description: Stegana (Steganina) serrata Zhang & Chen, sp. nov.
(Figs. 4C, 4D, 17)
Diagnosis. This species differs from the other species of the castanea group in having the aedeagus distomedially with some minute, serrated processes and apically with much pubescence (Fig. 17B, C).
Description. Male and female: First flagellomere black. Clypeus yellow. Mesonotum brown, with 1 broad, longitudinal dark brown stripe medially (Fig. 4C). Katepisternum yellowish (Fig. 4D). Scutellum mostly brown, dark brown anteromedially, and brownish apically (Fig. 4C). Fore femur with a row of 5 or 6 long setae on distal part of posteroventral surface. Halter grey (Fig. 4C). Abdominal tergites dark brown to black (Fig. 4C, D); sternites brown, about 2 times as wide as long. Male terminalia (Fig. 17): Epandrium with ca. 14 setae on dorsal to posterior portions per side (Fig. 17A). Surstylus slightly squared, with several minute, serrated processes on outer surface and several setulae along outer margin (Fig. 17A). Cercus with much pubescence (Fig. 17A). Hypandrium expanded anteromedially (Fig. 17B, C). Pregonite with 2 sensilla (Fig. 17B, C). Aedeagal sheath nearly erect, slightly dorsad curved, mostly with numerous minute, serrated processes (Fig. 17C, D). Subepandrial sclerite deeply split medially (Fig. 17E).
