Abstract:

A oecophorid pest boring into cone and seed of the China Fir[(Cunninghama lanceolata (Lamb.)Hook] has recently been found in the southern part of China.As a result of examination, we have concluded that this insect represents a new species of Macrobathra.We give the specific name Macrobathra flavidus Qian et Liu, sp.n.This species resembles Macrobathra quercea Moriuti, 1973, but it distinctly differs from the latter in the male and female genitalia.

Key words: Oecophoridae, Macrobathra, New species, China, Cunninghamia Lanceolata (Lamb.) Hook
