Abstract

Macrosaldula bogdashana Luo et Vinokurov sp. n. is described from Bogda Shan Range, Northwestern China. The new species is most similar in size and vestiture to M. oblonga oblonga (Stål, 1858) but differs in the color pattern of forewings (Fig. 1-3) and male genitalia structure (Figs. 11–14). M. bogdashana is also similar to M. tadzhika (Kiritshenko, 1912) in the same vestiture, but can be distinguished from the latter by the shorter body (see Table), shape of pale spots on corium (Figs. 6–9), and the male genitalia structure (Figs. 15–18).
