Monorbiseta quadrispinula, sp. n. from Maoershan Nature Reserve, Guangxi Province, South China is described. The new species can be distinguished from M. monorbiseta by vibrissal angle and gena brownish black, R2+3 long and slightly straight, female medial part of tergite 8 rectangular, sternite 8 with a row of 4 minute spinules.展开更多
