Description

Diniella Bergroth, 1893

Dinia Stål, 1874, K. Svenska Vet. Akad. Handl. 12: 154,158; Slater, 1964: 818 –820; O’Donnell, 1991: 455 –457; Slater & O’Donnell, 1995: 96 –97; Hua, 2000: 188–189; Péricart, 2001: 156 –157.

Diagnosis. Body small, less than 5 mm, surface shining. Head basally with a pair of iridescent areas. Underside of head strongly swollen, transversely rugose. Rostrum reaching meta- or mesocoxae. Pronotum with collar relatively broad but not distinctly demarcate from pronotum, lateral pronotal margin blunt. One seta present on each anterior lateral angle. Scutellum flat, finely punctate. Clavus with three rows of punctures. Fore femora slightly incrassate, mutic; tibiae with slender spines.

Notes. Fifteen species are recognized in this genus in the world. Most species are distributing in the Oriental Region: 10 in the Oriental Region, three in Africa, one in Japan (Slater, 1964; Slater & O’Donnell, 1995; Zheng & Zou, 1981a). Zheng Leyi (1981) recorded four species from China, and subsequently described a new species, Diniella yinae Zheng & Liu 1992. The latter is considered as a new synonym of Lamproceps antennatus (Scott), in this paper, thus reducing the number of species in China from 5 to 4.
