Body medium sized and light yellowish brown. Crown anterior margin subparallel to posterior margin, slightly produced medially, with pair of dark preapical spots and large median apical spot. Coronal suture distinct. Face broad, lateral frontal sutures complete, slightly convergent near border to vertex, anteclypeus inflated and broad, nearly pentagonal. Pronotum broad, middle length longer than that of vertex, usually with obvious dark markings near lateral margins. Scutellum pale yellow, basal triangles and apex dark, with two light brown small circular spots above the scutoscutellar sulcus. Forewing semitransparent, with first apical cell tapering, second nearly quadrate, third widened distally and fourth about two times as long as wide; hind wing venation as usual for Erythroneurini.</p> <p>Abdominal apodemes large or not well-developed.</p> <p>Genital capsule cylindrical. Pygofer lobe elongated, with posterior margin arc-shaped, setae on lateral surface consisting of large group of small microsetae dorsad of ventro-cephalic angle of lobe, and few similar microsetae scattered caudally. Pygofer dorsal appendage simple, rigidly attached, not extended beyond pygofer apex. Subgenital plate exceeding caudal margin of pygofer, tubular and narrowing in apical part, with several macrosetae on lateral surface near apex. Anal tube appendage present. Style slender, acuminate at both ends; preapical lobe small. Aedeagal shaft tubular or flat, with one or more pairs of processes; gonopore ventral.

Rufitidia fissa Zou &amp; Zhang sp. nov.</p> <p>(Figs 1a–d, 2)</p> <p>Description. Vertex yellow, with two small dark brown spots, whitish towards eyes (Figs 1a, c). Coronal suture short, about 1/2 vertex middle length, broad dark brownish longitudinal streak in the coronal suture accompanied with two small roundish patches laterally (Figs 1a, c). Eyes grey. Face frontoclypeus area brownish, with areas of yellowish (Fig. 1d). Pronotum anterior and lateral regions yellow or brownish yellow, with irregular dark brown or black patterns; central part and posterior region from brownish to dark brownish (Figs 1a, c). Forewing brownish yellow (Figs 1a, b).</p> <p>Abdominal apodemes small and short (Fig. 2b).</p> <p>Pygofer lobe broad, with some microsetae scattered in the middle of lobe, ventro-cephalic angle and near caudal margin (Fig. 2a). Dorsal appendage curved ventrally, slightly branched at apex (Figs 2a, c).

Anal tube appendage tapering apically and nearly right-angle curved (Fig. 2a). Style slim, apex sharp (Figs 2e, f). Aedeagal shaft compressed, with one pair of apical processes extended ventrad, and two pairs of subbasal processes extended dorsad, one process on ventral side divided from shaft near middle and irregularly serrated ventrally in lateral view (Figs 2g, h, i).

This new species has all the general characteristics of R. trinotata Dworakowska, 1994, but can be distinguished by the dorsal appendage curved ventrally, slightly branched at apex; aedeagal shaft with one process on ventral side; the ventral edge of the shaft or the process irregularly serrated in lateral view; forewing brownish yellow.</p> <p>Etymology. The specific epithet is derived from the Latin “fissus” (cleft), referring to the ventral process split from the aedeagal shaft in lateral view.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03B287B2E328AF59EEA9FBCF5473FF00	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

This new species is similar to R. trinotata Dworakowska, 1994, but can be distinguished by the ushaped dorsal pygofer appendage, pointed at both ends; the ventral edge of the shaft irregularly dentated in lateral view; with one pair of subapical processes extended ventrad.</p> <p>Etymology. The specific epithet is derived from the Latin “dissidens” (different), referring to the dentate edge of the aedeagus.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03B287B2E32CAF59EEA9FEB75774FB10	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
