Abstract

A new species group, the ornatipes group, is established within the subgenus Steganina of the genus Stegana, based on three known and seven new species, all of which are endemic to the Oriental Region: S. (S.) chitouensis Sidorenko, S. (S.) ornatipes Wheeler & Takada, S. (S.) vietnamensis Sidorenko, S. (S.) albiventralis sp. nov., S. (S.) angusigena sp. nov., S. (S.) lingnanensis sp. nov., S. (S.) mengla sp. nov., S. (S.) nulliseta sp. nov., S. (S.) pilosella sp. nov. and S. (S.) zhaofengi sp. nov. A key to all species of the group is provided.
