Abstract

A new species of the subfamily Amphinemurinae, Amphinemura hainana sp. nov., is described based on several collections from Palaearctic and Oriental China. The species is diagnosed by a pair of large dorsolateral projections on male tenth tergum, terminal costal crossveins reduced or absent, and a pair of vaginal lobes with a thickened inner portion of the female subgenital plate. The new species is compared with other Amphinemura.
