Larval Materials. 6 mature larvae reared by Mr. Etymology. The name is derived from the Latin LUO Heng(cid:1)Wen, 21Sept. 1983, Menghai, Yunnan. (cid:1) brevis(cid:1) ( = short) and (cid:1) uncus(cid:1), corresponding to the Distribution. Yunnan. short uncus in the male genitalia. Diagnosis. This new subspecies differs from the nominal subspecies by the much shorter process of the Squamosa brevisunca yunnanensis ssp. nov. (Figs(cid:1)2b, juxta in the malegenitalia. 5) Etymology. The subspecies name is named after the Adult. No difference with the nominal subspecies. typical locality. Male genitalia ( Fig(cid:1)5). Process of juxta much shorter than that in thenominal subspecies. Acknowledgements(cid:1) We are very grateful to Mr. CAI Mature larva.
