A new species of the genus Sovia Evans, 1949, viz. S. liuzihaoi Huang Fan sp. nov. is described from Mt. Ailao, Xinping Yi and Dai Autonomous County, representing a remarkable geographically southward extension of this genus in Yunnan Province, Southwestern China. In general appearance S. liuzihaoi Huang Fan sp. nov. resembles S. separata magna (Evans, 1932), but in our molecular phylogenetic analyses, this species is clustered with S. lii Xue, 2015. The adults and male genitalia of the new species and related species are illustrated.
2023年,中国西南地区云南省新平县哀牢山发现了索维亚属(Sovia Evans,1949)的一个新物种,即刘氏索维亚(Sovia liuzihaoi Huang Fan sp. nov.),这是该属在中国云南省地理分布显著向南扩展的一个实例。从外观上看,刘氏索维亚(Sovia liuzihaoi Huang Fan sp. nov.)与大分索维亚(Sovia separata magna (Evans, 1932))相似,但在分子系统发育分析中,该物种与李索维亚(Sovia lii Xue, 2015)聚类。文中展示了新物种及相关物种的成虫和雄性生殖器。
