Abstract

In this paper 4 new species are described and a key to Chinese species of Heteropelma Wesmael is appended. All specimens (including type specimens) are deposited in the Institute of Zoology, Academia Sinica.1.Heteropelma arcuatidorsum sp. nov. Male: Front wing 11.5mm.This new species is related to Heteropelma amictum (Fabricius), but may be separated by: meso-seutum nearly rounded and in front of it highly arched; seoond tarsal segment of hind legs being round pillar-form, its broad as wide as apex of basitarsus,Holotype. Longsheng (Guangxi), 5. VI. 1963, allotype , Xishuangbanna (Yunnan), 1750m. 24. VI. 1958, Paratype 14, among 12, ditto Holotype, 2, ditto Allotype.2.Heteropelma crassoclypeum sp. nov. Male : Front wing 9.5 mm.This species, is related to Heteropelma fulvitarse Cameron, but it is different from the latter by center of face slightly elevated, and with coarser punctures; the apex of clypeus more narrow and clearly thicken; mesoscutum with wrinkles; hind basitarsus 2 times as long as second tarsal segment.Holotype , Emei Mount (Sichuan), 550-750m. 23. V. 1957, Paratype 3, among 1, Xishuangbanna (Yunnan) 1200-1400m, 14. VIII. 1957, 2, Hainan Dao (Guangdong), 30. IV. 1930.3.Heteropelma flaviorbitum sp. nov. Female : Front wing 14 mm.This species is similar to Heteropelma perornatum Cameron, but may be distinguished from it, by vertex with closely and larger punctures; pronotum finely wrinkled and it's hind angle with close punctures; lower part of mesupleurum with fine punctures and upper part of speculunm finely wrinkled; scutellum yellow; hind basitarsus 3 times as long as second tarsal segment.Holotype , Xishuangbanna (Yunnan), 1300m, 2. VII. 1958.4.Heteropelma inclinum sp. nov. Male : Front wing 13.5 mm.This species is closely related to Heteropelma elonyatum Uchida, but is differnt from it by: Face evenly elevated and with fine punctures, it's length 1.5 times as wide as apex part of face; mesoseutum finely and closely punctated; hind basitarsus 4 times as long as second tarsal segment.Holotype, Emei Mount (Sichuan), 1800-2000 m, 17.
