Description
Genus Zonitomorpha Péringuey, 1909
Remarks. There are three species from East Asia with similar morphology except for the coloration of antennae. Zonitomorpha cribripennis (Fairmaire, 1894) (from Bengale; Fig. 3): antennae are almost yellow, only slightly dark on the apical one or two antennomeres; Zonitomorpha davidis (Fairmaire, 1886) (from Beijing, China; Fig. 4): antennomeres VI–XI dark, I–V yellow; Zonitomorpha kimi (Kôno, 1936) comb. nov. (from Korea; see fig. 3 in Kôno 1936a): antennomeres I–III yellow, IV–XI dark.
We are not sure if this difference in the antennal coloration represents intraspecific variation or diagnostic features for species, which requires further investigation on male genitalia or molecular data.
