Abstract: Schinostethus (Sundodrupeus) sipekorum sp. nov. is described and illustrated
from seepage habitat in Meghalaya, India. The new species can be recognised
predominantly based on the characteristic shape of male aedeagus: narrowly
lanceolate median lobe; broad, apically rounded latero-apical process of
paramere, and long slender and apically pointed medio-apical process of
paramere. In addition, three new country records and three new Chinese province
records of five species of Schinostethus Waterhouse, 1880 are provided.
