NEW SPECIES OF CHINESE ARADIDAE (HEMIPTERA-HETEROPTERA:ARADIDAE)

The present paper deals with, four new species of Aradidae from China. Among them one species belongs to the subfamily Aradinae, two to the Aneurinae and one to the Carvantinae. All the holotypes and allotypes are deposited in the Tianjin Museum of Natural History.Aradus wuzhisanensis sp. nov. (figs. 1,2.)Very close to A. candidatus Bergroth 1899, from Tenasserim, bat differs from it by the head shorter than width across eyes; characters of antennal segments also different.Holotype (?), Guangdong, Hainan Is.Aneurus elongatus sp. nov. (figs. 3,4.)This new species may be easily separated from all the known Aneurus by its longer and narrower body; the dorsum is shining and smooth.Holotype (?). Guangdong, Hainan Is.Aneurus hubetensis sp. nov. (figs. 5,6,7.)Allied to A. sinensis Kiritshenko 1913, but differs from it by the 4th antennal segment elongate cylindrical and longer than the 2nd and 3rd together; scutellum semicircular, etc.Holotype (?), allotype (?), Hubei, Shennongjia.Carventus hainanensis sp. nov. (figs. 8,9.)Similar to C. vietnamensis Kormilev 1959, in general appearance, but anterior process of head reaching 2/3 of 1st antennal segment; spiracles of 3rd abdominal segment ventral, not visible from above; without T-shaped median carina on disc of seutellum, etc.Holotype (?). Guangdong, Hainan Is.
