Abstract

This paper describes a new species of genus Scaphoidella from Hainan Province, China, namely Scaphoidella datianensis sp. nov.The holotype specimen is deposited in the Institute of Zoology Chinese Academy of Sciences (IZCAS), paratype specimen is deposited in the Institute of Entomology, Guizhou University (IEGU). Scaphoidella datianensis sp. nov. (Figs) Body length (incl. tegm.): ♂ 4.5 mm, ♀4.7 mm. This new species is related to Scaphoidella undosa Zhang et Dai in the appearance, but can be distinguished from the latter by the following characteristics: 1) the vertex with irregular black pattern in anterior area; 2) the pygofer side without long caudal process directed ventrally; 3) the subgenital plate with much minute setae; 4) the paraphyses of aedeagus extending beyond shaft apex. Holotype ♂ (IZCAS), paratype 1♀(IEGU), Datian(19°25′N, 108°35′E), Hainan Province, 9-Ⅶ-2007, coll. by LI Yu-jian and ZHANG Bin. Etymology: The new species name is derived from the type locality Datian.
