Lathrobium seriatum Sharp 1889: 259 ; preoccupied.
Pseudolathra lineata Herman 2003: 7 ; replacent name.
Type material examined:
Lectotype ♂ [dissected prior to present study], present designation: “ Lathrobium seriatum . Type D.S. Yokohama, Lewis [written on mounting label] / Japan. G. Lewis. / Type / Sharp Coll 1905- 313. / Aedeagus at rest turned to 180° in abdomen / Pseudolathra seriata (Sharp) ♂, V.I. Gusarov
det. 1992 / Lectotypus ♂ Lathrobium seriatum Sharp , desig. V. Assing 2012 / Pseudolathra lineata Herman , det. V. Assing 2012” ( BMNH).
Additional material examined:
China: 3 ♂♂, Jiangsu, Nanjing, Agricultural University , VII.1991, leg. Cooter ( MMUM, cAss) .
Comment:
The original description of L. seriatum is based on “two examples” from “Yokohama” ( Sharp 1889). The name is a junior primary homonym and was replaced with the nomen novum Pseudolathra lineata by Herman (2003). The above type specimen, a male in good condition, is designated as the lectotype.
Redescription:
Body length 4.9-5.8 mm; length of forebody 2.9-3.1 mm. Habitus as in Fig. 15. Coloration: head blackish-brown; pronotum and elytra reddish, with the postero-lateral portion of the elytra more or less extensively infuscate; abdomen dark-reddish; legs and antennae reddishyellow.
Head ( Fig. 16) approximately as broad as long; punctation coarse and sparse, in median dorsal portion very sparse; interstices without microsculpture, but with micropunctation, and glossy. Eyes large, longer than postocular region in dorsal view. Antennae slender, 1.9 mm long; all antennomeres oblong.
Pronotum ( Fig. 16) approximately 1.15 times as long as broad and approximately 1.05 times as broad as head; on either side of the impunctate midline with series of approximately 15 punctures, these punctures partly accompanied by additional punctures; punctation of lateral portions unevenly distributed; interstices without microsculpture.
Elytra ( Fig. 16) 1.0-1.1 times as long as pronotum; laterally with fine submarginal carina; punctation moderately coarse, arranged in several series; interstices without microsculpture. Hind wings fully developed.
Abdomen distinctly narrower than elytra; punctation very fine and dense; interstices with microsculpture; posterior margin of tergite VII with palisade fringe.
♂: protarsomeres I-IV strongly dilated; sternite VII with almost truncate posterior margin, pubescence unmodified; sternite VIII oblong, posterior excision narrow and deep, almost reaching middle of sternite ( Fig. 17); aedeagus 0.9 mm long, shaped as in Figs 18-19.
♀: not available.
Distribution:
Pseudolathra lineata was previously known only from Japan. The above specimens from Jiangsu ( Map 1) represent the first record from China. They were collected in the same locality as P. regularis .
