| description | The ripiphorid genus Pelecotoides Laporte, 1833 is distributed primarily throughout the Southern Hemisphere, with approximately 72 species. Although exhibiting robust species richness, only one Pelecotoides species, P. tokejii (Nomura & Nakane, 1959), has been recorded from Asia.Herein, Pelecotoides sinicus Jiang & Pan sp. nov. is described and illustrated from Zhejiang and Fujian, China, representing the second Asian species of Pelecotoides. This new species can be easily distinguished from P. tokejii by its sexually dimorphic antennae. |
