Abstract
A new subgenus of Euconnus Thomson, Chenzhilinus subgen. nov., is erected for E. (C.) huapingensis sp. nov. collected from Huaping National Nature Reserve in the southern Chinese province of Guangxi. The new subgenus is morphologically most similar to Euconnus s. str. and appears to represent a derived form of the nominotypical subgenus. Chenzhilinus is primarily characterized by two putatively apomorphic traits: the submentum is clearly demarcated laterally by an additional pair of posteriorly convergent hypostomal carinae; and the aedeagus is devoid of parameres.
期刊介绍:
Zootaxa is a peer-reviewed international journal for rapid publication of high quality papers on any aspect of systematic zoology, with a preference for large taxonomic works such as monographs and revisions. Zootaxa considers papers on all animal taxa, both living and fossil, and especially encourages descriptions of new taxa. All types of taxonomic papers are considered, including theories and methods of systematics and phylogeny, taxonomic monographs, revisions and reviews, catalogues/checklists, biographies and bibliographies, identification guides, analysis of characters, phylogenetic relationships and zoogeographical patterns of distribution, descriptions of taxa, and nomenclature. Open access publishing option is strongly encouraged for authors with research grants and other funds. For those without grants/funds, all accepted manuscripts will be published but access is secured for subscribers only.
