Homonemobius curifolis Zhang, Wang & Liu sp. nov.

( Figs. 4–5 View FIGURES 1–7 , 13–15 View FIGURES13–18 )

Type material. Holotype: ♂, CHINA, Yunnan, Lincang , Mt. wulao, 9–10.VII.2009, leg. Jishan Xu, Jianxiong Zhang. Paratype: 1♀: same data the holotype.

Diagnosis. This new species is similar to Homonemobius nigru s Li, He & Liu, 2010, but differs from the latter by the lateral lobes of epiphallus distinctly bending inwards; tegmina rather long; all legs almost yellowish brown.

Description. Male ( Fig. 4 View FIGURES 1–7 ). Body small-sized and pubescent. Head as wide as the width of anterior margin of pronotum, occiput convex, frontal rostrum narrow, almost equal to the width of scapus; apical joint of maxillary palpi longer than 2 nd and 3 rd joint, shorter than 2 nd and 3 rd joint combined; ocelli round, and arranged in an inverted triangle. Pronotum slightly transverse, with more pubescent, with a longitudinal groove on median part; anterior and posterior margins almost straight, anterior margin as wide as posterior margin. Tegmina extending to base of the 6 th abdominal tergite; dorsal field with 5 longitudinal veins, lateral field with 4 subcostal veinlets. Fore tibiae without tympanum; hind tibiae with 4 external dorsal spines and 3 internal dorsal spines, apex with 6 spurs.

Supra anal plate rather short. Subgenital plate narrowed posteriorly, nearly coniform. Genitalia ( Figs. 13–15 View FIGURES13–18 ): epiphallus rather short, distinctly transverse; lateral lobes of epiphallus bent inwards, acute at apex; ectoparameres distinctly widened, and obviously longer than epiphallus.

Female ( Fig. 5 View FIGURES 1–7 ). Body very similar to that of male. Tegmina rather short, dorsal field with 4 longitudinal veins, lateral field with 8 subcostal veinlets. Hind tibiae with 3 pairs of dorsal spines. Ovipositor rather short, about the same length as the hind femur.

Coloration. Body black. Head with 2 long and 2 short yellow longitudinal stripes in occiput. Pronotum with yellow margin, with few spots in the middle. Tegmina with yellow spots in the base. All legs almost yellowish brown.

Measurements ( mm). Male: body length 6.0, pronotum 1.1, hind femur 4.1. Female: body length 6.5, pronotum 1.2, hind femur 4.5, ovipositor 4.0.

Distribution. China ( Yunnan).

Etymology. The specific name is derived from Latin curv and foli, a reference to lateral lobes of epiphallus bent inwards.
