Lichtwardtia zhangae Tang & Grootaert sp. n.

Lichtwardtia ziczac (Wiedemann, 1824) sensu Zhang, Masunaga & Yang, 2009: 199, figs 11-14. Re-description.

Etymology.

This species is dedicated to Dr. Lili Zhang of the IOZ Museum in Beijing who re-described and illustrated Lichtwardtia ziczac (Wiedemann) for the first time with detailed drawings.

Diagnosis.

Costa without swelling. Hypandrium with a large brown dorsal preapical tooth. Phallus smooth.

Description.

For a full description we refer to Zhang et al. 2009.

Comments.

In having the cross veins clouded, Lichtwardtia ziczac (Wiedemann) is distinctly different from L. ziczac sensu Zhang et al. 2009 and therefore we give a new name Lichtwardtia zhangae sp. n. to the species that she (re-) described from Bali. It is very closely related to L. polychroma from Sri Lanka and differs in the lacking of a swelling of the costa.

Distribution.

Bali (Indonesia).
