E-mail: jmorse@clemson.edu 3 Corresponding author. E-mail: lfyang@njau.edu.cn Abstract Four new species and 2 new records of the genus Polyplectropus Ulmer from China are described and illustrated. The new species include Polyplectropus cubitalis Zhong and Yang sp. nov., from Guizhou, Polyplectropus subteres Zhong and Yang sp. nov., from Jiangxi and Zhejiang, Polyplectropus tridentatus Zhong and Morse sp. nov., from Guangxi, and Polyplectropus tianmushanensis Zhong and Yang, sp. nov., from Zhejiang. Two species, Polyplectropus ahas Malicky and Chantaramongkol, 1993, and Polyplectropus anakgugur Malicky, 1995, are newly recorded from China, bringing the number of Chinese Polyplectropus species to 28. The newly recognized Polyplectropus anakgugur Group is probably monophyletic, as evidenced by ventromesal lobes of the inferior appendages short, positioned only at the bases of the inferior appendages. Introduction The genus Polyplectropus was established by Ulmer (1905) based on Polyplectropus flavicornis from Brazil (Li and Morse, 1997). One hundred and eighty-four species are known by the end of 2009 from all over the world except the West Palearctic Region (Malicky 2008, Zhong et al. 2008, Morse 2009), with most species diversity in the Oriental Region (OL, 115 species, with 1 species distributed in both Oriental and East Palearctic Regions) and the Neotropical Region (NT, 53 species), with a total of less than 20 species distributed in the Australasian (AU), Afrotropical (AT), East Palearctic (EP), and Nearctic Regions (NA). Twenty-two species presently have been documented from China (Zhong et al., 2008). Chamorro-Lacayo studied all the New World species of Polyplectropus, and confirmed that they belong to a monophyletic group. The monophyly was based on a comprehensive generic-level phylogeny of Polycentropodidae (Chamorro-Lacayo 2009); she also thought that there are many differences between the New World species and Old World species and believed the Old World species are distinct from the New World species (Chamorro-Lacayo personal communication, 2008). Li and Morse (1997) analyzed the Chinese Polyplectropus and established the P. inaequalis Group (5 species in OL, 1 species in both OL and EP). Flint suspected that many Old World species of Polyplectropus are not true congenerics, not belonging to the same monophyletic group as the New World species (Flint, 1968). We also were unable to identify synapomorphic features of Old World Polyplectropus. However, by comparing the Chinese species with descriptions of the other species in the OL and EP Regions, 2 consistently diagnostic features were found in OL and EP species, although they are not unique globally: 1) the intermediate appendages of X are absent and 2) the subphallic sclerite, originating in the phallocrypt, is mostly trough-like with a broad, plate-like bottom. The Polyplectropus anakgugur Group is newly recognized as monophyletic by the possession of the following synapomorphy: ventromesal lobes of inferior appendages are short, positioned only at the bases of the inferior appendages (the inferior appendages of these species resemble those of Cyrnellus). This species group includes 6 species: P. cubitalis sp. nov.; P. subteres sp. nov.; P. ahas Malicky and Chantaramongkol Accepted by R. Holzenthal: 18 Mar. 2010; published: 16 Apr. 2010 37

1993, n. rec. (China-Sichuan, Thailand); P. anakgugur Malicky 1995, n. rec. (China Guangxi, Anhui, Henan, Guizhou, Jiangxi; Malaysia); P. curvatus Li and Morse 1997 (Fujian), and P. prapat Malicky 1993 (Indonesia). Polyplectropus subteres sp. nov. is most closely related to P. curvatus, as suggested by the subrectangular preanal appendages, each with its ventral portion expanded as an oval plate. Polyplectropus ahas is a sister species of the lineage composed of P. anakgugur and P. prapat, as suggested by the homologously slender preanal appendages and the divided apex of each inferior appendage. The latter 2 species share the presence of lateral processes of terga IX+X. Terms for structures of the male genitalia are from Li and Morse (1997). All the type specimens are deposited in the Insect Collection of Nanjing Agricultural University. FIGURES 1 7.

Paratype: 1 male, same data as holotype. Diagnosis. This new species belongs to the P. anakgugur Group and is very similar to Polyplectropus anakgugur Malicky 1995, from Malaysia. It differs in that 1) the basal half of inferior appendage is broad and the apical half slender in lateral view (equally wide in P. anakgugur); 2) terga IX+X has no process (with a pair of horn-shaped processes in P. anakgugur); 3) the apex of the subphallic sclerite has a mesal U excision (a broad excision, with the mesal portion strongly protruded and with a small notch at its center in P. anakgugur). Etymology. The species name is a Latin adjective cubitalis (= cubital) to indicate the shape of inferior appendages in ventral view. Distribution. China (Guizhou). FIGURES 8 14.

This new species belongs to the P. anakgugur Group and is very similar to Polyplectropus curvatus Li and Morse 1997, from Fujian. It differs in that: 1) the dorsobasal process of each preanal appendage is recurved caudally 160 degrees, with distal end not reaching the apex of preanal appendage (recurved 90 degrees and reaching beyond the apex of the preanal appendage in P. curvatus); 2) the apex of the subphallic sclerite has a broadly rounded excision and median notch (a slight mesal excision occurs in P. curvatus). Etymology. The species name is a Latin adjective, subteres (= nearly column-shaped), indicating the shapes of inferior appendages. Distribution. China (Jiangxi, Zhejiang). Polyplectropus tridentatus sp. nov. Zhong and Morse (Figs. 15 21) Adult. Length of forewing 5.5 6.3 mm (N = 4). Head light brown with yellowish antennae, pronotum dark yellow, meso- and metanota brown, forewings light brown. Male genitalia. Posterior margin of sternum IX with broad U excision mesally and small median protrusion in ventral view. Terga IX + X short, tongue-like in dorsal view. Preanal appendage narrowed abruptly at 1/3 distance from base in lateral view, basal portion cone-shaped, apical portion approximately 2.5 times as long as basal portion, sub-oval; apex of preanal appendage strongly produced mesad in large, triangular projection bearing 3 stout teeth in both dorsal and ventral views. Dorsobasal process of preanal appendage triangular basally, recurved caudad at 1/3 distance from base, with recurved portion evenly turned upward and with acute apex. Inferior appendage constricted at middle in lateral view, approximately 2 times as long as basal width, distal portion of each appendage curved mesad with bilobed apex; in ventral view, with dorsal branch more highly sclerotized; ventromesal lobe produced mesad near middle of appendage, causing appendage to appear incised at right angle at middle of appendage. Subphallic sclerite trough-like in caudal view, apex with deeply rounded excision and mesal incision in ventral view. Phallus simple tube, about 4 times as long as average width.

Diagnosis. This new species is very similar to Polyplectropus rostriformis Zhong et al. 2006 from Anhui, in the general shape of the male genitalia. It differs from it in that: 1) apicolateral margin of each inferior appendage is broadly rounded (the outer apical angle is in right angle in P. rostriformis); 2) the dorsobasal process of each preanal appendage is arc-shaped with apex straight (sinuate in P. rostriformis with hooked apex); and 3) the apex of the subphallic sclerite is deeply excised in a V shape with a mesal oval excision (deeply excised in a V shape with a mesal V shape excision in P. rostriformis). Etymology. The species name derives from Tian-mu-shan, the type locality of this new species. Distribution. China (Zhejiang). FIGURES 22 28.
