Body glossy, covered with short, semi-erect, simple setae. Head covered with sparse setae; antennae clothed with dark setae; first and second segments of labium covered with short, sparse setae. Pronotum densely covered with semi-erect, uniformly long setae; scutellum bearing sparse semi-erect setae. Legs covered with dense setae, apical part of femora relatively sparse; apex of fore tibia with a tuft of hairs representing an incipient grasping organ and with a comb for cleaning the antennae (Fig. 3 E). Corium and clavus with subreclining setae (inclination angle of semi-erect setae on body surface ranges from 30 ° to 60 °, while included angle between setae on wings and wing surface measures less than 30 °), denser setae on anterior and outer margins of corium; corium densely covered with recumbent short setae (Fig. 3 B). Ventral side of abdomen with sparse setae, lateral margins bearing dense setae. Apex of male genital segment with semi-erect setae (Fig. 2 G).</p><p>Structure. Head (Fig. 2 A) nearly cylindrical, distinctly narrowed towards apex in dorsal view, length slightly exceeding width; tylus broad, widening towards truncated apex. Eyes remote from collar. Ocelli small, with distance to eyes subequal to interocellar distance. Antennae slender; segment I thicker and shorter than others, slightly more than twice as long as tylus; ratio of lengths of antennal segments I: II: III: IV = 1: 2.4: 2.9: 4.3 (male) or 1: 2.6: 2.7: 4.1 (female) (see Table 1). Labium slender, apex extending beyond mid coxae; segment I short and broad; labial segment ratios I: II: III: IV = 1: 1.8: 2.5: 3.8.</p><p>Pronotum (Fig. 2 A) trapezoidal, maximum width slightly less than twice the maximum length, strongly arched in lateral view, with distinct collar; lateral margins slightly curved inwardly at 1 / 3 from posterior margin; posterior margin slightly rounded. Scutellum with basal width slightly greater than its length, nearly flat.</p><p>Legs relatively slender. Femora slightly thickened at middle. Tibiae straight, subparallel; fore tibia with cleaning comb on medial surface at apex (Fig. 3 E). Tarsi slender, 3 - segmented, segment I extremely short, segments II and III subequal in length (Fig. 3 D); fore and middle tarsi with three strong erect spines on segment III (Figs 2 D, 3 D); claws unequal in length (Figs 2 D, 3 F), weakly flattened, major (inner) claw very long, much longer than outer claw, ratio of outer to inner claws on all legs approx. 2: 3, fore major claws slightly longer than mid ones with no significant difference, hind leg claws shorter; parempodia well-developed, setiform (Fig. 3 F).</p><p>Hemelytra relatively broad, exceeding apex of abdomen, with anterior margin expanding. Costal margin of corium weakly sinuous, coriomembranal juncture nearly straight, well defined; corial process present sublaterally on membrane at juncture of corium and membrane (Fig. 3 A). Corial glands numerous but small, mainly distributed on posterior half of corium (Fig. 3 B); external component of corial gland elliptical, without constriction at middle, bearing elongate central mound, apex with gland pore (Fig. 3 C). Membrane with three straight, longitudinal, free veins (Fig. 2 B). Venation of hind wings as shown in Fig. 2 C; Cu with distal free branch. Abdomen oval, length about twice as long as its maximum width. Mediotergites membranous. Sterna fully sclerotized; first sternite with notch at middle of upper margin, extending about 1 / 3 toward lower margin.</p><p>Male genitalia (Fig. 2 E – G): pygophore short and broad, telescoped within abdominal segments VII and VIII, opening dorsad; parameres symmetrical, apex elongate, tubular, strongly curved near midpoint, apices exposed on dorsal surface, directed anteromedially; aedeagus chitinized, acus slender, apex acuminate.</p><p>Female genitalia (Fig. 2 H): no ovipositor or copulatory tubes observed.</p><p>Etymology.</p><p>The specific epithet refers to Hainan, China, the province of the type locality of the new species.</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>China (Hainan) (Fig. 5).</p><p>Key to species of Monteithophila</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/FD9E969008995470B4C59D8A47751001	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
