Abstract

The third species of Pseudonagoda Holloway, 1990, P. zhejiangensis sp. nov., is described from Zhejiang Province, China, and this little-known genus is reported for the first time from China. The new species is compared with its congeners P. siniaevi Solovyev, 2009 in morphological features. The male adult and genitalia are illustrated, as well as the COI sequences data are provided. The immature stages of the genus are also described firstly in this study.
