Genus: Salganea
Name
Salganea guangxiensis (Feng & Woo, 1990) comb. n. – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Panesthia guangxiensis Feng & Woo, 1990: 214.
Description
Male. Body dark reddish, with the coloration similar to Salganea taiwanensis.
Vertex sparsely punctate, exposed; face densely punctulated; ocelli round and distinct. Anterior margin of pronotum weakly thickened, with a small mesial emargination, a protuberance on the each side of the excision; anterior half of pronotum depressed, the surface sparsely granular; posterior half punctured, with 2 tubercles (Fig. 9). Tegmina and wings mutilated, probably fully developed (Fig. 9). Anterior ventral margin of front femur with 2 spines and a small distal spine, hind margin with a large distal spine. T4–T7 with holes on the anterolateral corners which are surrounded by fine hairs, the holes on T4 are very small; lateral margins of T7 Panesthia-like (Fig. 46). Supra-anal plate densely punctate, hind margin with 10 subequal teeth, obtuse rounded (Fig. 47). The last abdominal sternite and subgenital plate were broken.
Male genitalia. Genital phallomere L1 lost; L2d elongate, apically acute and forked, with a lateral lobe (Fig. 48); R2 reduced, clavate (Fig. 49).
Measurements
Male, 3th–5th maxillary segments: 0.73/0.76/1.05mm; pronotum: length × width: 5.1 × 9.5mm; distance between disc tubercles: 2.2mm; body length: 27.4mm; fore leg: coxae: 2.42mm, trochanter: 1.64mm, femur: 3.47mm, tibia: 2.48mm, 1st–5th tarsus: 0.70/0.30/0.19/0.26/1.34mm; mid leg: coxae: 3.31mm, trochanter: 2.74mm, femur: 4.33mm, tibia: 3.96mm; hind leg: coxae: 2.57mm, trochanter: 2.72mm, femur: 4.43mm, tibia: 5.92mm; cerci: 0.71mm.
Material examined
One male (holotype of Panesthia guangxiensis Feng & Woo, 1990), China: Guangxi Prov., Mt. Jinxiulaoshan, 6 September 1981, collector unknown. (SWU)
Remarks
Although the lateral margin of T7 is Panesthia-like, the characters of the holes in anterolateral corners of T4–T7 associated with setae, and the ridge along with the lateral margin of S7 are more typical of the genus Salganea. Thus, we place this species in genus Salganea. It is very similar to Salganea taiwanensis, only differing in the rounded teeth in the hind margin of supra-anal plate. To be rigorous, the relationship between this two species requires more specimens to provide an absolute determination.
Distribution
China (Guangxi).
