A taxonomic report on the cockroach genus Haplosymploce Hanitsch from China including one new species (Blattodea: Ectobiidae: Blattellinae) Author Zheng, Yuhong Author Li, Xinran Author Wang, Zongqing text Zootaxa 2016 4066 2 161 170 journal article 51192 10.11646/zootaxa.4066.2.3 0f548ff4-fe06-49c4-b015-d23a670bb49e 1175-5326 258940 0E792EE5-5A38-4EE3-BE89-7E13356DAC2B Genus Haplosymploce Hanitsch, 1933 , new record from China Haplosymploce Hanitsch, 1933: 236 ; Princis 1969 : 875 ; Roth 1997 : 89 . Type species: Ischnoptera nigra Hanitsch, 1928 , selected by Princis 1951 : 56 . Diagnosis (principally after Roth 1997 ). Tegmen and hindwing fully developed. R of tegmen without posterior branch, mediocubital branches longitudinal or slightly oblique. R of hindwing without posterior branch; CuA oblique or slightly sigmoid with 3–5 complete branches and 0–4 incomplete branches; apical triangle absent. Front femur type A or B (in cases varied intraspecifically); tarsal pulvilli present on 1–4 proximal tarsomeres; claws simple and symmetrical; arolia small. Male: T1 and T7 specialized or only T1 with a middle gland. Paraprocts dissimilar; each side of supraanal plate with an intercercal process near the base of cercus. Subgenital plate asymmetrical, all species similar; styli similar, small, cylindrical, length equal or slightly unequal. Sclerite of the left phallomere (L3) hook-like, on the left side, with a preapical incision; middle sclerite (L2vm) rod-like. Distribution ( Fig. 1 ). China (Yunnan and Hainan), Andaman Islands, Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Borneo, Sulawesi. Remarks. The holotype of H. moultoni is a female, its colour and pattern of the tegmina and wings are similar to those of H. bicolor ; therefore they may be synonyms ( Roth, 1997 ). Haplosymploce is recorded from Southeast Asia and South China but no record is from the Indochinese Peninsula (in the narrower sense) ( Fig. 1 ); this may be a result of the absence of specimens from this area or the lack of taxonomic works. Particularly, it could be inferred that H. andamanica should distribute in Burma since it is a transitional area between China and Andaman, from which this species is recorded.
