Abstract

The two species currently included in the genus Pseudodolbina Rothschild, 1894, Pseudodolbina fo (Walker, 1856) and Pseudodolbina aequalis Rothschild & Jordan, 1903, were studied and a new species, Pseudodolbina yunnana sp. nov., was described from Yunnan, China. The diagnostic features and a distribution map of three species are provided, with a phylogenetic analysis based on DNA barcodes.
