Abstract
New morphological, taxonomic and faunistic data of the genus Deinopteroloma Jansson, 1946 from China are provided. Two species are described and illustrated: D.songi Peng & L.-Z. Li, sp. n. (Xizang: Pailong) and D.spinigerum Peng & L.-Z. Li, sp. n. (Hunan: Mangshan). New provincial records are provided for D.hamatum Smetana, 1996 from Anhui, Zhejiang and Jiangxi, D.obtortum Assing, 2015 from Sichuan, and D.tricuspidatum Smetana, 1996 from Zhejiang.
Highlights
New morphological, taxonomic and faunistic data on the genus Deinopteroloma Jansson, 1946 includes 26 species distributed in Palaearctic and Oriental regions, with 12 of them known from China
The examined material is deposited in the following public collections: SNUC Insect Collection of Shanghai Normal University, Shanghai, China CNC Canadian National Collection of Insects, Ottawa, Canada
Based on the coloration of the body, 6–8 smooth tubercles of the elytra, the presence of pronounced elevations on the pronotum and elytra, as well as the morphology of the aedeagus, the new species is most similar to D. sextuberculatum Shavrin & Smetana, 2016, from which it can be distinguished by the darker coloration, the smaller size (D. sextuberculatum: 4.25–4.92 mm), the shape of the pronotum, the deeper posterior excision of the male sternite VIII and the stouter median lobe of the aedeagus
