Type host. Crossoptilon crossoptilon crossoptilon (Hodgson, 1838) —white eared-pheasant.

Type locality. Szechwan [= Sichuan Province, China] .

Description.

Both sexes. Head broad, frons broadly rounded ( Fig. 13–14 View FIGURES 13–14 ). Marginal carina slender. Dorsal preantennal suture extends far lateral to ads. Head chaetotaxy as in Fig. 13 View FIGURES 13–14 . Lateral margins of postantennal head convex. Thoracic and abdominal plates and chaetotaxy as in Figs 13–14 View FIGURES 13–14 . Reticulation extensive across pterosternal plate, metepisternum, tergopleurites, and sternal and female subgenital plate.

Male. Antennae as in Fig. 28 View FIGURES 25–28 ; size of scape tooth-like projection difficult to assess, as antennae of all examined males are slightly twisted; rugose area of flagellomere I extensive. Accessory sternal plates absent; stylus broad, lateral margins slightly concave; reticulation of subgenital plate absent ( Fig. 83 View FIGURES 82–84 ). Basal apodeme relatively broad ( Fig. 54 View FIGURES 45–56 ). Mesosome large, distal margin convergent, with median section concave, rugose areas broadening laterally; antero-lateral hooks prominent. Gonopore large ( Fig. 56 View FIGURES 45–56 ). Ventral sclerite as in Fig. 56 View FIGURES 45–56 , with square-shaped median extension on anterior margin; two pores visible on each side sublaterally on posterior margin, no submedian pores visible. Parameres stout, parameral heads large ( Fig. 55 View FIGURES 45–56 ); pst1–2 close together near apical end of paramere. Measurements as in Table 1 View TABLE 1 .

Female. Tergopleurites IX+X and XI separate ( Fig. 14 View FIGURES 13–14 ). Subgenital plate diffuse, but seemingly shaped as in Fig. 74 View FIGURES 73–74 , separated medianly but with each part large; reticulation of subgenital plate weak. Vulval margin deeply and broadly concave ( Fig. 74 View FIGURES 73–74 ), with 20–21 short setae marginally on each side. Posterior lobes of abdomen slender and slightly extended. Subvulval plates broad, tapering somewhat anteriorly; proximal end reaching anterior to vulval margin. Measurements as in Table 1 View TABLE 1 .
