Measurements (in mm) and ratios: BL 3.04–3.29; FL 2.36–2.48; HL 0.47–0.50; HW 0.59–0.62; PL 0.56–0.59; PW 0.65–0.68; EL 1.27–1.33; EW 1.18–1.21; HL/HW 0.75–0.79; PL/PW 0.86–0.90; EL/EW 1.07–1.11; HW/PW 0.90–0.95; PL/EL 0.44–0.46; AnL 1.39–1.42; AeL 0.46–0.50. Habitus as in Fig. 2B. Reddish brown, head usually darker, blackish brown; mouthparts fuscous brown; antennae yellowish brown; elytra with small subtriangular yellow maculae near middle; legs reddish brown, except of paler apex of tibiae and tarsi. Pubescence of body pale, evident and recumbent. Head subtriangular, coarsely and sparsely punctate, widest across eyes; eyes prominent, 1.86 times longer than temples; ocelli distinct, distance between ocelli 1.75 times as long as distance between ocellus and posterior margin of eye. Antennae elongate, relative lengths of the antennomeres I–XI: 1.54: 1: 1: 1: 1: 1: 1.15: 1.15: 1.15: 1.15: 1.77. Pronotum subcordate, moderately convex, widest near anterior third; lateral margins arcuate at anterior twothirds and nearly straight at posterior third; punctation and pubescence as that on head; disc with shallow U-shaped depression. Scutellum subtriangular, surface with fine punctation and pubescence. Elytra subtrapezoidal, gradually dilated posteriorly, posterior angles broadly rounded; punctation and pubescence distinctly finer and sparser than those on pronotum. Abdomen broad, widest at segment IV (first visible abdominal segment), then distinctly narrowed posteriorly. Tergites with dense, fine punctation and decumbent pubescence, devoid of microsculpture; middle of the tergites IV and V with one pair of tomentose patches, but patches on tergite V smaller and less transverse. Male. Apical margin of the tergite VIII (Fig. 3G) broadly concave; sternite VIII (Fig. 3H) transverse, apical margin weakly concave; median lobe of the aedeagus (Figs 5 D–F) slightly longer than parameres; parameres somewhat asymmetrical, each slightly narrowed in anterior half, with three long apical setae; internal sac without sclerotized spines and without distinct dark membranous structures. Female. Abdominal sternite VIII without concavity apically. In other morphological characters similar with males. Comparative notes. Lesteva concava is closest to L. cooteri Rougemont in sharing similar body size, and punctation and pubescence of the head and pronotum. These two species can be readily separated by the different coloration of the body, and especially the narrower aedeagus with longer median lobe and narrower and longer parameres in L. concava. For illustrations of L. cooteri see Figs 6A, 8 A–B, 9A–C and Rougemont (2000: figs 1, 13). Distribution and nature history. China: Anhui, Zhejiang (Fig. 24). Some specimens were sifted from leaf litter near a stream in mixed deciduous forests at Mt. Tianzhu, Anhui. Etymology. The new specific epithet refers to the broadly concave apical margin of the male tergite VIII.Published as part of Cheng, Zhi-Fei, Li, Li-Zhen & Peng, Zhong, 2019, New species and new records of Lesteva Latreille, 1797 (Coleoptera Staphylinidae: Omaliinae) from China, pp. 1-39 in Zootaxa 4560 (1) on pages 5-9, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4560.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/262725

Unknown. Comparative notes. Based on the coloration of the body, punctation and pubescence of the head and pronotum and shape of the median lobe of the aedeagus, the new species is most similar to L. qinlingmontis Rougemont (Shaanxi: Qinling Shan), from which it can be distinguished by a shallow U-shaped impression on the disc of the pronotum, shapes of the elytra and slender parameres. For illustrations of L. qinlingmontis see Rougemont. (2017: 3, 3a). Distribution and natural history. The type locality is situated in Mt. East Dabashan to the Chengkou County, northern Chongqing, near Shaanxi Province (Fig. 34). The specimen was sifted from leaf litter near a stream in mixed deciduous forests at an altitude of 2039 m. Etymology. The specific epithet ‘ obesa ’ mean ‘obese’, referring to the morphology of the body in the male of the new species.Published as part of Cheng, Zhi-Fei, Li, Li-Zhen & Peng, Zhong, 2019, New species and new records of Lesteva Latreille, 1797 (Coleoptera Staphylinidae: Omaliinae) from China, pp. 1-39 in Zootaxa 4560 (1) on pages 19-20, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4560.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/262725

Type species: <i>Reticuluma citrana</i> Cheng & Li, 2005.</p> <p> <b>Redescription:</b> Body flat, sloped anterad from the middle of pronotum. Covered with black or brown reticulation. Crown slightly narrower than pronotum; coronal suture length about 3/5 of crown; ocelli located on crown, closer to eyes than to each other. Postclypeus slightly convex, anteclypeus flat and truncate at apex. Pronotum length 1.5 times medial length of crown, anterior margin convex, posterior margin transverse. Scutellum basal width longer than medial length. Forewing elongate, with many false veins consisting of dark pigment lines; crossvein present between claval veins, some species with short setae on subcostal vein; appendix developed.</p> <p>Pygophore longer than high, posterior margin rounded with a short apical process. Valve triangular. Subgenital plate extending beyond apex of pygofer, nearly triangular. Connective ‘Y’ shaped; stem slightly longer than anterior arms. Style with developed preapical lobe, apical fingerlike, curved laterally; preapical lobe with several setae near inner margin. Aedeagal shaft with pair of preapical processes.</p> <p> <b>Remarks.</b> Examination of specimens of species previously included in <i>Reticuluma</i> Cheng & Li revealed that this genus, as previously defined, is very similar to <i>Chanohirata</i> in overall body size, structure, coloration and male genitalia. However, the male pygofer of the type species of <i>Reticuluma</i> differs from other species included in the genus in having an obvious process on the lateroapical margin. Hence, we restrict the definition of <i>Reticuluma</i> to include only the type species and transfer all other species previously included in <i>Reticuluma</i> to <i>Chanohirata</i>: <i>C. bipennata</i> (Xu, Yu, Dai & Yang) <b>comb. nov.</b>, <i>C. dactyla</i> (Fu & Zhang) <b>comb. nov.</b>, <i>C. eurya</i> (Fu & Zhang) <b>comb. nov.</b>, <i>C. hamata</i> (Wang & Zhang) <b>comb. nov.</b>, <i>C. lini</i> (Cheng & Li) <b>comb. nov.</b>, <i>C. lageniformia</i> (Wang & Zhang) <b>comb. nov.</b> and <i>C. spinata</i> (Cheng & Li) <b>comb. nov.</b>, <i>Reticuluma testacea</i> (Kuoh, 1991) <b>syn. nov.</b> of <i>C. theae</i> (Matsumura, 1912).</p>Published as part of <i>Wang, Dongming & Zhang, Yalin, 2022, Three new species in the genus Chanohirata (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae: Penthimiini) from China, pp. 432-441 in Zootaxa 5129 (3)</i> on page 433, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5129.3.7, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/6501286">http://zenodo.org/record/6501286</a>
