Description

Stegana (Steganina) baoxing Li & Chen, sp. nov.

(Figs. 6C, 6D, 28)

Diagnosis. This species is similar to S. (S.) alafoliacea sp. nov. in the dark body color (Fig. 6A–D), but can be distinguished from the latter by having the surstylus lacking serrated process (Fig. 28A); the aedeagus rounded distally in ventral view (Fig. 28B); the aedeagal sheath lacking serrated process (Fig. 28D, E).

Description. Male: First flagellomere brown. Clypeus dark brown medially, yellow laterally. Mesonotum and scutellum dark brown to black (Fig. 6C, D). Katepisternum brownish (Fig. 6D). Halter mostly grey (Fig. 6C). Fore femur with 3 thin, long setae on distal part of posteroventral surface. Abdominal tergites dark brown to black (Fig. 6C, D); sternites brown, about 2 times as wide as long. Male terminalia (Fig. 28): Epandrium with ca. 8 setae on dorsal to posterior portions per side (Fig. 28A). Surstylus slightly curved subdistally, with 1 peg-like tooth and several setulae near distal margin (Fig. 28A). Cercus with much pubescence (Fig. 28A). Hypandrium expanded anteromedially (Fig. 28B, C). Pregonite small, lacking sensillum (Fig. 28B, C). Aedeagus slightly expanded distally, with numerous minute, serrated processes distolaterally and pubescence medially (Fig. 28B, C). Subepandrial sclerite slightly split distally (Fig. 28F).
