Stegana (Steganina) flavipes Li & Chen View in CoL , sp. nov.

( Figs. 8E, 8F View FIGURE 8 , 38 View FIGURE 38 )

Diagnosis. This species is similar to S. (S.) silvestrella sp. nov. in the shape of male terminalia ( Figs. 38 View FIGURE 38 , 61 View FIGURE 61 ), but can be distinguished from the latter by having the small pregonite with 2 sensilla ( Fig. 38C, D View FIGURE 38 ); the aedeagus lacking serrated process ( Fig. 38C, D View FIGURE 38 ).

Description. Male and female: First flagellomere brown. Clypeus brownish yellow medially, yellow laterally. Mesonotum brown medially, yellow laterally ( Fig. 8E View FIGURE 8 ). Katepisternum yellowish ( Fig. 8F View FIGURE 8 ). Scutellum dark brown to black ( Fig. 8E View FIGURE 8 ). Halter mostly greyish ( Fig. 8F View FIGURE 8 ). Fore femur with a row of 4 thin, long setae on distal part of posteroventral surface. Abdominal tergites dark brown medially, yellow laterally ( Fig. 8E, F View FIGURE 8 ); sternites yellow, about 1.6 times as wide as long. Male terminalia ( Fig. 38 View FIGURE 38 ): Epandrium with ca. 8 setae on dorsal to posterior portions per side ( Fig. 38A View FIGURE 38 ). Surstylus slightly oval, with some setulae along distal margin and inner surface, lacking pubescence ( Fig. 38A, B View FIGURE 38 ). Cercus with sparse pubescence ( Fig. 38A View FIGURE 38 ). Hypandrium expanded anteromedially ( Fig. 38C, D View FIGURE 38 ). Aedeagus tubular, slightly expanded distally, lacking serrated processes and pubescence ( Fig. 38C, D View FIGURE 38 ). Aedeagal sheath small, lacking serrated process ( Fig. 38E, F View FIGURE 38 ). Subepandrial sclerite broadened, slightly squared ( Fig. 38G View FIGURE 38 ).
