Descriptive notes.

Male (Fig. 3D View Figure 3 ). Antennae (Fig. 5D View Figure 5 ) flabellate, overlapping half-length of elytra when inclined. Antennomere II transverse; III-XI lamellate, antennomere III with lamella nearly as long as joint itself, and lamella of IX longest, 3.2 times longer than joint itself. - Aedeagus: median lobe moderately curved near middle in lateral view, at an angle of ca. 150° between basal and apical parts of dorsal side, moderately arcuate at base part, subapical part slightly inflated dorsally (Figs 7C View Figure 7 , 8A View Figure 8 ); moderately curved at basal part in ventral view, subapical part moderately inflated laterally (Figs 7B View Figure 7 , 8B View Figure 8 ), with a fusiform ventral cavity (Fig. 7B View Figure 7 ); apical part gradually narrowed distad (Fig. 7A, B, D View Figure 7 ), with a deep V-shaped notch at apex (Fig. 7A, D View Figure 7 ).

Remark.

In terms of the special structure at the apex of the median lobe (Fig. 7D, E View Figure 7 ), we suggest placing this species into the M. dotatus species group.

Distribution.

China (Jilin, Heilongjiang, Liaoning), Japan, South Korea, Russia.
