Parascaphoidella biprocessa sp. nov.

Figs. 18–28

Description. External features as in P. transversa ( Li & Xing, 2009) comb. nov. (see above), but face yellowishbrown.

Male genitalia. Aedeagus with basal processes parallel-sided in basal half, then abruptly narrowed and attenuate distally, more or less evenly divergent in ventral view; aedeagal shaft sinuate, slender in lateral view, with pair of spines arising subapically from expanded distal section; dorsal apodeme relatively long with pair of dorsolateral lobes in posterior view ( Figs. 25, 26 ).

Measurement. Length (including tegmen): ♂, 5.7 mm.

Material examined. Holotype. ♂, CHINA: Guangxi Autonomous Region, Tian’e County, Longtan Natural Reserve , 19 July 2015, coll. Guoru Ren ( GUGC).

Remarks. This species differs from P. transversa ( Li & Xing, 2009) comb. nov. by the presence of a pair of spines on the aedeagal shaft subapically and by the relatively long dorsal apodeme of the aedeagus.

Etymology. The new species is derived from the Latin word “ biprocessa ”, referring to the subapex of aedeagal shaft with a pair of spinous processes.
