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

Figs 37–39 Type material: Holotype: ♂, China : Hainan: Wuzhishan Mountains, Shuiman Township (N18º53.024', E109º39.804', alt. 638 m), 11 April 2009, G. Tang (IZCAS, Tang _ No. 147). Paratype: 1 ♀, same data as holotype (IZCAS, Tang _ No. 147). Etymology. The specific name is a patronym in honor of Prof. Wei Liang (Hainan Normal University), who supported our field work in Hainan Province. Diagnosis. The male is similar to P. zhengi Tang & Li, 2009, but can be separated by the comparatively small RTA and presence of scopulae only in distal part of cymbial dorsum (cymbium dorsum with scopulae in P. zhengi). The male is also similar to P. leguminaceus Tang & Li, 2009, but can be separated by the RTA shape. The female can be easily separated from P. zhengi and P. leguminaceus by the absence of anteriorly situated cavity and median septum in epigynum. Description.

Opithosomal dorsum with grayish black markings. Venter grayish white. Palp (Figs. 37 B–D, 39 A–B): VTA blunt lamellar, combined with RTA basally, RTA long lanciform, distal part of cymbial dorsum with short scopulae. Bulb with an ear-shaped median apophysis, conductor membranous, embolus digitiform, curved. Female (measurements of paratype): Total length 7.10. Prosoma 3.40 long, 3.70 wide; Opisthosoma 4.00 long, 3.60 wide. Eye measurements: AME 0.10; ALE 0.22; PME 0.13; PLE 0.18; AME–AME 0.24; AME– ALE 0.18; PME–PME 0.34; PME–PLE 0.40.
