Oxylipeurus burmeisteri ( Taschenberg, 1882 ) ; Price et al . 2003: 202 ( in partim ). Type host. Tragopan temminckii (J.E. Gray, 1831) —Temminck’s tragopan. Type locality. Szechwan [= Sichuan Province , China ] . Diagnosis. Cataphractomimus junae is most similar to C. burmeisteri in their relatively small size ( Table 1 ) and the complete division of the male subgenital plate between segments VIII and IX+X ( Fig. 4 ). However, C. junae and C. burmeisteri can be separated by the following characters: preantennal region about as long as the postantennal and proportionately narrower in C. junae ( Fig. 4 ), clearly shorter and proportionately wider in C. burmeisteri ; dorsal preantennal suture present around ads in C. junae ( Fig. 4 ) but absent in C. burmeisteri ; distal mesosome more flattened in outline in C. junae ( Fig. 41 ) than in C. burmeisteri ; gonopore reaches distal margin of mesosome in C. junae ( Fig. 41 ) but not in C. burmeisteri ; antero-lateral extensions of mesosome with bifid ends in C. junae ( Fig. 41 ) but with smoothly rounded ends in C. burmeisteri . Description. Male. Head shape, structure, reticulation and chaetotaxy as in Fig. 4 ; dorsal preantennal suture present around aperture of ads only; marginal carina relatively broad; head sensillus s5 situated much closer to pns than to s3 . Antennae as in Fig. 23 ; rugose area limited to flagellomere I. Thoracic and abdominal plates, chaetotaxy and approximate reticulation patterns as in Fig. 4 . Pronotum medianly continuous. Inter-tergal plates and internal anterior bulges absent. Tergopleurite XI medianly continuous. Subgenital plate formed by sternal plate IX+X only, separated from sternal plate VIII ( Fig. 78 ); reticulation of subgenital plate complete across plate; stylus broken in holotype male, and here illustrated from the paratype male; broad at base but tapering to narrow distal end ( Fig. 78 ). Basal apodeme as in Fig. 39 , of roughly even width except in narrower proximal third. Ventral sclerite of mesosome as in Fig. 41 ; anterior margin bulging medianly; up to two pores visible on each side near lateral ends; rugose area of mesosome extensive; antero-lateral extensions of mesosome with bifid ends. Parameres short and slender ( Fig. 40 ). Measurements as in Table 1 . Female. Unknown. Etymology. The specific name is in honour of the first author’s wife, Sun Yu-Jun. Both her beauty and that of the host, Tragopan temminckii , are unparalleled in China . Type material examined. Holotype ♂ , Szechwan [= Sichuan Province , China ], Apr. 1908 , R . Meinertzhagen , 3756, NHMUK010682435 ( NHML ) [male on lower row, marked with red dot on slide] . Paratypes : 2♂ , same data as holotype ( NHML ) . Remarks. Since the antennae and the stylus are broken in the holotype , these characters are here illustrated from the paratypes .
