Midoria plana Li, Li & Jiang 2025, sp. nov.

Midoria plana Li, Li & Jiang, sp. nov. Figs 3, 4 Description. Head, pronotum and scutellum dark brown, with any light black luster (Fig. 3a). Median length of vertex about as long as half width between eyes (Fig. 3a). Pronotum rectangular, anterior margin slightly convex, lateral margins oblique, slightly divergent posteriorly, posterior margin wavy. Scutellum (Fig. 3a) triangular, shorter than pronotum, about as long as median carina of crown. Face black (Fig. 2c). Forewing with some black spots on veins and yellowish brown band (Fig. 3a, b). Male pygofer rectangular, with long posterior process (the structure of the holotype is damaged) from ventral margin (Fig. 4a). Aedeagus shaft compressed, curved dorsally and expanded graduall, end flattened, with two unobtrusive ventral processes basal area (Fig. 4c, d). Style long, anterior portion longer than caudal portion, caudal portion somewhat robust, apex strongly recurved medioventrally (Fig. 4c, d). Connective T-shaped with dorsomedial keel (Fig. 4c, d). Other characteristics are as shown in Fig. 4. Measurement. Length (including tegmen): ♂, 6.6 mm. Hosts. Unknown. Type Material. Holotype ♂, CHINA: Guizhou, Suiyang, Kuankuoshui, Chachang, 2-5 June 2010, coll. Zhang Pei. Remarks. This species is similar to Midoria deplanata Li & Li, but can be distinguished by the shape of the male pygofer side, the shape of the aedeagal shaft in side view and the shape of the aedeagal ventral processes (Fig. 4d). It is unusual in having the lateral preapical processes of the aedeagus relatively short and fused to the sides of the shaft but other characters support including this species in Midoria. Etymology. The species name refers to the end of aedeagus is flattened.
