Abstract
BACKGROUND: Recent morphological and molecular studies have clarified some aspects of the taxonomy of Afissa Dieke, 1947, but many species remain unexamined or misclassified. Additional taxonomic work is essential to resolve the classification and distribution of Afissa species in Asia, particularly in China. NEW INFORMATION: Afissaxuexii sp. nov. is described from Yunan and Guizhou Province, China. This new species is characteried by its typical bifurcated penis guide. Diagnosis, description and illustrations are provided.
