A new species and new data on distribution of the shore bugs of China (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Saldidae)

Rupisalda austrosinica sp. nov. is described from Guangdong and Yunnan provinces of China. The new species is closely related to Rupisalda thailandana (Cobben, 1985). The remaining Oriental species previously included in the 'Saldula fletcheri' group sensu COBBEN (1986) are transferred here to Rupisalda: R. championi (Drake, 1954) comb. nov., R. edita (Drake & Hoberlandt, 1951) comb. nov., R. fletcheri (Distant, 1909) comb. nov., and R. pusana (Distant, 1909) comb. nov. The male genitalia and 5th instar nymph of Calacanthia grandis Cobben, 1985 are described and illustrated for the first time. The following species are recorded for the first time for some regions of China: Chiloxanthus kozlovi (Kiritshenko, 1912) from Gansu Province, Micracanthia ornatula (Reuter, 1881) from Jiangsu Province, Saldula fucicola (J. Sahlberg, 1878) from Qinghai and Sichuan Provinces, Saldula recticollis (Horvath, 1899) from Guangxi Autonomous Region and Guangdong Province, and Saldula saltatoria (Linnaeus, 1758) from Qinghai Province.
