A new species, Maua squeala sp. nov., is described from China. This species is similar to M. affinis Distant, 1905 and M. palawanensis Duffels, 2009, but can be distinguished by the shorter and more slender body of the new species, the lateral fasciae on the mesonotum and the shape of the male genitalia. The intraspecific variation of this species is discussed based on morphological observation combined with sequences of partial mitochondrial COI gene (DNA barcoding) of individuals exhibiting different morphological characters.
本文描述了中国的一个新物种,即 squeala 属的 Maua 种。该物种与 Distant(1905)描述的 affinis 种和 Duffels(2009)描述的 palawanensis 种相似,但可以通过新种更短、更纤细的身体、中胸上的侧带和雄性生殖器的形状来区分。基于具有不同形态特征的个体的部分线粒体 COI 基因(DNA 条形码)的形态观察和序列,讨论了该种的种内变异。
