Abstract

New taxonomic and faunistic data for three species of the genus Procirrus Latreille, 1829 from China are provided. Two new species from Hainan and Yunnan provinces are described and illustrated: P. hei Huang & Peng, sp. nov. and P. yunnanensis Huang & Peng, sp. nov. Additional data (including photographs of the habitus and the type labels) on the type specimen of P. fusculus Sharp, 1889 are given. Procirrus lewisii Sharp, 1889 is recorded from Shandong, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Fujian, Hubei, Guangxi, Guizhou, Chongqing, Sichuan and Xizang for the first time. An identification key to Asian species of Procirrus is given.

Introduction

To date, 30 species of the genus Procirrus Latreille have been reported, of which there are six species from the Palearctic and Oriental regions: P. feae Fauvel, 1895, P. fusculus Sharp, 1889, P. hermani Drugmand, 1989, P. lefebvrei Latreille, 1829, P. lewisii Sharp, 1889, and P. saulcyi Fauvel, 1873 (Newton 2025). The Ethiopian region is known for having the greatest diversity of Procirrus species. Within Chinese territories, only Procirrus lewisii has been documented as the sole representative species of this genus (Xu et al. 2020).

A study of Procirrus material from China yielded two species new to science and additional records of P. lewisii Sharp, 1889. Additional data on the type of P. fusculus Sharp, 1889 and a key to Asian species of Procirrus are given.

Lectotype. • 1 ex.; glued on card, a specimen with five labels as follows: “Type” “Ind. or. Dacca” “Procirrus fusculus Type D. S. Dacca. Ind. or.” “Sharp Coll. 1905-313.” “NHMUK014383008” (BMNH).

Comments.

Habitus as in Fig. 1A, B. The original description is based on an unspecified number of syntypes, among them at least one specimen, from “Ind. or. Dacca” (Sharp 1889). Procirrus fusculus was redescribed in the Japanese literature by Tsunamitsu Adachi (1955) with concise descriptions, documenting its distribution in Japan and India (Japan: curated by Sharp; India: label transcription indicates “Ind. or. Dacca”). However, according to the type label, its distribution was exclusively reported from Bangladesh (Herman 2010). Through examination of the type specimen of P. fusculus and extensive comparative specimens of P. lewisii Sharp, 1889, the two species were found to share a few diagnostic characters in external morphology. However, due to the absence of a genitalic dissection and study of the type specimen of P. fusculus, conclusive determination of their conspecificity remains elusive.

Comments.

Previously, this species was known from Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Thailand and the Chinese provinces Guangdong, Hong Kong and from Taiwan (Xu et al. 2020; Senda et al. 2023). The aforementioned material indicates that this species is common and widespread throughout East Asia and the Oriental Realm, exhibiting considerable intraspecific variation in morphological traits. These include body size, coloration, punctation, and the shape of the head, pronotum and elytra, as well as internal structures of the aedeagus. However, minimal variation occurs in the aedeagus framework itself, and the shape of male sternite VIII remains constant. The above specimens from Shandong, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Fujian, Hubei, Guangxi, Guizhou, Chongqing, Sichuan and Xizang represent new provincial records.

Habitus as in Fig. 3B. Coloration: head, pronotum and abdomen blackish-brown; elytra reddish; antennae and legs brown to light brown.

Head nearly orbicular, widest across eyes; punctation rather fine, weakly umbilicate and very dense, surface matt. Eyes large, 0.73 times as long as postocular region in dorsal view. Antennae slender, antennomere 1 2.17–3.08 times, 2 1.50–2.00 times, 3 1.17–1.62 times, 11 1.28–1.85 times as long as 4. Neck across nuchal constriction one-fourth to one-third as wide as greatest postocular width of head.

Pronotum distinctly oblong; lateral margins weakly convex in dorsal view; punctation similar to that of head, but coarser; midline with short and very narrow rudiment of glossy line posteriorly.

Elytra shorter than pronotum; humeral angles well developed; punctation weakly coarser and sparser than that of pronotum; pubescence denser than that of pronotum. Hind wings well developed. Protarsomeres 1–4 strongly dilated.

Abdomen parallel, widest at segment VI, evenly narrowing posteriorly. Abdominal tergites with coarse and dense punctation, and long decumbent pubescence, weakly denser on apical tergites; interstices without microsculpture.

Male. Posterior margin of abdominal tergite VIII (Fig. 5C) convex. Sternite VIII (Fig. 5D) weakly transverse, with deep and weakly asymmetric posterior excision, pubescence not distinctly modified. Aedeagus as in Fig. 5E–G; median lobe blade-shaped in ventral view and somewhat curved in lateral view; parameres slender starting from base, with about 5–6 apical setae; internal sac with somewhat hook-shaped sclerotized spine basally and large sclerotized spine apically, and with long flagellum coiled in basal part of aedeagus.

Female. Abdominal tergite VIII (Fig. 5A) oblong, with strongly convex posterior margin. Posterior margin of abdominal sternite VIII (Fig. 5B) broadly convex.

Distribution and natural history.

The type locality is situated in Yinggeling to the east of Baisha, central Hainan. Two specimens were sifted from grass roots and humus in an evergreen broad-leaved forest at an altitude of 200 m.

Etymology.

This species is dedicated to Zhu-Qing He, who is a renowned specialist on mainly Palaearctic Orthoptera and the collector of the type specimens.

Comparative notes.

Regarding the general shape of the body, aedeagus, and male sternite VIII, P. hei is similar to dark-coloured specimens of morphologically variable P. lewisii, a widespread species in East Asia. It can be distinguished from it by the larger body size, the reddish elytra, the blade-shaped median lobe of aedeagus in ventral view and two sclerotized spines of different shapes in the internal sac (P. lewisii: median lobe asymmetric and moderately concave apically; internal sac with three sclerotized spines).

Female. Abdominal tergite VIII (Fig. 6A) distinctly oblong, with strongly convex posterior margin. Posterior margin of abdominal sternite VIII (Fig. 6B) broadly convex.

Distribution and natural history.

The specimens were collected in three localities in southwest Yunnan, China. They were sifted from the leaf litter of broad-leaved forests.

Etymology.

The specific epithet is derived from Yunnan Province, where the type locality is situated.

Comparative notes.

Regarding the coloration of the body, the shape of the pronotum, the elytra and the male sternite VIII, as well as features of the punctation and pubescence, P. yunnanensis is similar to light-coloured specimens of morphologically variable P. lewisii. It can be distinguished from it by the larger body size, the slightly longer neck, the slender aedeagus with two sclerotized spines and a short flagellum curled in the basal part of the internal sac (P. lewisii: internal sac with three sclerotized spines and a long flagellum).
