Abstract

Three species complexes (pallidiventris, chlorea, and geniculata) of Pristiphora Latreille are recognized from China. Two new species of Pristiphora from Nanking (Nanching), China, are described: P. sinensis n. sp., which is closely related to the Holarctic species P. geniculata (Hartig); and P. nankingensis n. sp., which belongs in the chlorea complex with P. fausta (Hartig), P. chlorea (Norton), and P. borneensis Forsius. P. formosana Rohwer and P. sauteri Rohwer from Taiwan (Formosa), together with P. zella Rohwer, P. pallidiventris (Fallén), and P. denudata Konow, belong in the pallidiventris complex. The lancets of the southeast Asian species of Pristiphora not illustrated by Benson (1963) are shown. Keys to adult females of species in the pallidiventris and chlorea complexes, and the separation of adult males and females of P. geniculata and P. sinensis n. sp., are presented. P. denudata is considered to be a valid species, not a subspecies of P. pallidiventris.

Résumé

L’auteur reconnaît trois "complexes d’espèces" (pallidiventris, chlorea et geniculata) du genre Pristiphora en Chine. Il décrit deux nouvelles espèces de Pristiphora récoltées à Nankin (Nanching) en Chine : P. sinensis n. sp. qu’est semblable à l’espèce holarctique P. geniculata; et P. nankingensis n. sp, qui appartient au complexe chlorea avec P. fausta (Hartig), P. chlorea (Norton) et P. borneensis Forsius. P. formosana Rohwer et P. sauteri Rohwer, récoltées au T’ai-wan (Formosa), et P. zella Rohwer, P. pallidiventris (Fallén) et P. denudata Konow appartiennent au complexe pallidiventris. L’auteur illustre les lancettes d’espèces de Pristiphora trouvées dans le sud-est asiatique mais non illustrées par Benson (1963). Il donne des clés des femelles des espèces aux complexes pallidiventris et chlorea, et de la séparation des mâles et femelles de P. geniculata et de P. sinensis n. sp. Il considère P. denudata comme une espèce valide et non une sous-espèce de P. pallidiventris.
