JJ Jiang
(
SCAU
, no. 120291).
Etymology:
From the Latin word
rotundus
, referring to the aedeagus being slightly rounded apically.
Diagnosis:
Katepisternum almost dark brown; paramere with 15–17 strong setae (
Figs 39, 40
); surstylus without prensiseta (
Fig. 37
).
Description:
Frons, face, and clypeus yellow. First flagellomere yellow on basal third, black on distal two-thirds. Gena brown. Mesonotum yellow, sublaterally with two brown stripes on each side. Scutellum brown. Legs yellowish white, fore leg brown on knee and tibia; mid and hind leg black on femora and basal three-quarters of tibiae. Fore femur with four setae on distal part of ventral surface. Abdomen with all tergites and sternites black. Male terminalia: hypandrium somewhat sclerotized anteromedially (
Fig. 38
). Gonopods with one curved process posteromedially and two smaller triangular processes submedially (
Figs 39, 40
). Aedeagus with several tentacle-like setae apically and spine-like processes ventrally, lacking pubescence (
Figs 39, 40
).

RESULTS OF MOLECULAR PHYLOGENETIC ANALYSIS
Data analysis
The alignment of the
ND2
sequence was 1029 nucleotide sites in length, coding 342 amino acid residues, containing 183 parsimony-informative characters, with consecutive gaps at sites
267–269 in
some sequences. The average base frequencies of the
ND2
sequences (including outgroups) calculated in MEGA were 36.6, 45.0, 7.8, and 10.6% for A, T, G, and C, respectively, showing strong bias towards A and T. It was revealed by the Chi-square test that the base composition is not homogeneous among taxa (
P
= 0.8208) at the third codon position, but homogeneous at the first and second codon positions (
P
= 1.000 and 1.000, respectively), or even the average data (
P
= 0.9988). The test of substitution saturation in DAMBE showed that the observed
Iss
index is 0.1707, significantly lower than the
Iss.c
