Cina infestata: l'immagine di Cina nella fantascienza di Han Song
No full textThis paper focuses on the work of Han Song, an important contemporary Chinese sf writer. His dark and difficult stories brim with violence and bloodshed and frequently leave readers puzzled as to his intentions, yet many critics have defended the value of his work. My analysis focuses on the reasons for the persistence of such dark images of China in his writing. Han Song's work exceeds Lu Xun's critique of national character and makes him an inheritor of the enlightenment spirit of the May 4th Movement (1915–1921). At the same time, the impact of Buddhism imbues his work with a nihilism that inevitably dilutes the power of his critique. Paradoxical feelings of detachment from and attachment to reality find voice in his sf writing, which ought to be viewed as the practice of dharma as well as a critique of reality. In other words, his “Gloomy China” should be seen not only as a national allegory in Fredric Jameson's sense of the term, but also as a universal exploration of the meaning of existence

Tridrepana subadelpha Song & Xue & Han 2011
No full textTridrepana subadelpha Song, Xue & Han, sp. nov. Figs 11–12, 63, 87 Description. Head. Antenna fulvous, bipectinate in male. Frons brown in upper half, pale yellow below, smoothscaled. Labial palpus pale yellow, reaching frons in male. Vertex with anterior half brownish yellow, posterior half pale yellow. Thorax. Dorsum and legs pale yellow. Both mid and hind tibia in male with one pair of terminal spurs, outer spur shorter than inner one. Length of forewing: ♂ 13 mm. Wings: forewing apex moderately falcate, outer margin under apex slightly concave. Ground colour pale yellow. Forewing with brown crescent patch under apex, with one brownish black ovate spot inside; antemedial line grayish brown, punctuate; postmedial line brown, punctuate, bent inwards below M 1 and outwards between M 2 and CuA 2; discal spot and mid-cell spot grayish brown, posterodistal spot a white strip, ringed with brown; two big round grayish brown patches near lower angle of cell, below base of M 3 and CuA 1, each with a dark brown ovate spot inside; fringes dark brown from apex to M 3, bright yellow below M 3. Hind wing with antemedial and postmedial lines similar to those of forewing, the latter strongly bent inwards under CuA 2; one small elongate pale grayish brown patch near lower angle of cell, a brown spot inside the patch between M 3 and CuA 1; fringes bright yellow. Ventral side pale yellow, all markings indistinct. Venation. Forewing: R 2 and R 3+4 diverging from apex of areole, M 1 stalked with lower margin of areole. Abdomen. Pale yellow. Male genitalia. Uncus sclerotized, bifurcate, each lobe with two parts, the inner half semicircular, the outer part broad, digitate and elongate. Socii sclerotized, digitate, slender. Median process of gnathos elliptical, covered with hair-like spines. Valva very short, digitate, terminal half with long and dense hairs. Saccus short, triangular. Anellus degenerate. Aedeagus stout, sclerotized posteriorly, cornuti fascicled strong spines. Female genitalia. Unknown. Diagnosis. This new species belongs to the sadana species group, and is close to T. sadana, T. finita, T. hypha and T. adelpha. On the wing pattern, the ground colour and the patches near the lower angle of the forewing cell in T. subadelpha are paler than in those four species; the forewing apex is less falcate than in T. sadana and T. adelpha. In the male genitalia, T. subadelpha is distinctive in that each lobe of the uncus divides into two parts, the inner semicircular and the outer extended into a digitiform process. The lobes of the uncus are not bifid in T. sadana (Fig. 62), T. hypha (Fig. 65) and T. finita (Fig. 66). In addition, the median process of the gnathos is less broad and flat than in T. sadana. T. subadelpha is different from T. adelpha (Figs 64, 88) in that: the uncus is deeply bifurcate, but just concave in T. adelpha; the inner half of the uncus lobe is semicircular, but truncate in T. adelpha; the outer branch is much longer and thicker, well extended beyond the inner half, with obtuse apex, but in T. adelpha the outer branch is distinctly smaller, and the apex is acute.

Frons dark brown in upper half, pale yellow below, smoothly scaled. Labial palpus yellow, slightly extending beyond frons. Vertex pale fulvous. Thorax. Dorsum yellow. Legs yellowish brown. Hind tibia in male with one pair of terminal spurs, the outer spur shorter than the inner one. Length of forewing: ♂ 15 mm. Wings: forewing with apex strongly falcate; outer margin under apex gently curved; anal angle roundly protruding. Ground colour dark yellow on forewing, a little pale on hind wing. Forewing with brown crescent patch below apex, shaded with dark brown and with a series of gray spots inside; antemedial line indistinct; postmedial line brown, wavy, not reaching costa, angled between M 3 and CuA 1; submarginal line brown, wavy; mid-cell, cell and posterodistal spots white. Hind wing with postmedial line curved, indistinct; submarginal line brown, wavy; discal spot white, ringed with brown. Ventral side yellow, almost all markings invisible, except brown crescent patch on apex of forewing. Venation. Forewing: R 1 anastomosing with R 2-4 for a short distance in basal one third of areole, R 2 diverging before apex of areole, M 1 stalked with lower margin of areole. Abdomen. Yellow, slender. Male genitalia. Uncus sclerotized, bifurcate. Socii slightly sclerotized, robust, about half length of uncus branch. Dorsal part of gnathos broad, nearly triangular, spinose; ventral plate with two pointed processes. Anellus sclerotized, slender, with two slender branches basally. Valva long, not reaching apex of uncus, gradually broadened from base to terminal one third, then suddenly narrowing and digitiform terminally, bending upwards. Saccus slender and elongate, a little shorter than uncus. Aedeagus slender, sclerotized posteriorly, cornuti a spinose band and a patch of bigger spines posteriorly. Female genitalia. Unknown. Diagnosis. On the wing pattern, T. subunispina is close to T. unispina in the crocea species group. But they differ in the following features: the ground colour of T. subunispina is darker, the apex of the forewing is more strongly falcate, the outer margin under the apex is gently curved and the anal angle is roundly protruding in T. subunispina. In the male genitalia, T. subunispina is distinctive in that the valva is suddenly narrowed on the terminal one third, with a round apex. In T. unispina, the valva narrows gradually, with an acute apex. In addition, the processes on the ventral plate of the gnathos in T. subunispina are much longer than those in T. unispina. Material examined. Holotype: ♂, CHINA, Yunnan: Mangshi, Badong, 4.V.1980, coll. Gao Ping (IZCAS). Etymology. The species name is combined from Latin prefix sub - and unispina which refers to the close relationship between the new species and T. unispina. Distribution. China (Yunnan).Published as part of Song, Wenhui, Xue, Dayong & Han, Hongxiang, 2011, A taxonomic revision of Tridrepana Swinhoe, 1895 in China, with descriptions of three new species (Lepidoptera, Drepanidae), pp. 39-62 in Zootaxa 3021 on pages 49-5

Forewing with brown crescent patch below apex; antemedial line indistinct; postmedial line brown, wavy, not reaching costa, angled inwards below M 1 and outwards on M 3, bounded exteriorly by an indistinct pale brown line; submarginal line composed of a series of blackish spots, much larger and blacker between R 5 and M 3, on the inner margin of the apical crescent patch; mid-cell, cell and posterodistal spots white, surrounded with reddish brown. Hind wing with postmedial line curved, indistinct, bent inwards on anal fold, accompanied by a series of dots posteriorly; submarginal line black, regularly punctuate; discal and posterodistal spots white, ringed with brown. Ventral side yellow, markings almost invisible, except brown crescent patch on forewing apex; anterior part of postmedial line brown, punctuate; forewing with discal spot large and brown, posterodistal spot visible in some specimens, small and brown. Venation. Forewing: R 1 anastomosing with R 2-4 for a short distance in basal one third of areole, R 2 diverging before the apex of areole, M 1 stalked with lower margin of areole. Abdomen. Yellow, slender. Male genitalia. Uncus sclerotized, bifurcate, branches of uncus also bifurcate medially, with outer process long, curving outwards, inner process short, about one third length of outer forks, triangular and sharply pointed apically. Socii weakly sclerotized, broad and short. Dorsal part of gnathos broad, semicircular, hairy; ventral plate of gnathos trapezoid, with two digitiform processes. Valva long, arcuate, not reaching apex of uncus, terminal half gradually narrowing toward apex, bending upwards. Saccus slender and elongate, as long as uncus. Anellus strongly sclerotized, almost a long plate, basal part convex, with two broad basal branches. Aedeagus slender, sclerotized posteriorly, cornuti a patch of large spines. The eighth tergite quadrate, with posterior margin slightly concave; the eighth sternite bell-like, with posterior margin a little extended. Female genitalia. Ovipositor short, two oval processes near the ostium bursae. Apophyses posteriores slightly longer than apophyses anteriores. Ductus bursae sclerotized and long. Corpus bursae oval, membranous, with two scobinate spindle-shaped signa. Diagnosis. This new species belongs to the crocea species group, and is close to T. bifurcata in the similar ground colour, spots and patches on the wings. In the male genitalia, T. bicuspidata and T. bifurcata are distinctive in that each branch of the uncus divides into two parts, with the inner one shorter and the outer one longer. The inner process is broad and triangular in T. bicuspidata, but slender and spur-like in T. bifurcata, and the outer process is longer and curved outwards in the former but shorter and curved inwards in the latter. In addition, the ventral plate of the gnathos is trapezoid with two digitiform processes in T. bicuspidata but nearly butterfly-shaped with two broad processes in T. bifurcata. Material examined.
