X.­F. Xue &amp; Z.­W. Song; ex Humulus scandens (Lour.) Merr.(Moraceae) . Paratypes, 2 female and 2 males, with the same data as holotype.</p><p>Relation to host: Vagrant on leaf surface. No damage to the host was observed.</p><p>Etymology: The specific designation is derived from the generic name of the type host plant, Humulus .</p><p>Note: This species is similar to Vittacus mansoni Keifer, 1969, but can be differentiated by tarsal empodium 3­rayed, setae h1 present and female coverflap with 8 longitudinal ridges (10–12 in V. mansoni). This species is the fifth one in the genus Vittacus in the world and also the second one in China. The first Chinese Vittacus species, V. fissistigmae Wei &amp; Kuang was reported from Fissistigma oldhamii (Hemsl.) Merr. (Annonaceae) in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (Wei &amp; Kuang, 1997) and Taiwan (Huang &amp; Wang, 2004), which are in the Oriental region. This new species is from the Qinling Range area, which is an important geographical division between north and south China and the major watershed of the Yellow and Yangtze Rivers. The Qinling Range area is also believed to be the division line between the Oriental Region and Palearctic Region in China. The record of Vittacus in this area reflects that the species in Vittacus may distribute in both Oriental and Palearctic China.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/6C13C65BFFB2FFAAFEA4FB08BF2CFA77	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
