Calodia multipectinata Nielson, 1982.

Diagnosis. The species of the genus Calodia can be recognized among the genera of Coelidiini by the aedeagus having two medial or apical to subapical processes glabrous or with multi-spinose or multi-setose secondary processes (Nielson 2015).

Holotype, ♂, China: Guizhou Province, Bijie City, Weining County, Caohai Reserve, 3 July 2017, coll. Caohai expedition team (GUGC). Paratype, 3 ♂♂, 6 ♀♀ same information as holotype. 2 ♂♂, CHINA: Yunnan Province, Yuxi City, Xinping County, 21 July 2018, coll. Xian-yi Wang (GUGC).

The new species is similar to C. harpagota Zhang, 1994, but differs in having the style apophysis with a subapical spur and the aedeagal shaft with angular projection on the ventral margin in lateral view and with two slender subapical processes.

Middle-sized species. Body length (including tegmina): male, 7.2–7.8 mm, female, 7.9–8.4 mm.

Coloration. Ground color brown. Crown yellow with two pairs of brown spots medially, ocelli black (Fig. 14). Face (Fig. 16) with clypeus and clypellus black; area between laterofrontal sutures and eye yellow. Pronotum (Fig. 14) dark brown, with yellow markings. Mesonotum (Fig. 14) with basal triangles and one round spot on either side of median line anterior to scutoscutellar suture, black. Venation black, with numerous, small, brown spots. Legs (Fig. 15) dark brown to black.

Calodia quadrimacula sp. nov. 14 adult, dorsal view 15 adult, lateral view 16 face 17 male pygofer side, lateral view 18 connective, dorsal view 19 male subgential plate, ventral view 20 style, dorsal view (Yunnan) 21 style, dorsal view (Guizhou) 22 aedeagus and dorsal connective, dorsal view 23 aedeagus and dorsal connective, lateral view. Scale bars: 1 mm (14–16); 0.5 mm (17–23).

Morphology. Head narrower than pronotum, anterior margin broadly obtuse; crown as wide as diameter of one eye, produced anteriorly beyond eyes; ocelli on anterior margin of crown; coronal suture extending to level of ocelli (Fig. 14); clypeus (Fig. 16) flat, narrow, laterally expanded under antennal sockets, apex constricted, base inflated longitudinally, apically with lateral margins expanded. Pronotum (Fig. 14) surface bullate. Mesonotum (Figs 14, 15) nearly as long as pronotum.

Male genitalia. Pygofer with caudal lobe (Fig. 17) broadly triangular in lateral view. Subgenital plate (Fig. 19) long with base slightly broad, sparsely setose apically. Style (Figs 20, 21) well developed, base expanded, apex bilobed, with a subapical short spur. Connective (Fig. 18) Y-shaped with stem short. Aedeagal shaft (Figs 22–23) sinuated, ventral margin in lateral view with angular projection slightly distad of half length, curved apically in lateral view, apex with group of spines, with two subapical retrose processes arising on same side, distal process about twice as long as proximal one, with outer margin, serrate proximal process glabrous; gonopore large, subapical, situated laterally more proximal than proximal process.

The new species name is derived from the words “quadri” and “macula”, referring to the scutellum with four black plaques.

China (Guizhou, Yunnan).

Holotype, ♂, China: Yunnan Province, Lushui County, Pianma town, Mt. Gaoligong, 26 May 2019, coll. Qin Zuo (GUGC). Paratype, ♂, same information as holotype.

The new species is similar to C. lii Zhang, 1994, but differs in the structure of aedeagal shaft processes and the aedeagal shaft.

Moderately large species. Body length (including tegmina): male, 8.8–9.4 mm.

Coloration. Ground color blackish. Head with crown brown; clypellus with median narrow yellowish stripe; area between lateral frontal sutures and eyes ochraceous (Figs 24, 26). Forewing with numerous, small, ivory to yellow spots.

Calodia zuoae sp. nov. 24 adult, dorsal view 25 adult, lateral view 26 face 27 male pygofer side and subgential plate, lateral view 28 connective, dorsal view 29 style, dorsal view 30 aedeagus and dorsal connective, dorsal view 31 aedeagus and dorsal connective, lateral view. Scale bars: 1 mm (24–26); 0.5 mm (27–31).

Morphology. Head, narrower than pronotum, anterior margin broadly rounded; crown broad, slightly broader than width of one eye, slightly produced beyond anterior margin of eyes, eyes about ⅔ width of pronotum (Fig. 24); clypeus wide and short, without middle longitudinal ridge; clypellus slender, apex wider (Fig. 26). Pronotum large, nearly twice as long medially as crown wider than long (Fig. 24). Scutellum large, nearly twice as long medially as pronotum.

Male genitalia. Pygofer in lateral view triangulate, with small lobe apically (Fig. 27). Subgenital plate nearly rectangular, apex rounded (Fig. 27). Style simple, without process (Fig. 29). Connective Y-shaped, stem short (Fig. 28). Aedeagal shaft asymmetrical, slender, narrowly tubular in dorsal view, with two large processes arising almost near apex, shorter process about half as long as longer process, with numerous apical fine setae, longer process extending to midlength of shaft with numerous fine setae on outer margin proximad of midlength; gonopore large, near apex, situated laterally (Figs 30, 31).

The new species is named after Ms Qin Zuo who collected the holotype.

The new species closely resembles C. lii but differs in the structure of aedeagal shaft processes, i.e., aedeagal shaft processes have finer and denser setae in C. zuoae compared to sparse and elongate secondary spines in C. lii; the shorter process has setae confined to apex of the process in C. zuoae and in C. lii the spines on the shorter process are along entire lateral margin; the setae on longer process in C. zuoae are confined to an area proximad of the midlength on the outer margin of the process and in C. lii the sparse spines are found in the distal ¾ length and they are on both margins of the process in the distal ⅓.
