A new species and new records of Melittiini from China and Vietnam (Lepidoptera, Sesiidae) Author Kallies, Axel Author Arita, Yutaka Author Min, Wang text Zootaxa 2016 4205 2 162 170 journal article 10.11646/zootaxa.4205.2.5 7c835072-db2b-425f-9c28-572a8fbcfacc 1175-5326 192923 00A9338D-6A7D-42A9-80C6-1F2DB0B18EB1 Melittia inouei Arita & Yata, 1987 ( Fig. 3 ) Material examined. 1 ♀ [South China , Gao fung, 9.vi.1917 , coll. Mell ], gen. prep. AK188 ( MNHB ) ; 1 ♀ , Prov. Shaanxi , Lueyang , 20–29.vii.2011 ( CAK ) ; 1 ♂ , Prov. Guangdong , Shaoguang , Nanling , 600 m , 2–6.vii.2012 ( CAK ) . M. inouei is known from Japan and Korea (Arita et al . 2004). Based on a historical specimen from the Mell collection, it was reported for China for the first time recently ( Kallies 2007 ). According to Zukowsky (1929) (as M. bombyliformis Cramer ), the specimen was collected on the 9.vi. 1917 in “Gao fung” (South China); however, the precise locality could not be established. We here report another two specimens from China, thereby confirming the occurrence of M. inouei in China. The male from Nanling was attracted to pheromone lures in the late morning.
