ZooKeys 725: 71-78. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.725.21267 Abstract Homoneura (Euhomoneura) yangingensis sp. n. is described as new to science and Homoneura (E.) shatal- kini Papp, 1984 is recorded from China for the first time. Photographs and illustrations are provided for both of these species, including genitalia. A key is provided to separate the Chinese species of the subgenus Euhomoneura. Keywords Euhomoneura, Homoneura, new record, new species, Palaearctic region Introduction The subgenus Exhomoneura Malloch, 1927 is a small subgenus of the genus Homoneura (Wulp, 1891), which can be separated from other subgenera by the following key features: the lower margin of the face being about three times as wide as height of the gena and the anteriormost dorsocentral seta being at or before the transverse suture of the mesonotum. It includes 12 described species with three in China (Shiet al. 2012). One species Homoneura (Euhomoneura) yangingensis sp. n. is described as new to science and one species Homoneura (E.) shatalkini Papp, 1984 is newly recorded in China. A key is provided to separate the Chinese species of the subgenera Euhomoneura. Copyright Li Shi et al.

Geni- talia preparations were made by removing and macerating the apical portion of the abdomen in cold saturated NaOH for one hour, then rinsing and neutralizing them for dissection and study. After examination in glycerin, genitalia were transferred to fresh glycerine and stored in a microvial pinned below each specimen. Specimens examined were deposited in two collections: entomological collections of China Agricultural Uni- versity, Beijing (CAUC) and Inner Mongolia Agricultural University, Hohhot (IMAU).

Halter yellow. Abdomen pale yellow, tergites 2—5 (female 2-6) with narrow brown posterior mar- gin, and tergite 3-5 (female 3-6) brownish median spot or absent. Male genitalia: syntergosternite circular with a pair of ventral processes; epandrium broad with dense apical setae, surstylus narrow but slightly broaden at apex; hypandrium slender U- shaped; postgonite long cylindrical; aedeagus broad at middle and bluntly rounded in lateral view, aedeagal apodeme shorter than length of aedeagus. Etymology. The new species is named after collection locality. Distribution. China (Beijing, Shaanxi). Comments. The new species is similar to Homoneura (Euhomoneura) balluca Sa- sakawa, 1992 from Malaysia. It can be separated from the latter by the mesonotum having brown stripes, the coxa and femora of legs being brown and the tibiae each having brown rings on both apex, and the abdominal tergite 6 having a pair of brown lateral spots. A key to the five known species of the subgenus Euhomoneura in China 1 Frons black with yellowish grey pruinosity; gena reddish yellow with black spots; male abdominal tergites greyish black without spots, but female abdomi- nal tergites with a pair of reddish brown spots on anterolateral cornets.............
