Parastephanellus austrochinensis Belokobylskij, 1995 : 22 (new name for junior homonym); Aguiar 2004 : 65 ; Hong et al . 2011 : 41 (as synonym of P. brevistigma Enderlein, 1913 ). Diagnosis. Pale yellowish streak of temple moderately to hardly contrasting with brown posterior part of temple in lateral view ( Fig. 17 ), remaining separated from occipital carina in dorsal view ( Fig. 16 ); temples slightly angulate in dorsal view; frons of ♀ brownish yellow; medio-anteriorly pronotum gradually arising behind neck and superficially sculptured ( Fig. 12 ); pronotum below tegulae costate ( Fig. 12 ); pronotum stout in dorsal view ( Fig. 13 ); vein 1-M of fore wing 0.9–1.1 × as long as vein m-cu and 2.1 × vein 1-SR ( Fig. 35 ); vein 1-SR of fore wing strongly angled with vein 1-M and about as long as vein 2-M+CU1 ( Fig. 35 ); vein m-cu of fore wing approx. as long as vein 2-SR+M; sclerotized part of vein 2-M of fore wing not surpassing level of apex of vein r; vein r of fore wing ends near level of apex of pterostigma ( Fig. 35 ); pterostigma rather abruptly narrowed apically, more or less widened, not parallel-sided and 4–5 × as long as wide ( Fig. 11 ); hind coxa of ♂ approx. 3 × as long as wide in dorso-lateral view; first metasomal tergite approximately 5 × as long as its maximum width; ovipositor sheath approx. 1.7 × as long as body. Distribution. China ( Yunnan , Guangxi ). FIGURES 3–10. Parastephanellus angulatus Hong et al . , ♀, holotype. 3, fore wing; 4, pronotum, lateral aspect; 5, pronotum, dorsal aspect; 6, pygidial area, dorsal aspect; 7, head, anterior aspect; 8, head, dorsal aspect; 9, head, lateral aspect; 10, hind coxa, dorsal aspect. From: Hong et al . (2011). Notes. As well illustrated by Hong et al . (2011) two forms of P. brevistigma Enderlein exist in China . One with aberrant venation of the fore wing as described in the key in this paper and typical for Taiwan ( holotype of P. brevistigma : Figs 35–42 ) and one with normal venation ( Figs 11–17 ; Chao, 1964 ) from continental China . Unfortunately, there is no additional material from Taiwan to study the variation of the characters used for separation, but we consider the difference in venation profound enough to reinstate P. austrochinensis .
