Sternum 9 basally long, 1X longer than width, with subcircular vesicle bearing dense hairs. Tergum 10 bearing a big central plate that is evenly sclerotized. Transverse plates roughly oval with apical setae. Lateral projections of tergum 10 originating as a rounded base and extending upwards and backwards in a short plate, ending in a forked process, with the lower point slightly larger. Epiproct short, not tapering appreciably along its course, ending in a shallow wavy process. Subanal lobes medium sized, narrow at base, expanding distally, and then narrowing to the end.

Te males of + +R. shennongjia + +sp. nov. +and + +R. basinigra + +share the similar shape of subanal lobes and the shape of the lateral projections of tergum 10. In + +R. shennongjia + +, the epiproct is short, not tapering along its course; and the tergum 9 is weakly sclerotized, with a wide, incised anterior margin that is more poorly sclerotized medially. However, in + +R. basinigra + +, the tergum 9 has a distinct sclerotized area in the center; the end of epiproct is hook like. + + + +FIGURE 6: + +Rhopalopsole shaanxiensis +Yang & Yang, 1994 + +.
