BAB08DBA	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
