Description
Summary:A new genus and species of the tribe Ledomyiini, Pseudocingola guanshanensis gen. & sp. nov. is described and illustrated from Guan Mountain, Yifeng, Jiangxi, China. The new genus is characterised in Ledomyiini by the ventral gonocoxal mediobasal lobe uniquely diverging away from the aedeagus except for the base. The taxonomic status of the new genus is discussed with a comparison between the related genera and an updated key to the extant Ledomyiini genera is provided. http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:518789C2-D9F8-45F4-BDF9-65F29E888983
