Abstract

A new species Reticuluma bipennata sp. nov. from China is described and illustrated, and can be distinguished from other Reticuluma by the aedeagal shaft with a pair of wing-shaped processes on the lateral margin. A key to all species of the genus based on the features of males and a map showing the geographic distribution of the genus are given.
