Abstract

A new species of the mycetoporine genus Parabolitobius Li, Zhao & Sakai, 2000, P. macropterus sp. nov., is described from Meiling National Forest Park, Jiangxi Province, East China, which represents the second confirmed species of this group in the country. The new species is characterized by the parameres of the aedeagus distinctly exceeding the median lobe-a condition similar to those found in P. prolongatus (Sharp, 1888), distributed in Japan. However, P. macropterus sp. nov. can be readily separated by the black coloration of the pronotum, significantly longer elytra, and fully developed hind wings.

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.
