New snakeflies of the genus Mongoloraphidia H. Aspck amp; U. Aspck, 1968 (Raphidioptera: Raphidiidae) from Xinjiang, China.

ABSTRACT

The raphidiopteran fauna of Xinjiang in northwestern China is poorly known, although it is near Central Asia where the diversity of this group is high. Herein we report a new species and a new Chinese record of the raphidiid genus Mongoloraphidia H. Aspck U. Aspck, 1968 from Xinjiang, namely Mongoloraphidia xinjiangana sp. nov. and Mongoloraphidia (Mongoloraphidia) kaszabi (H. Aspck U. Aspck, 1967), respectively. A key to the identification of the Mongoloraphidia species from China is provided.
