Taeniorhynchus lineatopennis, n. sp. — ♀. Head dark brown, with brassy yellow curved scales on median portion and extending from occiput to vertex ... dark brown flat lateral scales, and a few forked scales ... antennae dark brown ... palpi ... proboscis ... clypeus dark brown .... Thorax: prothoracic lobes dark brown ... no scales; mesonotum dark brown, the median portion covered with dark brown curved scales bordered by a heavy band of brassy yellow curved scales, extending cephalad from one wing joint (inverted “ U ”) across to the other, a very distinct and easily-recognized marking. … pleura brown and clothed only with a few brown hairs [setae]; scutellum dark brown, with brassy yellow curved scales .... Abdomen dark brown, with broad basal bands of “ dirty white ” scales hardly extending the full width of the terga; the first segment is dark, and the second has merely a median light spot, while on the ultimate segment the band is quite narrow; venter dark. Legs are brown throughout; coxae and trochanters and ventral side of femora somewhat lighter than the rest, a light spot near the apex of fore femora on dorsal side, i. e., the ventral colour runs up ... more distal joints are darker, ranging from purplish to fawn colour .... Wings clear, clothed with brown and light typical Taeniorhynchus scales. The costa is dark throughout, the subcosta and first longitudinal [vein R 1] are mostly light scaled from the base of the wing to about the junction of the subcosta, and the stem of the fifth long vein [vein CuA] is also light, with some light scales on the lower fork. … halteres have a light stem and dark knob. Knight & Hull (1953) described the male genitalia and larva, Tanaka (2003) described the pupa and Choochote et al. (2001) described the egg of subspecies lineatopennis. Gutsevich (1955) described aureus from Kraskino, Russia, which is an urban locality in the Khasansky District of Primorsky Krai, located on the shore of Posyet Bay, 282 km southwest of Vladivostok, near the border with North Korea. If or where a type series was deposited is not known. An unpublished (1973) translation by B. F. Eldridge of the original Russian description follows.
