Polypedilum (Tripodura) cypellum sp. nov. (Diptera, Chironomidae) from Xishan Island, Zhejiang Province

Polypedilum (Tripodura) cypellum sp. nov. from Xishan Island, Zhejiang Province is described. The new species is most similar to P. (T.) harteni Andersen & Mendes, 2010 morphologically. It can be distinguished from the known species in this genus by the goblet-shaped superior volsella. Diagnostic characters of the male imago (wing, fore tibial apex, hypopygium and superior volsella) are illustrated.
