Lithobius (Ezembius) zebrinus sp. nov. (Lithobiomorpha, Lithobiidae), a new species from south-western China

Ezembius was originally proposed as a subgenus of Lithobius Leach, 1814 in the family Lithobiidae in 1919 by Chamberlin; it accommodates a group of approximately 79 species/subspecies mostly known from Asia, with little extension into north-western North America. A new species Lithobius (Ezembius) zebrinus sp. nov. is described, based on both sexes from Daweishan National Nature Reserve, Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan, south-western China. A detailed morphological description and illustrations of the new species are provided.

Abstract

Ezembius was originally proposed as a subgenus of Lithobius Leach, 1814 in the family Lithobiidae in 1919 by Chamberlin; it accommodates a group of approximately 79 species/subspecies mostly known from Asia, with little extension into north-western North America. A new species Lithobius (Ezembius) zebrinus sp. nov. is described, based on both sexes from Daweishan National Nature Reserve, Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan, south-western China. A detailed morphological description and illustrations of the new species are provided.
