Abstract
This paper reviews species of the genus Euconocephalus Karny from China, provides a key to species from China, and describes a new species, namely E. longissimus Wang & Shi sp. nov.. This new species differs from known species in the genus in the following: body comparatively large; fastigium verticis relatively long, ventral margin about 3 times as longitudinal diameter of eyes; Cu2 vein slender and long, with about 105 teeth (E. nasutus and E. pallidus with about 70 teeth); titillators symmetrical L-shaped, apical parts widened, and basal parts outcurved (E. nasutus X-shaped, flat; E. pallidus apical parts closed, and basal portions outcurved). The type specimens are deposited in the Museum of Hebei University and Faculty of Conservation Biology, Southwest Forestry University.References
