Abstract

The adult female of Nipponorthezia guizhouensis sp. n. (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Ortheziidae) is described and illustrated based on specimens extracted from Chinese forest litter using Berlese funnels. An identification key to all the species in the genus is provided. The type specimens of the new species are deposited in the Institute of Entomology, Guizhou University, Guiyang, China.
