Cyrta fujianensis View in CoL sp. n. ( Fig. 10 View FIGURE 10 )

Description. Body length: ɗ 6.5mm; Ψ 7.1–7.5mm. Body colour generally pale yellow; face face with distal area of frontoclypeus, anteclypeus, lora and distal area of gena dark brown; anteclypeus with pair of stout setae apically ( Fig. 10 View FIGURE 10 C). Pronotum with disc darker; scutellum with a dark upside-down Y-shaped mark and long yellowish white tufts of hairlike setae ( Fig. 10 View FIGURE 10 D).

Male pygofer with dorsal margin somewhat straight; a long inner process curved dorsally, tapering to apex ( Fig. 10 View FIGURE 10 G). Subgenital plate not extending beyond to apex of pygofer side; fused with valve basally, apex rounded in ventral ventral view ( Figs 10 View FIGURE 10 F, G). Aedeagal shaft broad basally and evenly tapered to rounded apex in lateral view ( Fig. 10 View FIGURE 10 B), narrow in ventral view ( Fig. 10 View FIGURE 10 E).

Type material. Holotype: ɗ ( NKU), CHINA: Fujian Prov., Nanjing Co., 4-V-1965, Wang Liangchen. Paratypes, CHINA, Fujian Prov., Dehua Co.: 1Ψ ( SHEM), 26-IV-1962, Jin Gentao; 1Ψ ( CAU), 6-XI-1974.

Etymology. The specific name is derived from the type locality.

Remarks. This species is similar to C. striolata , C. flosifronta , C. incurvata and C. coalita in having an inner pygofer process. It can be distinguished from these by: 1) subgenital plate roundly convex apically and fused to valve basally; 2) aedeagal shaft broad basally and evenly tapered to rounded apex in lateral view, narrow in ventral view.
