Ponyalis klapperichi: Kazantsev 2002: 205; Li et al. 2015 a: 17.

Material examined.

China: 1 ♂ (IZAS), Fujian, Jianyang, Huangkeng, Aotou, 850–950 m, 29. IV. 1960, leg. F. J. Pu ; 1 ♀ (IZAS), Fujian, Chongan, Xingcun, Sangang, 720 m, 16. V. 1960, leg. F. J. Pu .

Differential diagnosis.

This species can be easily identified from the rest of the Ponyalis species by the combination of the following characters: pronotum uniformly black and elytra red (Fig. 6 A, B); male antennomere I flattened dorsally, III long-triangular, IV wide-triangular, lamellae of VI – X nearly parallel-sided along the whole length, lamella of VI 2 × longer than joint itself (Fig. 6 A); elytral primary costae as strong as the secondary ones, cells transverse (Fig. 6 A, B); phallus moderately widened at middle part and nearly straight at apical margin in dorsal and ventral views (Fig. 5 A, B).

Descriptive notes.

Male (Fig. 6 A). Antennae reaching apical 1 / 4 length of elytra when inclined, antennomere I nearly globular, III long-triangular, 1.4 × as long as wide, IV wide-triangular and nearly as long as wide, lamella of V extended along whole length of stem and tapered laterally, lamellae of VI – X nearly parallel-sided along the whole length, 2.1–4.1 × longer than the corresponding antennomere itself, XI nearly parallel-sided and 6.7 × as long as wide.

Aedeagus: phallus slender and 3.7 × as long as wide, moderately widened at middle part and arcuate at lateral margins, nearly straight at apical margin in dorsal and ventral views, with sharp latero-apical angels, between which the distance barely smaller than maximal width of trunk (Fig. 5 A, B), almost even in width and weakly bent dorsally, truncate at ventro-apical 1 / 4 in lateral view (Fig. 5 C).

Female (Fig. 6 B). Similar to male, but body stouter, antennae shorter and reaching elytral mid-length when inclined, antennomeres III – V all nearly triangular, lamellae of VI – X 1.1–1.5 × longer than the corresponding antennomere itself, XI fusiform and 3.2 × as long as wide.
