First record of the lac-producing species Kerrianepalensis Varshney (Hemiptera, Kerriidae) from China, with a key to Chinese species

Lac insects include astonishing species responsible for lac production. Lac is composed of resins, dyes, and shellac wax with significant economic importance. Previously, 11 species of the genus Kerria were reported from China, with the highest species diversity in Yunnan province. Another lac-producing species of the genus Kerria, namely Kerrianepalensis Varshney, is recorded for the first time in Yunnan province, China, on Dalbergiacochinchinensis Pierre ex Laness.
