Description

The external male genitalia of 21 Chinese species of the genus Zeugophora (subfamily Zeugophorinae) are compared. A key is compiled to Chinese Zeugophora species based on external male genitalia with aid of other external morphological traits. One new species, Zeugophora (Pedrillia) liupanshanensis Li & Liang, sp. nov., is described from Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, China.
