Neoblastobasis Kuznetzov & Sinev 1985
Neoblastobasis Kuznetzov & Sinev, 1985 The genus Neoblastobasis contains eight described species which are found only in the Old World (Adamski et al. 2010). It is allied to Blastobasis, but distinguished by having a large spine-like projection arising from the base of the lower part of the valva, while in Blastobasis the projection is absent or distinctly shorter than half the length of valva (Kuznetzov & Sinev 1985; Adamski et al. 2010). Blastobasis murcyae Adamski & Brown, 2002, described from New Caledonia, and B. ianella Adamski, 2003 from Thailand, which have a similar large spine-like projection from the lower part of valva, are hereby transferred to Neoblastobasis as N. murcyae (Adamski & Brown, 2002) and N. ianella (Adamski, 2003) (new combinations).Published as part of Chen, Fuqiang, Huang, Dunyuan & Wu, Chunsheng, 2013, Camellia fruit borer, Neoblastobasis camelliae, a new species of Blastobasinae in China (Lepidoptera, Blastobasidae), pp. 556-562 in Zootaxa 3682 (4) on page 557, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3682.4.6, http://zenodo.org/record/22057

The female holotype was collected from Yulongxueshan whilst the male paratypes were collected from Ludian, thus the association of male and female requires a confirmation from more material. In a recent expedition made by the first author, specimens of both sexes were collected from both localities. An examination of male and female genitalia proved the original association of male and female to be correct. Distribution.

Diagnosis. The species is different by the forewing of male has the upper edge of cell diffused with fuscous long setae at basal half and androconial hairs covered with apical 1/3 of the cell from the upper edge. In male genitalia, it is characteristic by the three strong specialized setae about 3/5 length of valva, and the third seta with minute spines laterally and a knifeshaped apex. In female genitalia, it can be distinguished by its signa about 5/6 length of corpus and the shape of signa. Male genitalia (Fig. 12). Uncus slender; gnathos about 4/5 length of uncus, apex with several dorsal teeth; tegumen with sclerotized dorsal ridge X-shaped; valva densely covered with setae, slightly constristed in base and apex, three strong specialized setae present at apex, about 3/5 length of valva, third seta with minute spines laterally and a knife-shaped apex; vinculum broad; saccus round; juxta plate-like, with apex bifid; aedeagus slender, vesica with many minute spines, ductus ejaculatorius arising from middle. Female genitalia (Fig. 13). Anal papillae relatively broad, densely covered with setae; apophysis anterioris and posterioris near same length; antrum elongated, cylindric; collar sclerotized; ductus seminalis arising below collar; ductus bursae about 1/3 length of corpus bursae, with many minute spines; a pair of singa present, about 5/6 length of corpus, consisting of many minute spines, and with base and apex constricted.

All deposited in IZCAS. Distribution. China (Heilongjiang (?), Zhejiang, Hubei, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangdong, Hainan, Guangxi, Sichuan, Yunnan, Xizang), Vietnam, India, Nepal, Afghanistan, Ethiopia. Remarks. The specimens examined were mostly from South China, except a female from Heilongjiang Province (Dailing). The discontinuous distribution is hard to explained. We doubt the specimens from Heilongjiang was mislabeled. So the distribution of Heilongjiang is in doubt. In China, the species was misidentified as E. peribocalis (Walker, 1859) pastly. Caradja (Caradja, 1925; Caradja & Meyrick, 1934) reported the distribution of this specis in Jiangxi, Fujian and Guangdong Provinces in China. Speidel (1984) rechecked the materials collected by Caradja between 1925–1938, and proposed those materials are the misidentification of E. halialis. By examing all materials from IZCAS and part materials from NKU, we agreed the point that the past “ E. peribocalis ” in China should really be E. halialis. The “ E. peribocalis ” from Song (1993, 2001, 2002) should be E. halialis. The “ E. peribocalis ” from Li, You & Wang (2003) should be the mixture of E. halialis and E. menglensis. The real E. peribocalis is not distributed in China. * Eoophyla peribocalis (Walker, 1859) Cataclysta peribocalis, Walker, 1859, List Spec. Lep. Ins. Brit. Mus., 17: 446.

When Top-Down Meets Bottom-Up: Local Adoption of Social Policy Reform in China
Authoritarian local leaders face two driving forces in social policy making: top-down pressures from the regime and bottom-up motivations derived from local conditions. Existing studies recognize the importance of both forces but remain unclear as to how they interact and which of them is more influential in driving local policy adoption. Focusing on two health insurance integration policies in China, we find that when the policy is political (i.e., entailing substantial class conflicts and bureaucratic friction), top-down pressure for compliance is a dominant driver for local adoption of social policy reform. When the policy is less political, bottom-up motivations based on local economic geography together with top-down pressure drive local adoption. We find support for this argument from an analysis of an original city-level dataset on social health insurance in China from 2004 to 2016. This study has implications for distributive politics, decentralization and government responsiveness in authoritarian countries.Peer reviewe
Does social insurance enrollment improve citizen assessment of local government performance? Evidence from China
Although many studies claim that social policies are “carrots” that authoritarian leaders use to garner public support, the assumption that social benefits can boost public support of government has been rarely tested empirically, especially at the local levels. This article investigates the effects of social insurance enrollment on citizens' assessment of local government performance using data from the 2010 China Family Panel Study. We use propensity score matching to reduce selection bias and ordered probit regressions with fixed effects to examine these possible effects. We find that social insurance enrollment had a significant positive effect on rural citizens' assessment of government performance, but this effect did not exist for their urban and migrant peers. This discrepancy could be largely due to the groups' different expectations for government redistribution and their distinct experiences of China's social welfare reform. We conclude that the Chinese authoritarian government has achieved partial success in its attempt to use socialpolicies to maintain popular support.Peer reviewe
