Notes on types and synonyms. Crossoglossa cavipennis Bates: This species was originally described from an unspecified number of specimens from "Hiogo", but more than one specimen was implied. In the collection of MNHN and NHML, a total of three specimens from Bates's collection are perfectly in accord with the original description. We herein designate the one deposited in MNHN bearing Bates's handwriting label (Fig. 15A) as the lectotype.
Parena rufotestacea Jedlička: The holotype (NMPC) and paratype (NHML) examined herein are perfectly in accord with the original description. They are all identical to P. cavipennis. P. laesipennis with dark color from southwest China and Southeast Asia was misidentified as P. rufotestacea by Xie & Yu (1993) at first and then applied in later literature (Kirschenhofer, 2006; Park et al., 2006).

Comparisons. P. cavipennis is similar to and sympatric with P. laesipennis, but can be readily distinguished from the latter species by: (1) elytral striae well incised, intervals slightly convex (in P. laesipennis elytral striae not incised, replaced by rows of fine punctures, intervals almost flat); (2) elytral sutural angles very faintly pointed, outer apical angles fully rounded (in P. laesipennis sutural angles sharply pointed, forming short spines, outer apical angles weakly angulate); (3) LL subequal to LW (in P. laesipennis LL more than 1.5 times LW). Besides above, for Japanese specimens, P. laesipennis is usually much larger than P. cavipennis; and for Chinese specimens, P. laesipennis is usually much darker than P. cavipennis.
Despite the very different external features, P. cavipennis is similar to P. testacea in their male genitalia, in particular for the shape of the apical lamella. However, in P. cavipennis, the dorsal and ventral margins of the median lobe are parallel before apical orifice, and then abruptly narrowed to the apex. While in P. testacea, the dorsal and ventral margins are not parallel, but gradually attenuate from base to apex.
Description. Body length 8.8–10.5 mm. Dorsum yellowish brown; basal three antennomeres, and basal half of antennomere 4 yellow, remainder of antennae nearly black; venter yellowish brown. Pronotum strongly transverse, PW/PL = 1.58–1.66, much wider than head, PW/HW = 1.13–1.19; widest at anterior third, lateral explanations very wide. Elytra without microsculpture; striae shallow, but well incised, finely punctate; intervals slightly convex, very finely and sparsely punctate; disc depressed near middle of third to sixth intervals; apices subtruncate, outer apical angles completely rounded; sutural angles very faintly pointed, without distinct tooth. Median lobe of aedeagus with dorsal and ventral margins parallel before apical orifice, and then abruptly narrowed to apex; apical lamella slightly narrowed to apex, LL subequal to LW, apex rounded. Endophallus (Fig. 16) very coarsely scaled on basal sheath, base of apical sheath subquadrate in dorsal view; squamate sac not divided, situated on basal fifth of median lobe, right to squamate sheath. Gonocoxite II of ovipositor dichotomous, inner branch with two long ensiform setae apically, outer branch with three ensiform setae apically, much shorter than those on the inner branch (Fig. 11Y).
Distribution (Map 2). China (Liaoning, Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Anhui, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan, Fujian, Sichuan, Chongqing, Guizhou, Guangxi, Yunnan, Taiwan), Japan, North Korea, South Korea, Vietnam, Nepal (?).
This species is widely sympatric with P. laesipennis in south China, but much more common in eastern provinces of China and less common in Taiwan and southwest China.
Kirschenhofer (1994: 1023) reported P. cavipennis from Nepal. However, we only examined specimens of P. laesipennis from Nepal and adjacent regions (N. India, S. Xizang), but P. cavipennis were not seen. Probably his record was based on the misidentification of P. laesipennis. P. cavipennis was erroneously reported from Indonesia without specific specimen examination (Xie & Yu, 1993). Their record is far from all confirmed records of this species.
