Scaphotettix aurantiacus Huang & Tang 2025, sp. nov.

Scaphotettix aurantiacus Huang & Tang sp. nov. (Figs 3, 4) Length. Male: 2.7mm. Description. Dorsum orange, with three white longitudinal bands margined with brown extending from apex of crown to near apex of wings (Fig. 3A–C). Venter sordid yellow marked with brown (Figs 3D, 4D). Body dorso-ventrally flattened. Head similar in width to pronotum; crown twice as long medially than next to eyes (Fig. 3C); face slightly longer than wide (Fig. 3D). Pronotum one and a half times as long as head, posterior margin straight (Fig. 3C). Male pygofer triangular in lateral view; with a long ventral process extended caudally and medially and a short internal dorsal process on each side (Fig. 3F, G). Style with apical process elongate, curved medially and tapered to apex (Fig. 3H). Connective trapezoidal (Fig. 3H). Aedeagus with shaft strongly curved caudally at base, thereafter straight, tapered to apex in lateral view and expanded distally and ovoid in ventral view, gonopore apical; a short robust process extended from base of shaft ventrally with a subapical spine-like process on each side dorsally; basal apodeme and preatrium well developed, the former laterally compressed (Fig. 3I, J). Material examined. Holotype ♂, China: Anhui province, Chizhou, Guniujiang reserve, sweep net, 8 August 2017, coll. Zhang Yating (AAU). Paratypes: 4♂♂, same data as holotype (AAU). Distribution. China (Anhui). Remarks. Although this new species is similar to its congeners in external appearance and to S. pectinatus and S. striatus in markings it differs from these species in various aspects of the male genitalia (see generic Diagnosis above). Etymology. The specific epithet is the Latin adjective aurantiacus, -a, -um (= orange), referring to the overall orange dorsum in this species.
