On the
Drusilla
fauna of
China
Twelve species of
Drusilla
had been recorded from
China
(exclusive of
Taiwan
and
Hong Kong
):
Drusilla aino
NAKANE, 1963
(
Japan
; doubtfully recorded from
Jilin
),
D. cenwanglaomontis
PACE, 2012
(
Guangxi
)
;
D. damingensis
PACE, 2012
(
Guangxi
)
,
D. dendrolasii
MARUYAMA & KISHIMOTO, 2002 (
Hunan
)
,
D. gibberella
PACE, 1998
(
China
:
Hainan
;
Hong Kong
;
Nepal
),
D. gilva
PACE, 2012
(Sichuan)
,
D. imurai
MARUYAMA & KISHIMOTO, 2002 (Hubei)
,
D. philippina
(BERNHAUER, 1915) (Hainan)
,
D. sinicola
PACE, 2012
(Sichuan)
,
D. watanabei
MARUYAMA & KISHIMOTO, 2002
(Hubei, Hunan),
D. yunnanensis
PACE, 1993
(Hubei, Hunan, Yunnan), and
D. zhejiangensis

(Zhejiang)
(

Unlike most
Drusilla
species
from the West Palaearctic region, at least some of the species recorded from
China
are remarkably widespread. This even applies to the micropterous
D. watanabei
. The distributions of the Chinese representatives of the genus are illustrated in
Maps 1–2
.
The examined recently collected
Drusilla
material from the Chinese province Yunnan is composed of four species, two of them described previously and two undescribed. In order to facilitate future identification of
D. watanabei
and
D. yunnanensis
, both species are redescribed and newly illustrated. The two new species are distinguished from the three
Drusilla
species
recorded from
Burma
(
D. assamensis
(CAMERON, 1939)
,
D. feae
(CAMERON, 1939)
,
D. malaisei
(SCHEERPELTZ, 1965))
by different coloration alone.
