INSECTA MUNDI, Vol. 11, No.1, March 1997  45 Six new species of  Integripalpia (Trichoptera) from Southern China Yang Lianfang Department of Plant Protection, Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing, Jiangsu Province  210095 PRC and John C. Morse Department of Entomology, Clemson University, Clemson, South Carolina  29634-0365 USA Abstract: Six new species ofTrichoptera are described and figured, belonging to the families Goeridae and Leptoceridae. The goerid species are Goera baishanzuellsis new species and Goera recta new species. The leptocerid species are Setodes chlorinus new species, Ceraclea (Athripsodina) semicircularis new species, Ceraclea (Athripsodina) brachyclada new species, and Ceraclea (Athripsodina) vaciva new species (Leptoceridae). Introduction The diversity ofTrichoptera in southern China is very rich.  The new species described here are in addition to new species recorded in two papers in press or in preparation. Yang L. and  B.J. Armitage (in press) are reporting on  18 Chinese Goera (Go-eridae).  Yang L. and J.C. Morse (in preparation) are reporting on 107 species of Chinese Leptocer-idae. Types of new species described herein are de-posited in the collections  of The  Department of Plant Protection, Nanjing Agricultural University, and in the Institute of Zoology, Academia Sinica. Goeridae Goera baishanzuensis, new species (Figs. lA-E) Length of male forewing 4.8  mm.  Body and wings yellowish brown. Dry specimen preserved on glue point such that maxillary palpi not visible. Sternite VI  bearing forked urosternite ending in pair of clavate processes. Male genitalia (Figs. lA-E): Segment  IX broad dorsally with ventral half  portion missing. Preanal appendages slightly shorter than segmen  t X, broadly lobe-like,  with basal half constricted.  Tergum X consisting of three thick processes:  dorsomesal, digitate projection andpair oflower lateral  process-es.  Basal segment of each inferior appendage en-larged, bearing no processes; distal segment con-sisting of thick, setose, lateral lobe and slender, sclerotized mesal process with its apical half  curved mesad.  Phallus short,  tubular, ejaculatory duct apparently sclerotized.  Parameres absent. Diagnosis: This species is especially similar to Goera spinosa Yang & Armitage (1996), but in G. baishanzuensis: (1) the lower lateral processes of segment X are longer than the mesal projection and each bears normal setae; (2) the preanal appendag-es are huge, lobe like; and (3) the distal segment of each inferior appendage is produced into a lateral lobe and a long, slender, mesal process. Etymology:  "Baishanzu,"  Chinese phonetic spelling, with reference to the type locality.  Ho-lotype: Male, Zhe-jiang Province, Qing-yuan Coun-ty, Bai-shan-zu mountains, 21  VIII 1993,  1600 m elevation,  ColI.  Wu  Hong  (Nanjing Agricultural University). Distribution: This species is known only from the type locality in southeastern China. Goera recta, new species (Figs. 2A-E) Length of male forewing 7.0 mm.  Body and wings brown.  Scapes of male antennae about as long as head and about 2.2 times as long as wide. Sternite VI urosternite consisting of two separated processes. Male genitalia (Figs. 2A-E): Tergum IX long in lateral view, sternum IX missing.  Preanal ap-pendages slender and clavate,  each  with  apical taper.  Dorsal process of tergum X represented by single,  capitate  lobe;  lower,  paired processes  of tergum X terete, semi-sclerotized.  Basal segment of each inferior appendage much enlarged, with apicodorsal end bearing elongate process slightly broadened in middle then tapering to acute apex and with apicoventrolateral end short, triangular; 46 distal segment represented by long, straight api-comesal process with compressed apex and without basal  projection.  Phallus  tubular,  without parameres. Diagnosis: This species  is  quite  similar to Goera bicuspidata Yang &  Armitage (1996),  but differs from it in that in G.  recta:  (1)  the ventral process of  the basaljoint of each inferior appendage is triangular, about as long as its base is broad; (2) the distal segmen  t  of each inferior appendage is straight and  compressed  with  a  broad  apex  in lateral view; and (3) urosternite VI bears two pro-cesses that are separated basally. Etymology: Latin, "straight," with reference to the shape of the distal segment of each inferior appendage. Holotype: Male, Hu-bei Province, Xing-shan mountains,  Xiao-he-kou,  700  m  elevation,  11  V 1994,  CoIl.  Yang Xing-ke  in light trap  (#19471, Institute of Zoology, Academia Sinica). Distribution: This species is known only from the type locality in southcentral China. Leptoceridae Ceraclea (Athripsodina) vaciva, new species (Figs. 3A-D, 4E-G) Length offorewing: male 6.4 - 6.6 mm, female 5.7-6  mm.  Head and thorax dark brown,  frons yellowish brown, setae on frons and dorsum of  head white.  Forewing yellowish  brown,  covered  with golden brown setae with light and dark brown setae in small patches. Male genitalia (Figs.  3A-D):  Superior ap-pendages fused basally for  about one-third their length,  each  apex  blunt and curved downward. Tergum X broad at base, tapering to narrow apex, sub-apical sensilla-bearing lobes projecting lateral-ly and forming tri-lobed apex in dorsal view.  Main body of each inferior appendage and harp  ago ab-sent; its basoventrallobe huge, sinuous with apical one-third narrowed and curved ventrad and me-sad, with 4-5  protuberances apically; mesal ridge slightly produced with many setae.  Phallus (ph aI-lobase)  tubular,  apex  of apicoventral lobe  with short mesal cleft.  Paramere spines fused for five-sixths of their length. Female genitalia (Figs.  4E-G):  Pleural re-gions of  segment IX distinctively striated. Superior appendages small, triangular, not quite reaching mid-distance of lamellae.  Lamellae elliptical, two times as long as wide, sparsely covered with short Vol. 11,  No.1, March, 1997, INSECTA MUNDI setae.  Gonopod plates semitransparent, slightly striated on lateral margins; apicomesal processes about 2.5  times as long  as wide.  Spermathecal sclerite broadest one-third distance from posterior end in ventral view. Diagnosis: This species is  a  member of the Ceraclea  (Athripsodina)  marginata Group,  very similar to Ceraclea (A.) fooensis from southeastern China,  keying with it in the work of Yang and Morse (1988) wherein the main body of each inferi-or  appendage is  absent and the parameres  are fused into one.  Ceraclea (A.) vaciva differs from it, however, in that (1) the male superior appendages are fused for one-third of their length; (2) the apex of  male tergum X is withou  tan apicomesal cleft and its subapical sensilla lobes are large; (3) the mesal ridge of each male inferior appendage is without processes; and (4) the fusedparamere spines in the male are separated at the base. Etymology: Latin, "empty, free  from,"  with reference to the absence of the main body of each inferior appendage. Holotype: Male, Si-chuan Province, Feng-du County, Shi-ping, 6 X 1994, 610 m elevation, ColI. Li  Fa-sheng (#148947  Institute of Zoology,  Aca-demia Sinica).  Paratypes: eight males (#148895, #151008,  #148898,  #148899,  #148957,  #148962, #148951, #151031, Institute of Zoology, Academia Sinica) and  five females (#148983,# 148987,#148977, #151043, #148971, Institute of Zoology, Academia Sinica), same data as holotype. Distribution: This species is known only from the type locality in southcentral China. Ceraclea (Athripsodina) brachyclada, new species (Figs. 5A -E) Length of male forewing 6.4 mm.  Head and dorsum of thorax dark brown, legs  light yellow. Forewing light brown, covered with golden yellow-ish setae. Male genitalia (Figs. 5A-E): Segment IX grad-ually narrowed dorsally in lateral view, apices of superior appendages abruptly narrowed and wide-ly separated.  Tergum X broad, apex blunt with short mesal cleft.  Main body of each inferior ap-pendage and its harpago absent.  Basoventrallobe of each inferior appendage short, abou  t half  as long as segment IX is tall, constricted near middle, apex tapered and directed mesad and with apical crown of very small protuberances, mesal ridge produced and bearing many setae.  Phallobase tubular, api-INSECTA MUNDI, Vol. 11, No.1, March 1997 coventrallobe with short cleft at apex.  Paramere spines, stout, fused for entire length, about half as long as phallus. Diagnosis: This species is also a member of Geraclea (Athripsodina) marginata Group, closely related to the previous new species and keying with it and C.  fooensis in the work of Yang and Morse (1988), but differing from them in that C.  brachy-clada has (1)  the superior appendages not fused basally; (2) tergum X is broad with a bilobed apex; (3)  the ventral lobe of each inferior appendage is short, only half as long as segment IX is tall, with the protuberances of the apical crown much small-er. Etymology: Greek, "short  branch," with refer-ence to the relatively short basoventrallobe of  each inferior appendage. Holotype: Male, Si-chuan Province, Feng-du County, Shi-ping, G X 1994, GlO m elevation, CoIl. Li Fa-sheng (#148939  Institute of Zoology,  Aca-demia Sinica).  Paratypes: three males, same data as holotype (#148992, #151010, #148901 Institute of Zoology, Academia Sinica). Distribution: The species is known only from the type locality in southcentral China. Ceraclea (Athripsodina) semicircularis, new species (Figs. GA-D) Length of male forewing G.5  mm.  Body dark brown.  Wing pattern typical of C.  (A.)  marginata Group: medium brown, covered with yellow brown setae in patches especially along veins, forming an irrorate appearance. Male genitalia (Figs. GA-D): Superior  append-ages broad and separate basally, apical half slen-der, slightly curved inward, blunt apically.  Ter-gum X long and broad with apex produced in the center in dorsal view;  in side view,  apicolateral sensilla-bearing lobes folded upward.  Main body and harpago of each  inferior appendage absent; basoventral process huge, erect basally, curved at middle, with small setae-bearing lobe causing dor-sal edge to be angled in lateral view; process semi-circular in ventral  view, its apex with several small setiferous protuberances; basomesal surface of ap-pendage bearing G-7long and stout setae. Phallus tubular, apicoventralprocess thin, semi-sclerotized, with apex slightly bilobed. Diagnosis: This species is the member of Ger-aclea (Athripsodina) marginata Group, somewhat similar to Geraclea (A.) fooensis and keying with it 47 in the work of  Yang and  Morse (1988), but differing from it in that (1) the basoventral process of each male inferior appendage is strongly curved at mid distance,  with its apex bearing 3-4  short, blunt protuberances; the mesal ridge of the huge lobe is not produced into processes but the ventromesal surface is produced and bears G-7 stout setae and (2) the male parameres are entirely fused, slender and much longer than half the length of the phal-lus. Etymology: Latin, "semi-circle,"  with  refer-ence to the arched inferior appendages. Holotype: Male, Si-chuan Province, Feng-du County, Shi-ping, G X 1994, GI0 m elevation, ColI. Li Fa-sheng (#151003  Institute of Zoology,  Aca-demia Sinica). Distribution: The species is known only from the type locality in southcentral China. Setodes chlorinus, new species (Figs. 7A-D, 8E-G) Length of male forewing G.5  mm.  Head and thorax pale yellow, abdomen green, forewing cov-ered with golden yellowish setae, scattered with silvery setae in patches, with brown spots along the out margin at the ends of major longitudinal veins. Male genitalia (Figs.  7A-D): Sternum IX long and setose, sinuately tapering to  narrow tergum with several strong seta  -bearing processes in up per half  of posterior edge.  Superior appendages small, triangular, hairy, separated basally.  Tergum X long, rectangular in dorsal view, slightly narrowed in basal half with shallow excision at end.  Inferior appendages three branched:  dorsal branch slen-der, with apical part biforked, with each fork setose and apically blunt; mesal branch rectangular in lateral view;  ventral branch short, about half as long as mesal one, and subdivided into slender and acute outer arcuate lobe and blunt and thumb-like inner lobe.  Phallus with short, plate-like phallo-base, phalicata long, trough-shaped, evenly curved downward, parameres absent. Female genitalia (Figs.  8E-G): Segment IX slightly longer dorsally than ventrally.  Anterior part of gonopod plate convex, forming transverse, elliptical band; rest of  plate concave, except paired apical projections slender, as long as small lamellae lobes, and suspended beneath plate and lamellae. Tergum X broad, slightly narrowed at distal third in dorsal view.  Lamellae large, each consisting of two lobes,  with ventrolateral lobe  much smaller than large dorsal lobe. 48 Diagnosis: This new species is somewhatsim-ilar to the members of Schmid's (1987) Primitive Branch, keying to Setodes diversus Yang and Mor-se ofthe S. punctata  Group in the work of  Yang and Morse (1989). It  differs from it and other members of that Group in the male by (1) the several irregu-lar strong processes on the posterolateral margin of segment IX;  (2) the massive, rectangular shape of the mesal branch of each inferior appendage and the division of the ventral branch into an acute and a blunt processes; and (3) the absence of  par  a meres on the phallus. Etymology: Greek, "green," with reference to the green abdomen of this new species. Holotype: Si-chuan Province, Feng-du Coun-ty, Shi-ping, 6 X 1994,610 m elevation, ColI. Li Fa-sheng (#148896 Institute of Zoology, Academia Sin-ica).  Paratypes: three females, same data as holo-type (#148993, #148973, #148990, Institute of  Zoo  1-ogy, Academia Sinica). Distribution: This species is known only from the type locality in southcentral China.
