AI Article Synopsis
- A new species of the Chimarra genus, Chimarra paramonorum n. sp., is described based on specimens from Zhejiang Province, China.
- The adult male and larva are distinguished from similar species by specific features such as preanal appendages and larval characteristics like mandible teeth.
- This marks the first detailed larval description for the Chimarra genus in China, aided by genetic sequencing for identification.
Article Abstract
The adult male and larva of a new species in the genus Chimarra Stephens, Chimarra paramonorum n. sp., are described, diagnosed, and illustrated based on the specimens collected in Zhejiang Province, China. The larva and adult male were associated by mtCOI gene sequences. The male can be separated from C. monorum and C. thienemanni mainly by small preanal appendages and by wrinkled, hairless endotheca. The larva of the new species can be separated from other congeners by a combination of characters including the notch on the anterior margin of the frontoclypeus, the teeth of the mandibles, and the length of the seta-bearing process of each forecoxa. The larval description is the first for Chimarra in China.
