AMIOTA POLYTRETA XU & CHEN SP. NOV. ( FIG. 4 View Figure 4 )
Specimens examined: Holotype male ( SCAU 121077 ) and three male paratypes ( SCAU 121278–121280 ),
China, Yixiang, Puer , Yunnan, 1320 m a.s.l., 15 September 2002, 2 October 2011, H.W. Chen .
Etymology: From the Greek word: polys + tretos, referring to the paramere with dense pits.
Diagnosis: This species is very similar to A. sinuata in the male terminalia, but can be distinguished by the following characters: in A. sinuata the paramere is flat on the apical margin in lateral view, and medially has one row of pits on distal part ( Fig. 1C View Figure 1 in Chen & Toda, 1998b).
Description: Male. Thorax yellow, with dark-brown patches and stripes; pleura brown; scutellum yellow, brown on margin. Abdominal tergites black; first to third yellow, medially. Male terminalia: epandrium pubescent, except for anterior and ventral margins, with ~11 setae near posterior margin on each side of the body ( Fig. 4A View Figure 4 ). Surstylus with several setae and about eight prensisetae ( Fig. 4B View Figure 4 ). Paramere apically round, and distally with two groups of paramarginal pits in lateral view ( Fig. 4C View Figure 4 ). Vertical lobe of gonopod broad, arched, slightly sclerotized ( Fig. 4C View Figure 4 ). Aedeagal apodeme longer than wide ( Fig. 4C View Figure 4 ). Female: unknown.
