03B42C48FFC8FFA1FF63FF0FFDE7F91C.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This species was found in alpine streams in the Oriental China and generally emerges in the late summer evening. The new species can be separated from other members of the genus by having low AR (0.39 – 0.47) and all veins and cells bare in wing combinate with character of inferior volsella. Compterosmittia wangi Liu sp. nov. resembles C. dentispina (Saether) by the characters of wing and bilobed inferior volsella, whereas the latter lacks of supraalar seta in thorax obviously different from the new species. C. wangi Liu sp. nov. is also similar to C. berui Mendes, Andersen et Saether, C. duodecima Lin, Yan, Liu & Wang, C. nerius (Curran), C. procera Lin, Yan, Liu & Wang and C. virga Wang in some measurement characteristics and features in hypopygia, but there are also differences (Table 2).	en	Zhou, Xu-Shen, Fang, Da-Zhou, Gao, Rui, Wang, Ying, Yan, Chun-Cai, Liu, Wen-Bin (2022): Compterosmittia wangi sp. nov. from Oriental China (Diptera, Chironomidae).
