Dahan-shan, Chunrih Township, Pingtung County, Taiwan. Diagnosis. This species is easily distinguishable from the other Taiwanese congeners by having piceous elytra. The species is very similar to A. sauteri, but differs in the following characteristics: posterior margin of pygidium and 8 th sternite emarginate at middle; spicular apodeme connected with spicular plates; phallobasic apodeme weakly dilated apically and incised at the apex; ventral phallobasic plates well sclerotized. Description. Male (n = 11, Figs 1 D– 1 F): Head, antennomeres, pronotum, legs and abdomen yellowish orange; apical parts of mandibles black. Elytra metallic piceus. Head clothed with yellowish suberect setae on the area from frons to vertex and brownish setae on occiput; pronotal disk with yellowish and brownish suberect setae; elytra clothed with black suberect setae, mingled with yellowish setae near humeri; abdomen sparsely set with yellow suberect setae. Maxillary palpi with the last segment short, nearly triangular, obliquely truncate at apex. Antennomeres 4 to 8 weakly serrate, gradually becoming shorter apically; 9 th and 10 th serrate, as wide as long. Pronotum 1.3–1.5 (1.4) times as wide as long. Elytra oblong, weakly convex dorsally, 1.1–1.5 (1.4) times as long as wide, widest near middle, sparsely set with setigerous punctures throughout. Pygidium (Fig. 4 H) with posterior margin emarginate at middle. Eighth sternite (Fig. 4 I) semicircular; posterior margin faintly emarginate. Spicular fork (Fig. 4 J) with elongate intraspicular plate; spicular lobes weakly colored and almost membranous; spicular apodeme 1 / 2 as long as the total length of spicular fork. Aedeagus in fully inflated condition (Figs 6 C– 6 D) orthogonally curved ventrally at the base of CM in lateral view; CM cylindrically swollen, slightly dilated basally, thence constricted at base; phallus cylindrically swollen. Tegmen (Figs 4 K– 4 L) with phallobase oblong, nearly half length of tegmen, roundly pointed at apex; phallobasic apodeme in ventral view elongate, slightly dilated apically from apical 1 / 3 and incised at apex, almost straight in lateral view; ventral phallobasic plates well sclerotized; phallobasic struts divaricated from apical 1 / 3. Phallus (Figs 4 M– 4 N) longer than tegmen, slightly sinuous in lateral view; phallic plates uncinate at apex, densely with bi- or tridentate denticles from apical 1 / 4 to subapices of ventral margins. Female (n = 9): Similar to male, but the apical margin of 7 th sternite slightly and triangularly incised at middle. Pygidium with posterior margins (Fig. 7 C) roundly projected posteriorly; pygidial struts elongate. Eighth sternite (Fig. 7 D) with apical margin roundly projected posteriorly. Pronotum 1.3–1.6 (1.4) times as wide as long. Elytra 1.3–1.5 (1.4) times as long as wide. Measurements. Male (n = 11): BL 6.3–8.4 (7.2) mm, PL 1.4 –2.0 (1.7) mm, PW 2.0– 2.7 (2.3) mm, EW 3.2– 4.1 (3.6) mm, EL 4.2–5.9 (4.9) mm. Female (n = 9): BL 6.5–8.2 (7.5) mm, PL 1.5 –2.0 (1.8) mm, PW 2.1–2.7 (2.5) mm, EW 3.0– 4.1 (3.7) mm, EL 4.4–5.5 (5.0) mm. Etymology. The specific name is derived from the piceous elytra. Distribution. Taiwan (Taoyuan, Hsinchu, Yilan, Nantou, Hualien, Kaohsiung, Taitung, Pingtung).Published as part of Murakami, Hiroyuki, Yamasako, Junsuke, Chou, Wen-I & Yang, Ganyan, 2013, Review of the genus Allochotes (Coleoptera: Cleridae: Neorthopleurinae) from Taiwan, pp. 565-577 in Zootaxa 3710 (6) on pages 568-569, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3710.6.3, http://zenodo.org/record/21692

    On Ch'êng-Chou, the Metropolis of Chou

    Full text link
    There have been two conflicting opinions concerning the relationship between Ch’êng-chou 成周 and Wang-ch’êng 王城, which allegedly both were the capitals of Chou China. One opinion says that they were situated at two different places, identifying Ch’êng-chou with Old Lo-yang 故洛陽 and Wang-ch’êng with Ho-nan 河南 of the Latter Han times; while the other maintains that both names were two different designations of the same city, Wang-ch’êng being applied to the royal quarter within Ch’êng-chou. Since the latter Han most scholars held the former view, which is supported also by modern Chinese archaeologists writing about recent investigation on the ruins of Wang-ch’êng. Mr. CH’ÊN, another Chinese scholar who studied bronze inscriptions of Western Chou period, adopts the same view in his writings. The latter theory of identifying the two names has been adhered to by a few scholars of Sung times and afterward.After carefully examining the two opinions, as well as the data found in archaeological reports and bronze inscriptions, the present writer has arrived at the following conclusions: (l) Ch’êng-Chou comprised Lo-i 洛邑 built by the Duke of Chou and where the royal palace was, and its neighborhood extending up to Mt. Mang-shan 邙山 in the north and the Lo River 洛水 in the south, including both the eastern and western banks of the Ch’ien River 壥水; (2) during the Ch’un-ch’iu period, the name Ch’êng-Chou came to mean the place whereOld Lo-yang was to be situated later, on the eastern banks of Ch’ien River, opposite to Wang-ch’êng on the western; (3) Such evolution of Old Lo-yang was one of the examples of the development of new commercial cities which appeared in ancient China since the middle part of the Ch’un-ch’iu period; (4) Ch’êng-chou, of which building is mentioned in Tso-chuan under the 32nd year of Chao-kung (510 B. C.), was this newly-developed city, Old Lo-yang, and was no longer the territory referred to under the same name at the beginning of western Chou period.journal articl

    [[alternative]]The Study of Rewards Written on The Western Chou Bronze Inscription: Explanation of Utensils And Person's Social Status

    No full text
    [[abstract]]The content of this study is focus on the explanation of the rewards , utensils and person’s social status written in Western Chou Bronze inscription. In this study, rewards in Western Chou(11th century B C ~771 B C ) can be divided into two categories: receiving the rewards by adoption and receiving the rewards without adoption. By the comparison of utensils and person’s social status, the difference between these two categories can be identified. Receiving the rewards by adoption will be the main concerns in this study because there are complete regulations to explain the way to receive rewards by adoption. The relationship of ruler-subject, feudalism and adaptation、honored with nobility and serviced as officers was all constructed by the regulation of investiture. Therefore, person's social status can be identified by way of investiture. This also can be mentioned as the main base of political execution in Western Chou. The two essential elements in the system of adoption are utensils and person’s social status. These two factors are the key elements to identify the relationships between an object and person and also the assistant to build up the political system of Western Chou. Therefore, there are more following discussion about stratum of officers, dress, carriages and horses, and the flag for identification of noble in detail. There are five chapters in this study. Introduction is in chapter one. The theoretical reviews of bequeathed ancient works and excavated bronze inscription are in chapter two. The clarification of rewards and the period and grade of these rewards are is chapter three. The identification of person’s social status and the explanation of the arrangement between person’s social status and rewards are in chapter four. The final conclusion is in chapter five.
