Edwardsiana wanglangensis Yan, Yang & Webb 2025, sp. nov.

Edwardsiana wanglangensis Yan, Yang & Webb sp. nov. Figs 3, 4 Material examined. Holotype, ♂, China • Sichuan Province, Pingwu County, Wanglang National Nature Reserve, 24 July 2016, coll. Bin Yan. Paratypes, • 1 ♂, 7 ♀♀, same data as holotype. Description. Length of male 3.6–3.8 mm; female 3.8–4.0 mm. Dorsum pale yellowish (Fig. 3 A – D); eyes brownish-grey; face yellowish (Fig. 3 E, F); margin of clavus in forewing blackish brown (Fig. 3 A, C). Crown rounded anteriorly; coronal suture distinct and extending to middle of crown; width of head slightly less than greatest width of pronotum (Fig. 3 A, C); forewing with second apical cell largest and third apical cell subtriangular and petiolate (Fig. 4 B); hind wing gradually narrowed apically (Fig. 4 C). Male genitalia. Pygofer with dorsal bridge short; pygofer lobe triangular-shaped, without appendage, with a variety of setae: basal region with a group of macrosetae, two rows of microsetae across lobe subapically and several fine setae and macrosetae at posterodorsal region (Figs 3 G, 4 A). Subgenital plate gradually narrowed towards apex, with distal third abruptly curved dorsad; with one basal macrosetae, row of peg-like setae on lateral margin extended to apex, with several scattered fine microsetae (Figs 3 I, 4 D). Style tapered distally to acute apex with subapical dilation, with row of microsetae on lateral margin (Figs 3 H, 4 E). Connective elongate, Y-shaped, central ridge well developed (Fig. 4 F). Aedeagus with both preatrium and dorsoatrium well developed, shaft slightly curved dorsally and tapered to narrow apex, with two pairs of elongate processes at apex and two small subapical tooth-like processes on ventral surface (Figs 3 J – L, 4 I); dorsal margin of longer processes in lateral view with or without a tiny tooth (Figs 3 L, 4 I), gonopore apical (Fig. 4 I). Diagnosis. This new species is similar to Edwardsiana ishidai (Matsumura, 1932) and E. rosae (Linnaeus, 1758), but it can be distinguished by the dark brown inner margin of the forewing and aedeagal processes not bifurcate. Etymology. The species name is derived from the place of collection, Wanglang National Nature Reserve. Distribution. China (Sichuan).
