Apex deepfocus7/1/2023 ![]() ![]() (Fig.3A) 3A) compressed, surface coarsely granulated, length/width = 1.03, narrower than pronotum. Abdomen covered with fulvous setae, lateral margins with some erected brown setae. Variations of pubescence is shown in Fig. (Fig.1E), 1E), except for a hairless area around the anterior margin forming a black semicircular ring a number of irregularly scattered small spots of fulvous setae forming three or four short longitudinal fasciae contiguous at base and much denser and contiguous after the discal spot. Elytra mostly covered with very faint brown setae a contrasting large spot on the middle constituted of pale grayish setae (Fig. Pronotum with middle line flanked by two ill-defined longitudinal fasciae of fulvous setae and each pronotal side with another one. Dorsal surface of scape, pedicel and antennomere III with fulvous setae, following antennomeres with very faint fulvous setae apical parts of the antennomeres III–X and middle part of the antennomere XI with very faint brown setae, making alternant contrasting colors on these antennomeres ventral surface of scape, pedicel and antennomeres III–IV fringed with long, brown setae, but distinctly less dense on the antennomere IV. Head covered with fulvous setae, forming four small spots at posterior margin of the occiput. Body length/elytral width = 3.50 antenna length/body length = 2.49. Size relatively large, body length 16.22–30.20 mm, humeral width 4.48–8.72 mm. (CCZC) 1♂, same data as holotype except 25.VI.2016, Chao Zhou, Bin Liu & Li He leg.

NMPC Národní museum, Prague, Czech Republic The material examined for this study is deposited in the following collections and museums:īITS Bin Insect Taxonomy Studio, Beijing, ChinaĬCWI Collection of Wen-I Chou, Taitung, Taiwan, ChinaĬCZC Collection of Chao Zhou, Chengdu, Sichuan, ChinaĬJYT Collection of Junsuke Yamasako, Tokyo, JapanĬLHC Collection of Li He, Chengdu, Sichuan, China Relevant morphological characters are illustrated with colour plates and a differential diagnosis of the new species from its relatives is provided. Measurements are averaged over five specimens. Adobe Photoshop® CS6 was used for post processing. The final deep focus images were created with Helicon Focus 5.3 or Zerene Stacker 1.04 stacking softwares. Observations, photographs and measurements of morphological details were performed using a Zeiss Axio Zoom V16 motorized stereo zoom microscope (magnification up to ×270) with a Zeiss AxioCam MRc 5. Habitus photographs were taken using a Canon 50D DSLR with EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM lens. After examination, the body parts were mounted on plastic slips with gum arabic for future studies. The softened specimens were moved into glycerin and dissected there to observe morphological details. Specimens were relaxed and softened in a hot saturated solution of potassium hydroxide for three minutes, and then transferred into distilled water to rinse the residual potassium hydroxide off and stop any further bleaching. ![]()
