Greyish-black, shagreened; antennae and claws reddish brown. Body elongate, length 20.6–23.2 mm, width 7.5–8.3 mm, strongly convex. Head ( Fig. 39E, J) with slightly smaller eyes, frontoclypeal suture less deeply U-shaped, width-length ratio of clypeus about 2.00; OI = 51.6–51.9. Antennae ( Fig. 40D) slender, reaching basal third of elytra, with antennomeres weakly thickened to apices; relative lengths of antennomeres: 0.68: 0.34: 1.19: 1.10: 1.24: 1.28: 1.28: 1.19: 1.09: 1.02: 1.09. Pronotum ( Fig. 39L) barrel-shaped, usually broader, sometimes nearly rounded, PW/PL = PW/PL = 1.21–1.23, lateral marginal borders thiner, visible in dorsal view along anterior third. Elytra elongate oval, EL/EW = 1.83–1.89. Protibiae ( Fig. 40S) more markedly curved, pubescent of inner margins more developed and denser.   FIGURE 40.External characters of  Morphostenophanesspecies in the  elegantulus-group:  M. gaoligongensisZhou  new species( A, H–L),  M. sinicusZhou  new species( B, G, M–O),  M. furvusZhou  new species( C, E, F, P–R),  M. furvus weishanusZhou new subspecies( D, S–U).

Male protibiae in dorsal view ( J, M, P, S), mesotibiae in ventral view ( K, N, Q, T), and metatibiae in dorsal view ( L, O, R, U). Scale bars of A–G= 2 mm; H, I not to scale, J–U = 1 mm. Female ( Fig. 38B, D) distinctly stouter, length 19.4–23.3 mm. Distance between eyes wider, OI = 53.8–54.3, PW/PL = 1.18–1.26; elytra more convex, EL/EW = 1.60–1.64.   Variation.Some males have more roundly produced pronotal lateral margins; male spicula gastrale occasionally curving dorsally ( Fig. 41J).  Comparative notes.  Morphostenophanes furvus weishanuscan be easily distinguished from the nominate subspecies by its much broader and more rounded male pronotum, and stouter female elytra.   Distribution.( Map 1) CHINA: Yunnan.   Etymology.The new subspecies is named after the locality the typeseries collected from, Weishan County. 2610567534 2017-07-07 SNUC China Weishan County 2515 Mount Weibao Dali Prefecture 61 62 1 1 Yunnan holotype 2610567447 [199,716,1837,1864] China Yunnan 61 62 23 14 9 Yunnan paratype 2610567408 [730,870,1838,1864] SNUC China 61 62 1 1 Yunnan paratype 2610567568 [883,1076,1838,1864] CZDY China 61 62 2 1 1 Yunnan paratype 2610567339 2017-07-07 CBWX, CZDY China Weishan County 2515 Mount Weibao Dali Prefecture 61 62 12 9 3 Yunnan paratype 2610567589 [722,963,1909,1936] CBWX China 61 62 7 2 5 Yunnan paratype 2610567396 2015-08-16 2015-08-18 2015-08-16 China Weishan County 2450 Mount Weibao Dali Prefecture 61 62 1 Yunnan paratype 2610567507 CZDY China Weishan County 25.333242 Ma'anshan Country 1 100.05386 Dali Prefecture 61 62 1 1 Yunnan paratype
