Remarks. Euscrobipalpa chitensis was described from a single male ( Fig. 22 ) collected in the environs of Kyra village, Zabaikalskiy krai, Russia . The species is very similar to S. bidzilyai (for the differences see under that species). Here we describe the female genitalia of S. chitensis for the first time. Female genitalia ( Figs132,133 ). Papillae anales subovate,covered with long setae at base; apophyses posteriores 4 times as long as apophyses anteriores; segment VIII about as broad as long, sternum VIII densely covered with microspines, subgenital plates 1/3 width of sternum VIII, parallel-sided, lobes of ventromedial depression broad, rounded and separated by triangular incision anteromedially, not extending beyond anterior margin of sternum VIII; apophyses anteriores as long as segment VIII and 2–2.5 times length of ductus bursae; ductus bursae moderately broad, of even width except narrowed posterior portion; corpus bursae rounded, 1/3 length of ductus bursae; signum with large, subtriangular basal plate and straight or weakly curved acute process directed anteriorly. Molecular data. BIN: BOLD:AEC6928. The intraspecific average distance of the barcode region is 0 % (n=4). The minimum distance to the nearest neighbour, S. bidzilyai ( Povolný, 2001 ) (BIN: BOLD:AEC6545), is 3.04% (p-dist) ( Fig. 3 ). Distribution. Russia : Buryatia (new record), Zabaikalskiy kraі ( Povolný 2001: 188 ); China : Shaanxi , Ningxia ( Li & Bidzilya 2019: 122 ).
