Abstract

Two species of genus Pion Schidte,1839,P. qinyuanensis Chen,Sheng et Miao,1998 collected from Henan,Shannxi and Shanxi Provinces and P. yifengensis sp. nov. collected from Jiangxi Province are reported. The main characters for separating the new species from the similar species in the genus was indicated. The specimens are deposited in the General Station of Forest Pest management,State Forestry Administration,Shenyang,China.Pion yifengensis sp. nov.(Figs 1-5)The new species is similar to P. qinyuanensis Chen,Sheng et Miao,but can be distinguished from the latter in having the median section of clypeus slightly concave,without sublateral projecting; apical area of propodeum with median longitudinal carina; hind femur except dorsal portion of apex black,and abdominal terga except first tergum black,reddish brown; hind tibia mainly brown. P. qinyuanensis:the median section of clypeus not concave,with weak sublateral projecting; apical area of propodeum without median longitudinal carina; hind femur mainly,at least inner profile,and first and apical abdominal terga black; hind tibia almost black.Holotype ♀,Guanshan Natural Reserve Region,Yifeng County (28.3°N,114.7°E),Jiangxi Province,430 m,20 Apr. 2009,YI Ling-Li and LI Yi.
