24. Lemula (s. str.) lata lata Holzschuh, 2009

(Figs. XI-24, XIV-24, XVI-19)

Diagnosis. Male: BL = 7.6–7.7 mm. Body bright reddish brown; antennomere I yellowish brown, II– IV dark brown, V-XI black; elytra metallic dark yellowish green. Ventral surface including abdominal ventrites entirely reddish brown. Head with labrum and clypeus. short pale hairs; pronotum very sparsely covered with short fine yellowish hairs; elytra moderately furnished with suberect black hairs which are slightly longer than space between punctures.

Head and pronotum sparsely covered with fine punctures; antennae long, reaching apical fourth of elytra.

Pronotum distinctly shorter than width across lateral tubercles (PL/PW = 0.87); strongly constricted at apical fourth with an obtuse tubercle at middle of each side; disk moderately convex with indistinct median longitudinal impression.

Elytra shorter than twice humeral width (EL/EW = 1.75); disk moderately covered with fine punctures.

Endophallus (Type C). Similar to L. gorodinskii in general structure without obvious differences.

Female: BL = 7.5–9.1 mm, EL/EW = 1.75. Similar to male in general appearance, but antennae little shorter.

Type material examined. Lemula lata Holzschuh, 2009 : Holotype ♂ ( CCH), “ CHINA, W Henan / Funiu Shan, BAOTIANMAN / 33.5°N 111.9°E, 15,- 17. V. / leg. J. Turna, 2005”, “ HOLOTYPUS / Lemula lata n. sp. / det. C. Holzschuh 2009 ”.

Other material examined. [ China]: Baotianman (1ξ曼), E. Funiu Shan, West Henan [1♂, 2♀♀ (paratype), 33.5°N 111.9°E, 15–17-V-2005, J. Turna leg. (G-1096) ( CCH)] .

Distribution. China (Henan).

Ecology. Flight period: May.

Remarks. This species looks very similar to L. (s. str.) gorodinskii henanica in appearance, but can be distinguished from it by much darker antennal color, entirely yellow abdominal ventrites of male, shorter elytra (EL/EW = 1.75 instead of 1.96) and distinctly wider pronotum (PL/PW = 0.87 instead of 0.98).
