Description

Six new species of the genus Sudesna are described from South China: S. cangshan sp. nov. (♀, Yunnan), S. dali sp. nov. (♂♀, Yunnan), S. haiboi sp. nov. (♂♀, Yunnan), S. hainan sp. nov. (♂♀, Hainan), S. shangrila sp. nov. (♂♀, Yunnan) and S. yangi sp. nov. (♂♀, Yunnan). Dictyna yongshun Yin, Bao & Kim, 2001 is proposed here as a junior synonym of S. hedini (Schenkel, 1936). Detailed descriptions, photographs, along with illustrations of genital organs, somatic features, and a distribution map of Sudesna species in China are provided.
