3.3 Ommatius jianfenglingensis View in CoL sp. nov. ( Figs 14–18 View Figs 14-18 , 21 View Figs 19–21 )
Diagnosis. This species is similar to O. corolla in that the epandrium is narrow in dorsal view ( Fig. 14 View Figs 14-18 ) but is significantly different in the nearly truncate apex, and is separated by the following characters: scape and pedicel yellow, postpedicel brown; thorax mostly yellow; hind femur yellow, brown dorsally and apically. In O. corolla the scape and pedicel are black, postpedicel is brownish-yellow; the thorax is black; and the hind femur is mostly black, brown at basal 1/3. O. jianfenglingensis sp. nov. is also diagnosed by: facial bristles mixed pale and brown; mystax and postocular bristles pale; antennal scape and pedicel yellow, postpedicel brown; thorax mostly yellow; coxae and fore and mid femora yellow; epandrium slightly prolongated apically in dorsal view.

© Zoological Systematics, 39(4): 561–569 yellow, postpedicel brown, nearly twice as long as combined length of scape and pedicel. Proboscis black, pale hairs basally and apically; palpus black, hairs and bristles black.
Thorax. Mostly yellow, white tomentose. Dorsal half of antepronotum black, pale hairs and 2 pale bristles. Mesonotum largely black, posterior area near postalar callus yellow; 4 dc, 2 npl, 1 spa and 1 pal, all black except last one of dc yellow. Scutellum black, discal hairs and 2 marginal bristles pale. Thirteen katatergal bristle pale. Wing hyaline, brownish tinged, especially on apical 1/4; microtrichia dense on apical 1/3; crossvein r-m at apical 1/3 of discal cell. Anal cell closed with short stalk. Halter yellow.
Legs. Yellow. Coxae yellow, dense pale hairs and bristles, hind coxa with 1 pale bristle medially. Trochanters yellow. Fore femur yellow, ventral hairs pale (longest ones as long as greatest vertical height of femur); mid femur yellow, 1 black bristle at basal 1/3 anteriorly, 1 pale bristle at apical 1/3 anteriorly, and pale ventral hairs (shorter than greatest vertical height of femur); hind femur brownish-yellow except dorsally and apex dark brown, basal 1/3 pale haired ventrally, longest as long as greatest vertical height of femur. Fore tibia yellow, short hairs ventrally, 2 long pale bristles posteriorly; mid tibia yellow, with 2 ad, 2 v and 2 pv, both pale; hind tibia yellow except apical 1/3 dark brown, with 2 ad, 2 pad and 1 av. Fore and mid tarsi yellow, apex of tarsomeres 1–4 brown, tarsomere 5 brown to dark brown, narrow base paler, hind tarsus largely dark brown, narrow base pale, hairs and bristles black.
Abdomen. Tergites 1–6 black, with posterior and lateral margin yellow. Sternites 1–5 yellow, sternite 6 black at middle, sternites 7–8 entirely black. Hairs on tergites pale and black mixed, but posterior margin bristles and lateral bristles pale except those on tergites 7–8 black. Male genitalia ( Figs 14–19 View Figs 14-18 View Figs 19–21 ). Epandrium slightly prolonged dorsally like a corner, hypandrium triangular in ventral view; gonocoxite with 1 strong black bristle at apical 1/3.
