Type material
Holotype CHINA • ♂; “CHINA, Yunnan, S Pungchuan, 1.65 km E Mahuacun Vill. 2835 m, 2.vi.2019 Belousov, Davidian & Kabak leg. // 25°54′26″N 100°46′35″E ”; ZIN. GoogleMaps
Description
MEASUREMENTS. Holotype, total body length 4.7 mm; head 0.95 mm long, across eyes 0.85 mm broad, pronotum 1.1 mm long, maximum width 0.85 mm, minimum width 0.4 mm, elytra 2.65 mm long, 1.8 mm combined wide.
Dorsum and venter uniformly brown, pronotum inconspicuously paler. Mouthparts, antennae, palps and legs yellowish-brown. Head ovoid with moderately large, ovoid compound eyes, which are not protruding beyond head outline laterally. Head rounded in broad arc posterior to eyes. Head dorsal punctures minute and inconspicuous. Head dorsal setae inconspicuous, sparse. Antennae extending slightly over base of pronotum. Antennomere three about 1.25× as long as antennomere two, antennomeres 7–10 transverse, of them 8–10 strongly transverse. Terminal antennomere triangular with pointed apex, twice as long as penultimate antennomere. Terminal maxillary palpomere securiform. Pronotum with broad and medially deeply notched postmedian lateral constriction. Front margin of anterior lobe broadly rounded, dorsally without anterior rim ( Fig. 18B View Fig ). Anterior and posterior lobe convex in lateral view ( Fig. 18C View Fig ). Lateral constriction continues onto disc in lateral view, shallow ( Fig. 18C View Fig ). Lateral pronotal fovea rather narrow at lower external margin of pronotum, widens upwards towards pronotal disc in lateral view, external margins protruding into a pair of subacute (in lateral view), glabrous, narrowly separated denticles (in lateral view). Cavity in lateral wall of pronotum between lateral denticles small, elliptical. In dorsal view, lateral pronotal fovea broad, anterior and posterior pair of denticles appear obtusely angulate, glabrous ( Fig. 18B View Fig ). Pronotal punctures minute on disc; lateral constriction dorsally with numerous dense, variably sized punctures. Dorsal pronotal setae inconspicuous, moderately long. Scutellar shield minute, triangular. Elytra dorsally elliptical, convex in lateral view, strongly widened laterally around midlength, lateral margins evenly broadly rounded, shoulders obsolete (apterous species). Elytral punctures much stronger and larger than those on dorsal forebody, becoming less prominent on posterior third of elytra. Elytral setae long and sparse, suberect. Male tergite and morphological sternite VII broadly rounded at posterior margin. Aedeagus as in Fig. 19 View Fig , short, broadly hook-shaped, with peculiar gonopore armature. Basale with a broad multi-row ‘garland’ of pebble-like constituting pieces. Gonopore armature of apicale of very dense, irregularly shaped and positioned constituting pieces.
