Zygoneura (Pharetratula) transferata Rudzinski, 2005

( Figs 12A–E )

Zygoneura (Pharetratula) transferata Rudzinski, 2005 [ Rudzinski (2005): 375 –377; Zhang et al. (2010): 45 ; Shin et al. (2014): 562; Huang et al. (2020): 361].

Material examined. 1♂, China, Zhejiang Province, Anji, Mt. Longwang , 30°13’55.2’’ N, 119°14’38.4’’ E, 989 m a.s.l., malaise trap, 19.XI.2018, leg. Caixia Liu [ LW-QMT361 ] .

Remarks. This species was first reported from China (Taiwan) by Rudzinski (2005), and this is the first record of this species from the mainland. This species also resembles Z. (Zygoneura) flavicoxa Johannsen in the morphology of gonostylus. However, it can easily be distinguished from the latter by the flagellomere with mostly short setae on the body and with a row of distinctly elongated setae near the neck ( Fig. 12D ), and hence, classify this species in the subgenus Pharetratula .

Distribution. China: Taiwan ( Rudzinski 2005; Zhang et al. 2010) Zhejiang (this study).
