Name
Eucorydia hilaris (Kirby, 1903), new record to China – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Corydia hilaris Kirby, 1903: 406 (based on 1 male and 2 females, locality unknown); Kirby 1904[1]: 167 (catalogue).
- Eucorydia hilaris: Hebard 1929[2]: 98; Princis 1957[3]: 90 (designated the male as lectotype and the 2 females as paralectotypes); Princis 1963[4]: 82.
Type material examined
LECTOTYPE of Corydia hilaris, male (NHM, #877092), no data recorded.
Diagnosis
Male: head metallic black. Pronotum metallic blue. Tegmina in resting position with basal half metallic blue, the distal half totally yellow; the border between the two colors nearly straight in the middle, median area of the metallic part more protruded than the lateral areas. Wings yellow. Legs brown. Abdomen orange both in dorsal and ventral view; in ventral view, S7, S8 and lateral portions of S6 brown; in dorsal view, lateral margins of T6-T8 brownish black narrowly, T9 brownish black. Supra-anal plate brownish black, hind margin concave, obtuse angle-shaped; subgenital plate brownish black (Fig. 9D–E). This species resembles E. splendida sp. n. and E. xizangensis, but differs from both by the border shape between the orange part and metallic part on tegmina. Also, its supra-anal plate with hind margin concave at an obtuse angle, while supra-anal plate with hind margin roundly concave in E. splendida and straight in E. xizangensis.

This species is described based on three specimens without collection data. Two photographs of this species were obtained from Yunnan, China (Fig. 14L–M), but no specimens are available for study. The photo information are listed as followed: Fig. 14L, one male, Yakou [垭口], Huanglianshan [黄莲山], Lvchun County [绿春县], Honghe Prefecture [红河州], Yunnan, photographed by Jian-Yun Wang; Fig. 14M, one female with ootheca, South Ximeng County [西盟县], Pu’er City [普洱市], Yunnan, 1000 m, Dong Lin leg., photographed by Chao Li.
