Satonius wangi sp. nov.

( Fig. 8 )

Type locality. China, Zhejiang province, 5 km N Lishui, Baiyunshan Forest Park, ca. 270 m a.s.l..

Type material. HOLOTYPE: J ( CASS), ‘ CHINA: Zhejiang prov. / 5 km N Lishui City / ca. 270 m, 1.4.2001 / leg. M. Wang (CWBS 412) ’. PARATYPES: 6 JJ 7 ♀♀ and 33 unsexed spec., same label data as holotype ( BMNH, CASS, CZUG, KSEM, NHMW, NMPC).

Diagnosis. Small and broad species; body length 1.4-1.8 mm, width 0.9-1.1 mm. Sides of pronotum fairly broadly bordered. Lateral margin of elytra visible throughout elytral length except for apex. Macropterous species.

Male genitalia. Median lobe of aedeagus with dorsal side slightly curved in basal half, almost straight in apical half; ventral side slightly concave, with small spur subapically. Parameres short and stout, with two setae on apex and one located subapically, base with long field of pores along ventral surface reaching basal half of length of paramere ( Fig. 8 ).

Bionomics. Collected in a small, ca. 1 m wide stream with small rocks, flowing fast through a Cunninghamia forest ( JÄCH & JI 2003).

Etymology. The new species is dedicated to its collector Miao Wang (Shenyang, China).
