Spiracles raised, annular-biforous. Type locality. China, Guangxi Province, Debao County, Fuping village, N 23 ° 29.624 ', E 106 ° 12.980 '. Range.

Named for the county of collection. Remarks. The only known host of this beetle is Cycas debaoensis. This cycad occurs in small, relict populations (Tang et al. 2004; Xie et al. 2005) and this beetle species has only been collected from the male cones of this host at two localities. Determination and description of larvae were based on large numbers found associated with adults in C. debaoensis male cones and partial 16 S rRNA gene sequences which were identical to the adults. Field observations of the larvae indicate they feed and develop on the male cones of this species in large numbers, feeding on sporophyll tissue. The adults remain on the male cones by the hundreds and dissection of adults confirm cycad pollen in their guts. They typically account for the highest percentage of adult Cycadophila beetles on male cones sampled in the early stage of cone elongation and pollen shed (range 57.6–89.3 %, mean = 79.8 %, n = 5 cones), but their abundance drops in cones that have nearly completed pollen shedding (range 0–55.6 %, mean = 13.6 %, n = 7 cones). Adults of other species of Cycadophila of the “XB” type (Tang et al. 1999) and identified as C. nigra and C. yunnanensis (see below) occur sympatrically within the same cones of C. debaoensis, these being more abundant on male cones that have nearly completed pollen shedding (range = 41.1–100 %, mean = 80.7 %, n = 7 cones). Larvae of the XB type have not been detected in these cones.Published as part of Xu, Guang, Tang, William, Skelley, Paul, Liu, Nian & Rich, Stephen, 2015, Cycadophila, a new genus (Coleoptera: Erotylidae: Pharaxonothinae) inhabiting Cycas debaoensis (Cycadaceae) in Asia, pp. 251-278 in Zootaxa 3986 (3) on pages 257-262, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3986.3.1, http://zenodo.org/record/24031
Tang Code, Tang Rite, and Other Manuscripts of Tang Dynasty
No full textIn the present paper, the author gives the preliminary reports on three newly found Tang 唐 official documents, pointing out their important value, and offering the all texts for further studies.1. In Tunhuang and Turfan Documents concerning Social and Economic History I. Legal Texts (Tokyo 1978-1980), Professors T. Yamamoto, O. Ikeda, and M. Okano published the joined texts of O. 5098 and O. 8099 from Otani collection. They identified the fragments with the Section on Violence and Robbery of the Tang Code (唐律), and pointed out the article comes from the Yonghui 永徽 or Chuigong 垂拱 Code according to the Zetian 則天 characters used in the Buddhist text on the verso. The author joins another fragment based on an old photograph of the Turfan document preserved in the Lüshun Museum (旅順博物館). The new text contains one different article from the printed text after the Song 宋 dynasty.2. Among the Dunhuang 敦煌 manuscripts in the National Library of China in Beijing, there is a good copy of the Tang Rite (唐礼) in high Tang characters (No. zhou 周 70A). It contains the text corresponding to the Da Tang Kaiyuan li 大唐開元礼, vol. 37: “Huangdi shixiang yu Taimiao 皇帝時享於太廟”. It is the first time to find the book in Dunhuang or Turfan manuscripts.3. In his Dunhuang Turfan Tangdai fazhi wenshu kaoshi 敦煌吐魯番唐代法制文書考釈, Liu Junwen thought the document of zhou 51 should be the Regulations of the Regional Military Organization. But the form of the original document could not conform to the Tang Regulations, so the author refutes his view and thinks that it is an official document relating to the beacon of the military fortress in the area of Dunhuang or Turfan.journal articl
