During his study of the ecology of red pine plantations, Mr. J. L. Martin, Forest Insect Laboratory, Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, found a species of Laspeyresia feeding as larvae under the bark of living trees. This species is described here to enable him to report on the results of his investigation.Laspeyresia resinosae, new speciesAntenna, head, thorax, and abdomen powdery-grey. Basal half of forewing grey; outer half blackish, with cupreous reflections, the tips of the scales ochreous; outer three-fifths of costa with four pairs of silvery-white geminations; the basal pair of geminations fuse into a single, angular, transverse, shiny-leaden fascia, that extends to the trailing margin just beyond the middle; a similar fascia arises from the second costal geminations, and extends only to the fold; a third leaden fascia arises from the apical geminations, extends irregularly to the tornus, and is broken into three almost equal sections; the central portions of the second and third fasciae are narrowly margined with a few black scales, representing a very poorly defined ocelloid patch; outer margin with a very distinct black line basad to the shiny leaden fringe; the black line cut by three white dashes, two opposite the breaks in the outer, transverse fascia, and the third at the tornal end of that fascia. Hind wing powdery-grey; fringe dirty-white with darker basal line. Under-surface and legs silvery-grey. Tarsi black banded. Wingspread: 9.5-10.5 mm. Moth in late June and early July.

Deep Impression

A small robust species, length 1.5-2.5 mm.Front of the male deeply concave, clothed with short bristle-like hairs, sparsely granulate-punctate, surface opaque, with a long, shining, median carina; second suture of the antennal club subtransverse. Pronotum wider than long, 5.5:3.5; sides slightly rounded, narrowing on the anterior half, constricted behind the anterior margin; the constriction extends across the dorsum, widening on the disk thereby simulating a wide, deep impression on the anterior third; anterior margin is broadly rounded; the surface is moderately clothed with short setae and the punctures are large, dense, and deep.

Female.—Expanse I inch. Fore wings with the costa more straight from the shoulder to near the apex than in Numitor, in this respect approaching Thymelicus; apex rounded, but less than in Numitor; outer margin and hind wing rounded, much as in Numitor; antennæ reaching but little more than one-third the distance to apex of fore wings; palpi as in Numitor, but the third joint longer; abdomen surpassing hind wings, but less so than in Numitor; the whole insect more robust than Numitor.

General Appearance

Abstract Taxonomic review of the genus Yunnantettix Zheng, 1995 is given. It is similar to Aspiditettix Liang, 2009, Pseudepitettix Zheng, 1995, and Epitettix Hancock, 1907. Yunnantettix is the most similar to Aspiditettix in the general appearance, the rugose disc of the pronotum, and the bisinuate lateral lobe of the pronotum, and diff erent from it by the completely reduced hind wing and the position of the antennal socket. Yunnantettix is similar to Pseudepitettix and Epitettix in the moderately widened frontal ridge and low median carina of pronotum, but diff erent from the latter by the presence of the narrow tegmen and a shallow yet distinct tegminal (upper) sinus on the pronotal lateral lobe. Originally, Yunnantettix is a monotypic genus (type species: Yunnantettix bannaensis Zheng, 1995 from South China). Two species are additionally included to this genus: Yunnantettix elytratus (Günther, 1939), comb. n. (= Epitettix elytratus Günther, 1939) from India and Yunnantettix thaicus, sp. n. from Th ailand. Th e new species diff ers from all other species of this genus by the shallow excision on apex of the posterior pronotal process and by the external lateral pronotal carina, arch-like and strongly curved upward above the tegmen. A key to the species and redescription of the genus Yunnantettix are provided.
