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.

X-ray and electron diffraction studies of superlattices and long-range three-dimensional Na ordering in γ-NaxCoO2 (x=0.71 and 0.84)
No full textWe have recently demonstrated that x=0.71 and 0.84 are the two most stable single-phase compounds above x=0.5 in gamma-Na[subscript x]CoO[subscript 2] [G. J. Shu et al., Phys. Rev. B 76, 184115 (2007); F. C. Chou et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 127404 (2008)], and this structural investigation was performed on the single crystals and pulverized samples elaborately synthesized therein. Using the complementary techniques of x-ray and electron diffractions, we unambiguously established the existence of superlattices in x=0.71 and 0.84, sqrt12a[subscript p]×sqrt12a[subscript p]×3c[subscript p], and sqrt13a[subscript p]×sqrt13a[subscript p]×3c[subscript p] (a[subscript p] and c[subscript p] the hexagonal primitive cell parameters), respectively. The exceptionally large superlattice for x=0.71 arises from the long-range three-dimensional sodium ordering, consisting of the spiral-like sodium-trimer chain screwing along c axis and being decorated with alternating truncated-triangle and honeycomb sodium sublattices in ab plane. The trimers in the neighboring sodium planes show corner-shared-like characteristics along the chain direction. A larger interplane separation of the trimers that was expected to minimize the trimer interlayer Coulomb repulsion was, however, not observed, and all Co ions in the superlattice show similar charge characteristics. In x=0.84, the large superlattice is rather a result of the long-range ordering of sodium monomers both in ab plane and along c axis. The differences in the superlattice structure and the corresponding long-range sodium ordering between x=0.71 and 0.84 may provide the critical information in understanding their distinctly different physical properties from structural aspects.National Science Council of the Republic of ChinaNational Taiwan University Excellence Projec
