This new species is characterized by colour pattern, 6 sutural macrochaeta on dorsal head, smooth seta L1 on labial base, seta p4＋ present on Th. II, seta a2 present on medial Abd. III, seta B6 as macrochaeta on Abd. IV, setae Ae5-7 present on Abd. IV and subapical tooth of mucro obviously larger than apical one. A key to the Homidia species from Zhejiang Province is also provided.展开更多

It is easily separated from the other Homidia species by the median longitudinal stripe from Th. Ⅱ to Abd. Ⅱ, the macrochaeta al on Abd. Ⅰ, 7＋7 macrochaetae on posterior side of Abd. Ⅳ, and four smooth setae on posterior side of the ventral tube. A table on characters of five closely related Homidia species is provided.展开更多

Of the 57 species of the genus Homidia known worldwide, most are distributed in Asia （54 species） with China （32 species including 23 native species） having the most species in this genus. The only region outside Asia with a significant fauna is United States including Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana and Hawaii （6 species）. The authors propose a theory for the origin and diffusion of members of this genus.展开更多
