            <p>Comments.</p>
            <p> Buobellenden was described from a single male collected from the northwestern Chinese province of Ningxia (Yin et al. 2009). The authors compared the type species  Buobellenden jingyuanensis with the Australian  Bellenden monteithi , and separated these two genera based on the aedeagal characters. However, the earlier published revision of  Bellenden by Kurbatov (2006) was not cited, in which three new  Bellenden species were described from the alpine regions in central China. Kurbatov in his work specifically discussed the morphological differences between the  Bellenden species from China and Australia, and concluded that creation of a new generic taxon for the Chinese  Bellenden species is unjustified. After a re-examination of the type material of  Buobellenden , we agree with  Kurbatov’s opinion, and here place  Buobellenden as a junior synonym of  Bellenden . </p>

            <p>Comments.</p>
            <p>This species can be separated from all congeners by the following combination of characters: 1) relative small body size (1.89 mm), 2) lateral margins of the frontal rostrum narrowing anteriorly, and roundly dilating laterally at the antennal bases, 3) unmodified protrochanter and metaventrite, and 4) unique structures of the aedeagal endophallus (Fig. 1D).</p>

Length of antenna 1.3 mm; antennomere I subcylindrical, more than three times as long as wide, slightly wider than antennomere II; antennomere II  about 1.5 times as long as wide; antennomeres  III–VIII of subequal width, slightly narrower than antennomere II, antennomeres  III–VII approximately twice as long as wide, antennomere VIII slightly shorter, and antennomere IX considerably wider than preceding segments, approximately as wide as antennomere II, but much longer, approximately twice as long as wide; antennomere X somewhat slightly wider than antennomere IX, antennomere XI shorter than antennomeres IX and X together, but  considerably wider than them, widest slightly before middle. Pronotum widest near middle, length along midline 0.48 mm, maximum width 0.38 mm; antebasal fovea small, puncture-like, lateral foveae larger. Elytra wider than long, length along suture 0.58 mm, maximum width 0.78 mm, covered with relatively dense long hairs along posterior margin; sutural and discal striae narrowed at base; sutural stria conspicuously deeper at base than discal stria; discal stria extending posteriorly to 3/4 elytral length. First tergite largest, widest near middle. Length of dorsally visible part of abdomen (posterior to elytra) along midline 0.82 mm, maximum width 0.92 mm; sternite IV (second visible sternite) slightly impressed medially. Aedeagus (Fig. 1C) slightly asymmetric dorso-ventrally, length 0.48 mm. </p>
            <p>Female, similar to male in general appearance; each eye composed of nine small facets. Measurements of body parts: body length 2.24 mm, length of head 0.44-0.46 mm, width of head 0.27-0.29 mm, length of antenna 1.19-1.20 mm, length of pronotum 0.43-0.44 mm, width of pronotum 0.38 mm, length of elytra 0.59-0.61 mm, width of elytra 0.77-0.80 mm, length of abdomen 0.75-0.76 mm, width of abdomen 0.87 mm.</p>
            <p>Comparative notes.</p>
            <p> Bellenden siguniang is similar to  Bellenden botellarius and  Bellenden jingyuanensis by sharing unmodified male protrochanter and metaventrite. The new species can be separated from  Bellenden botellarius by the lateral margins of the frontal rostrum before eyes gradually sloping anteriorly and then roundly dilating at antennal bases, and from  Bellenden jingyuanensis by the much large body size. The lateral margins of the frontal rostrum in  Bellenden botellarius are parallel-sided and barely dilated at antennal bases, and the body length of  Bellenden jingyuanensis measures only 1.89 mm.  Bellenden jingyuanensis similarly has the lateral margins of the frontal rostrum narrowing anteriorly, when combined with the structures of the aedeagal endophallus, it can be readily distinguished from  Bellenden botellarius . The other three species,  Bellenden monteithi ,  Bellenden belousovi and  Bellenden nubigena , all have spinose/protuberant protrochanter in the male, thus are easily separable from  Bellenden siguniang . Moreover, the aedeagal endophallus of  Bellenden siguniang has a pointed and curved apex, which alone can be used to discriminate the new species from all other congeners. </p>
            <p>Distribution.</p>
            <p>Southwestern China: Sichuan.</p>
            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p>The specific epithet is taken from the type locality of the new species, i.e., Siguniang Mountain.</p>
