Abstract

In this paper a new species of the genus Anatkina and two new species of the genus Atkinsoniella are described. The type specimens are deposited in Northwest Sci Tech University of Agriculture and Forestry (NWSTUAF). 1. Anatkina zuoi, sp. nov. (Figs.1~9) Length incl. tegm.: ♂11.1 mm. This species is related to Anatkina nigriventris Li, but can be distinguished from the latter by pronotum orange without black spots; forewing also orange with only one black spot at base and a broad stripe at end; the end of male pygofer process with two branches equally whose apex not to the outer margin of pygofer side; the shape of subgenital plate, aedeagus and style obviously different. Holotype ♂, Jianyang (340 m-440 m), Fujian Province, 12-Ⅳ-1960, coll. Zuo Yong. The specific name is a patronym in honor of the collector. 2. Atkinsoniella lii, sp. nov. (Figs.10~18) Length incl. tegm.: ♂8.0 mm. This species is similar to Atkinsoniella nigridorsum Kuoh et Zhuo in appearance, but its male crown and face all black; forewing with basal half area red not three red stripes as the latter; the shape of male pygofer process, aedeagus and paraphysis also distinctly different from the latter. Holotype ♂, Jinping (1200 m), Yunnan Province, 20-Ⅴ-1956, coll. Li Chuanlong. The specific name is a patronym in honor of the collector. 3. Atkinsoniella huangi, sp. nov. (Figs.19~28) Length incl. tegm.: ♂8.4 mm. This species has unique maculae and stripes pattern on head and thorax and forewing, and aedeagus furcate medially, by which can be easily separated from any other species of the genus. Holotype ♂, Jinping (1700 m), Yunnan Province, 16-Ⅴ-1956, coll. Huang Keren. The specific name is also a patronym in honor of the collector.
