625C02471A15FF96FF52F8FDBD6C7015.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This new species belongs to Hemisosibia that by the following characteristics: with ocellus; profemora broad, shorter than mesonotum, distinctly curved basally; pterygote, tegmina squamiform, alae development; posterior margin of anal segment notched; subgenital plate with carina. The new species is similar to Hemisosibia incerta Redtenbacher, 1908, but female of the new species has rounded posterior margin; male tergum 8 as long as tergum 9, anal segment about 4 / 5 length of tergum 9; egg elliptical and smooth, micropylar plate long and band-shaped. While H. incerta female has truncatus posterior margin (Seow-Choen, 2019); male tergum 8 shorter than tergum 9, anal segment about 1 / 2 length of segment 9 (SeowChoen, 2017); each side of egg has deep, narrow longitudinal groove, micropylar plate small, oval and recessed (Bragg, 2001). And, the new species is also similar to H. thoracica Chen & He, 2008 from Hainan of China, but distinguished by female with a single ocellus, alae extending to the posterior of the 4 th abdominal tergum, while H. thoracica female with 3 ocelli, alae extending to the middle of the 5 th abdominal segment (Chen & He, 2008).	en	Qian, Yu-Han, Xie, Chong-Xin, Wen, Jun, Wang, Yu (2023): Review of stick insects (Insecta: Phasmatodea) from Yintiaoling Nature Reserve of China, with description of two new species.

625C02471A0AFF93FF52FF4BBC6475FE.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Notable features of this new species show that it should belong to the endemic genus Dianphasma of China, such as body covered with fine hairs; head rather long, without conical spines between eyes; antennae longer than profemora; metanotum as long as median segment; fore wings absent, hind wings squamiform; leg short, without any teeth or lamellae; posterior margins of terga 1 st – 8 th with central elevations respectively; anal segment rather long, apex not pointed (Chen & He, 1997 a). There are four species recorded in this genus. In D. sparsigranulatum Ho, 2017 and D. yui Ho, 2017, tergum 4 lacking tubercle or flattened elevation. In D. microptera Chen & He, 1997, with a pair of humps at anterior of terga 4 – 5; In D. cheni Ho, 2013, ocelli indistinct, subgenital plate apex pointed; but the new species can be distinguished by terga 4 – 6 have a distinct projecting lobe and gradually become larger, lacking ocelli.	en	Qian, Yu-Han, Xie, Chong-Xin, Wen, Jun, Wang, Yu (2023): Review of stick insects (Insecta: Phasmatodea) from Yintiaoling Nature Reserve of China, with description of two new species.
