Abstract

A new species, Neoatractides (Heteratractides) proclusterosetus sp. nov., is described and illustrated in detail, which represents a new recorded genus Neoatractides Lundblad, 1941 and subgenus Heteratractides Lundblad, 1941 from China. The diagnosis of the subgenus Heteratractides is provided. The new species can be distinguished from other species by the dorsal shield consisting of two pairs of small dorsal platelets and a large dorsal plate. A key to the known species worldwide of the subgenus is provided. The type specimen is kept in the Institute of Entomology, Guizhou University, Guiyang, P. R. China (GUGC).
