Description
(Plate I, Figures 1–2)
Gurawa minorcephala Pruthi, 1930: 29, Plate II-Figs 10, 10a, 10b, Text-Figs 41–42; Zahniser, 2008: 22, Figs 77–85; Dai, Xing & Li, 2011: 38, Fig. 1.
Length. Male: 4.0– 4.7mm; female: 4.2mm.
Brownish-yellow with dark brown markings (Plate I: A–C). Vertex with broad longitudinal piceous median fascia, sometimes two or four fuscous spots on lateral margin (Plate I: A–B); face with black markings (Plate I: D). Pronotum with indistinct longitudinal shadings, one central pale carinate line, sometimes with indistinct lateral pale carinate lines and with a series of transverse linear dark spots before anterior margin (Plate I: A–B). Scutellum usually with piceous spot near each basal angle (Plate I: A–B).
Vertex shorter than interocular width (Plate I: A–B). Face longer than wide (Plate I: D). Pronotum shorter than vertex (Plate I: A–B). Scutellum nearly as long as pronotum (Plate I: A–B). Forewing inner anteapical cell either closed or open basally (Plate I: A–C).
Male genitalia. Pygofer side constricted preapically, hind margin slightly truncate (Figs 1A–B). Style preapical lobe stout and short, angular; apophysis long, digitate (Fig. 1D). Aedeagus arcuate in lateral view, apex widened with pair of short, pointed apical processes, lateral margin serrate (Figs 1F–G).
Female. Sternite VII posterior margin as in Plate I: E.
Material examined. China: Yunnan Prov.: 1♂, Jinping County, 1900m, 10.vi.2009, coll. Cui Wei (NWAFU); 1♀, Luchun County, 08.vi.2009, coll. Cui Wei (NWAFU); 1♂, Tengchong County, 1632m, 05.vi.2011, coll. Lu Lin (NWAFU); Shaanxi Prov.: 2♂, Feng County, Liufengguan, 17.vii.1995, coll. Zhang Wenzhu & Ren Liyun (NWAFU).
Distribution. China (Guizhou, Yunnan, Shaanxi); India.
Remarks. Pruthi described this species from India based on two males and two females from India. Identification of our Chinese materal is made from a comparison of Pruthi’s figure of the male genitalia, in particular the shape of the aedeagal apex in lateral view. Li’s (1986) record of G. vexillum from China, may be this species. His figure (habitus only), is very similar to G. minorcephala. Zahniser (2008) provided good photographs of this species, including the male and female genitalia.
