Remarks.

Leptomias wenchuanensis is an endemic species of China and recorded from Sichuan (Wenchuan, Maerkang). It is narrowly distributed in the North Central region of Sichuan (Fig. 24). L. wenchuanensis and L. globosus are both distributed in Maerkang County, north central Sichuan. L. wenchuanensis is different from L. globosus by the following characters: protibiae strongly bent inwards at apical; inner margin of pro-, meso- and metatibiae with large teeth; prementum with two setae; pronotum strongly convex, with two foveae on either side of median longitudinal groove.
