4.2 Cingola ceratodicrata sp. nov. ( Figs 5–6 , 12–15 , 17)

Male. Body colour brown. Body length 1.40–1.50 mm. Wing length (measured from the base) 1.15–1.25 mm. Wing width 0.50–0.60 mm.

Head ( Fig. 12 ). 2nd flagellomere with the node 1.7–1.8 times as long as wide and the neck 0.9–1.0 times as long as wide, 0.26–0.27 times length of node; 3rd flagellomere as circularis in Fig. 1 . Others as C. circularis .

Thorax ( Fig. 13 ). Wing ( Fig. 14 ) 2.1–2.2 times as long as wide. R 5 only with one pore at basal 1/3. Femur of fore-, mid- and hindlegs shorter than tibia, with proportions respectively 0.76–0.79, 0.77–0.79 and 0.79–0.82 times; the second tarsus of foreleg 0.98–0.99 times shorter than tibia. Others as C. circularis . Abdomen ( Fig. 15 ) same as C. circularis . Genitalia ( Figs 5–6 , 17): gonocoxite with slender, protruding outward and densely pubescent mediobasal lobe having the length approximately half of aedeagus; gonostylus slender and strongly arched inwardly at basal 1/3; cerci separated deeply and broadly with a U-shaped depression forming two lobes 1.15–1.25 times as long as wide in the middle; hypoproct not sclerotized, a little longer than cerci, slightly emarginated, forming two apically rounded lobes approximately as long as wide, each with a few short setae; aedeagus gradually tapered to apex, a little shorter than gonocoxite, at distal 1/8 with a pair of sensory setae dorsally on both sides, at distal 2/5 with a pair of sclerotized, short, ceratoid and forked prominences on both sides, each apex with one long seta; tegment developed, approximately half as long as aedeagus, gradually tapered to subapex and distinctly wider than circularis , distally with chrysanthemum-shaped sclerotized structure. Others as C. circularis .

Female. Unknown.

Holotype male. China, Guizhou, Mt. Fanjing, Huguo Temple (27.5°N, 108.4°E; alt. 1 350 m), 28–29 May 2002, Xin-Pu Wang leg., Malaise trap, NKUCecid. No. BAKK001 , NKUM.
