摘要

A new species, Homidia apigmenta n. sp. from East China is described. It is easily separated from the other Homidia species by absence of pigment on the dorsal tergites, presence of leaf-like modified setae on labium and ventral part of head, particular chaetotaxy of macrochaetae on posterior side of Abd. IV, and 5-8 (mostly 5) smooth setae on posterior face and 6-7 smooth setae on lateral flap of ventral tube. A table on characters of five closely related Homidia species is provided. A new record for China, the subspecies H. sauteri formosana Uchida, is redescribed and raised to the species level. A table showing the differences between H. sauteri Borner, and H. formosana Uchida, n. comb. is also provided.
