Labrum, genae, clypeus, mandibles, antennae, shiny black. Frons above and top of head, matt black. Five minute pale spots on top of head; a pair of spots of similar size to the lateral ocelli, each lying just to their outer side, a pair of spots each lying at outer ends of the occiput and one lying at its centre. Prothorax black with three areas of small pale bluish spots laterally, frontal lobe bordered pale bluish and oblong pale bluish spot at centre of the posterior lobe (Fig. 2). Synthorax black with prominent, pale blue, well developed mesothoracic triangle extending to antealar sinus, a pale blue antehumeral stripe above andbelow the humeral suture, a broad yellow stripe at base of metepistemum and a fine pale blue, curved stripe at posterior, comer, and a broad triangular stripe at comer of metepimeron (Fig. upper 2). Coxae black with posterior border finely pale. Legs black with white expanded inner tibia. Inner face of femora pale. Forewing hyaline. The maximumbreadth of forewing is slightly larger than hindwing; typically 5.0 mm forewing and 6.0 mm hindwing; the ratio of hindwing to forewing is 1.2. The hindwing ratio of length to breadth is 4.1-4.3. Slightly more than one-thirdof the hindwing is colouredblackish inlaid with rectangular windows reflecting metallic violet (Fig. 1). R3 arising two cells distal to the subnodus. Pterostigma finely bordered black with pale bluish-white coloured centres. Abdomen black with small lateral cyan blue patch segment 1 and 2, large blue rectangular patches on dorsum of segments 2-9 as illustrated in Figure 3.</p><p>FEMALE. - Head black with paler yellow markings than male. Base of mandibles, genae, and base of antennae pale yellow. Face of frons with a pair of pale yellow triangular spots. Top of head with same minute pale yellow spots and an additional pair in front of the anterior ocellus. Thorax with similar pattern to malebut extent of markings is much reduced and coloured pale yellow. Mesothoracic triangle narrow at base but long, extending to antealar sinus. Legs black without expanded tibia and inner face of femora pale. All wings entirely hyaline with white pterostigmas smoked with brown at proximal and distal areas, subtending 5-6 cells. Abdomen black with fine, interrupted pale yellow stripes at lateral margin and below from 1-7. Very fine interrupted dorsal stripe 2-7.</p><p>Measurements (mm). — 3 abd. + app. 19.0-21.0, hw 23.0-24.5; 2 abd. + app. 18.5-20,0; hw 26.0-26.5.</p><p>DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS. - Males of this species can be separated from all otherRhinocypha by its well developed mesothoracic triangle, distinctivethoracic and abdominal colouration, its hyaline forewing and broad hindwing with dark apex.</p><p>REMARKS. — There are seven species of  Rhinocypha known from Chinese territory; (1) R.  fenestrella Rambur known from Burma, China(Guangxi, Hainanand Tibet), Laos, Nepal, Peninsular Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam, (2) R. baibaranaMatsumura from Taiwan, (3) R. biforata Selys from Burma, China (Hainan), Indonesia, India, Laos, Nepal, Peninsular Malaysia, and Thailand, (4)  R. cuneata Selys from Bangladesh, China, India and Nepal, (5)  R. drusilla Needham, known only from Fujian, Guangxi, Hainan (unpub.) and Zhejiang, (6) R. perforata (Percheron), which is widespread throughout southern China, Indo-China,Thailandand Peninsular Malaysia (including  ssp. limbata) and (7) R.  trimaculata Selys from India and Tibet.  Indocypha katharina (Needham), a large brick red species from broad rivers, described from southern China as a species of  Rhinocypha, belongs to  Indocypha (WILSON &amp; REELS, 2003) .</p><p>The subgenus  Aristocypha Laidlaw includes baibaranawith blue abdomens and others with more or less black abdomens such as  fenestrella and  cuneata . Both the fore and hindwings of this subgenus are highly coloured with vitreous spots and the hindwing is broader than forewing. R3 arises at the subnodus or occasionally at least 1 cell distal to subnodus.  Rhinocypha fulgipennis (Guerin-Meneville, 1831) from neighbouring Vietnam is also a memberof this subgenus. The hindwing ratio of breadth to length for  fenestrella is 1:3.6 and its ratio of forewing breadth to hindwing breadth is 1:1.24. R. biforata and R. perforata have hindwing and forewing of similar petiolate shape and breadth. They also have short mesothoracic triangles. These two species belong to the subgenus  Heliocypha Fraser. The hindwing ratio of breadth to length for biforata is typically 1:5.5. The classification of  chaoi at subgeneric level is slightly problematical. It has a long prominent mesothoracic triangle typical of  Aristocypha and hindwing slightly larger than forewing but a hyaline forewing. These characters are features of FRASER’s (1934)  bifasciata group.</p><p>Rhinocypha trimaculatahas a black abdomen, lacks a coloured mesothoracic triangle and has highly coloured fiery, coppery red wings.  R. drusilla has similar wing shape and venation, but has a red coloured abdomen and short mesothoracic triangle. R.  watsoni van Tol &amp; Rozendaal, 1995, which was recently described from Vietnam, is considered closely related to  drusilla . It is a black species with short uncolouredmesothoracic triangle and uncoloured forewing. Both  drusilla and  watsoni lack the metallic reflecting windows of  chaoi .  R. seducta HAMAlAINEN &amp; KARUBE (2001a), recently described from Vietnam, has similar venation, a hyaline forewing but somewhat proportionately narrower hindwing and the abdomen is almost entirely black. R. area HAMAlAINEN &amp; KARUBE (2001b), also from Vietnam, is another black species with hyaline forewing and opaque, blackish hindwing with violet, green and coppery reflections.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03CA1419FFFABA22A70AF76E14D8FCB7	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

M. discus is the only Chinese member ofthe genus to possess superior appendages with basal disc-like structures. It is closely related to  M. lieftincki LAFIIRI (1979), which is the only other  Megalestes known to possess superior appendages with distinctive basal expansions. The inferior appendages of  lieftincki have an upward pointing spine (absent in  discus) in addition to the curved tip.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03CA1419FFF9BA25A77EFC581328FCBA	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Group I species a pair of recurved penile lobes ending in ribbon-like possess narrow, filaments whereas Group II species have a recurved penis with broadly expanded lobes.  C. chaoi belongs to the latter group.

Holotype will be deposited at Tai Lung Experimental Station, Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department, Lin Tong Mei, Sheung Shui, Hong Kong SAR, China,</p><p>Etymology. — The name  unca is derived from the Latin word "uncus" meaning hooked, bent in or curved. The name reflects the markedly hooked posterior hamulus.</p><p>Description. — Short bodied  Macromia with blackish face, yellow labium, broad yellow antehumeral stripe and males with stout pyramidal process on the male abdominal 10. segment</p><p>MALE. — Ochreous yellow labium with diffuse dark brown areas on central lobe and distalborders. Mandiblesand labium black, anteclypeus dark brown, postclypeus bright yellow with distal margins dark brown, as illustrated in Figure 22. Frons dark blackish brown with metallic blue reflections and lower, lateral halves coloured yellow.

In neighbouring Vietnam, M.  cingulata Rambur, also known from India and Nepal, although smaller, has similar body coloration, tenth abdominal process and hooked posterior hamulus. The posterior hamulusof  cingulata is not so profoundly hooked as  unca and the lateral teeth of the superior appendages are distal to the mid-point (cf. FRASER, 1936: 179-182, figs 57 &amp; 60c).</p><p>REMARKS. — Following the publication of the  Odonata of Hainan (WILSON &amp; REELS, 2001) there were 16 species of  Macromia known from Chinese territory. Including  unca there are now 17 species known from China. The four females and two males were taken on two successive evenings, just before dusk, in a shaded lane adjacent to a Forestry Department field station. No observations of this species were made, during day light for the entire period of the two-week survey conducted in the Shikengkong area.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03CA1419FFFDBA29A725FE7E1004F7F5	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
