Agallia onukii Matsumura, 1912 by original designation.

After Viraktamath (2011). This genus is similar to other two Agalliini genera, Agallia Curtis, 1833 and Formallia Viraktamath, 2011: it closely resembles Agallia in having stout setae on the ventral margin of the male subgenital plate but differs in having hairlike setae on the male pygofer side and subgenital plate and in the shapes of the aedeagus and subgenital plates; it is also similar to Formallia in body appearance but differs in having setae both dorsally and ventrally on the subgenital plates and also in the shapes of the male pygofer, connective, and aedeagus.

Oriental and Palearctic regions: China, Japan, Korea and Russia.

Connective (Fig. 11) simple, longer than broad, caudal margin prominent medially, lateral margins expanded near base. Aedeagus (Figs 12–13) broad basally, twisted dorsally, shaft with distal 75% strongly compressed, filiform in lateral aspect, dorsal margin with many small teeth subbasally to subapically, in ventral view, shaft with margin parallel sided, subacute apically; gonopore apical on ventral margin; dorsal apodeme elongate, slender, tip expanded in bilateral direction; preatrium weakly developed.

Female genitalia. 7^th sternite nearly 1.5 × wider than long, and nearly 2.0 × longer than 6^th sternite, hind margin slightly excavated and ridged medially. Ovipositor projecting beyond pygofer. First pair of valvulae (Figs 14–15), in lateral view, relatively broad, slightly curved dorsally from base, tapering, tip sharpened, dorsal half with sculpturing imbricate. Second pair of valvulae (Figs 16–17) dorsally curved slightly from base in lateral view, slightly inflated subapically, then tapering to subacute point; dorsal hyaline area (DHA) clear, dorsal prominence (AP) pronounced, apical half of dorsal margin with dense teeth gradually from base to apex.

The new species is similar to O. onukii (Matsumura) (Figs 4–5, 18–19) but can be distinguished from the latter by the large-sized body (male body length including tegmina in repose of O. onukii is 4.30–4.55 mm), the different color pattern particularly on the pronotum, the more slender aedeagal shaft, and the larger number and wider distribution of teeth on dorsal margin of the aedeagal shaft.

The new species name is derived from the Latin words “neo-” and “onukii”, refers to the similarity to O. onukii (Matsumura).

Body length including tegmina in repose: ♂, 4.48–4.50 mm.

Body coloration and external morphology. Body (Figs 6–7) relatively darker and more slender than O. neoonukii sp. n. Face (Fig. 8), anteclypeus distal half not black; gena with black macula medially. Pronotum 2.1 × wider than broad. Scutellum with end and lateral angles pale, 1.1 × longer than pronotum and 1.3 × wider than long. Other color pattern and external morphology similar to O. neoonukii sp. n.

Male genitalia. Pygofer (Fig. 20), basally broad, in lateral view, lobe strongly narrowed, with dorsal and ventral margins parallel, apex round, ventrocaudal surface of lobe with hairlike setae. Valve broader than long. Subgenital plates (Fig. 20) widened, exceeding pygofer side, surface with filamentous setae, and uniseriate stout setae ventrally. Anal collar process simple, relatively stout, basally broad, then tapered to acute tip twisted caudally. Style (Fig. 21) typical of genus, inner arm 2.0 × longer than outer arm, slightly inflated in middle, with clear triangular process medially on outer margin, apex blunt. Connective (Fig. 22) anterior margin with medial lobe, caudal margin prominent medially, lateral margins slightly expanded near apex, and clearly excavated near base. Aedeagus (Figs 23–24), in lateral view, broad basally, curved dorsally, shaft with small hump near midlength on dorsal margin, ventral margin below gonopore slightly depressed, apex subacute; in ventral view, shaft expanded laterally on lateral margins near base, then tapered, subapex slightly widened and apex round; gonopore apical on ventral margin; dorsal apodeme elongate, tip expanded in bilateral direction.

HOLOTYPE: ♂, CHINA: Hubei Province, Shennongjia, 17.VII.2013, collected by Chang Zhi-Min. PARATYPES: 1 ♂, CHINA: Hunan Province, Badagongshan, 03.VIII.2013, collected by Li Hu.

China (Hubei and Hunan Provinces).

This new species is similar to O. fanjingensis Zhang & Li but can be distinguished from the latter by the different shape of the pygofer lobe and the anal collar process, the aedeagal shaft with an apophysis on its dorsal margin near the base in lateral view, and expanded laterally near base in ventral aspect.

The new species name is derived from the Latin word “tumidus”, refers to the swollen structure of aegeagal shaft.
