Remarks.Yoshiobodes
(
Dongnaiobodes
)
hexasetosussp. nov.
differs from
Yoshiobodes
(
D.
)
biconcavussp. nov.
by the presence of short, clavate sensilli and the absence of two large concavities in the humeral regions of the notogaster (versus sensilli long, elongate, narrowly spindle-form, concavities well developed).
