Lathrobium zhui Peng and Li
No full textLathrobium zhui Peng and Li, new name Lathrobium zhui, new name, is proposed for Lathrobium pilosum Peng & Li, 2012: 74, from Zhejiang, which is a junior primary homonym of Lathrobium pilosum Gravenhorst, 1802: 56. The Gravenhorst name was moved to Tetartopeus. The replacement name is a patronym in honor of Li-Long Zhu who collected one of the type specimens.Published as part of Peng, Zhong, Li, Li-Zhen & Zhao, Mei-Jun, 2014, Seventeen new species and additional records of Lathrobium (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae) from mainland China, pp. 1-35 in Zootaxa 3780 (1) on page 34, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3780.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/28574

Habitus as in Fig. 21 B. Body dark brown with paler apex, legs brown, antennae brown to light brown. Head approximately as long as broad; punctation coarse and dense, somewhat sparser in median dorsal portion; interstices with very shallow microreticulation. Eyes 0.35–0.38 times as long as postocular region in dorsal view and composed of approximately 55 ommatidia. Pronotum nearly parallel-sided; punctation moderately sparser than that of head; impunctate midline broad; interstices without microreticulation. Elytra moderately short; punctation dense and moderately fine. Hind wings completely reduced. Abdomen with fine and dense punctation, that of tergite VII sparser than that of anterior tergites; interstices with very shallow microsculpture; posterior margin of tergite VII without palisade fringe. Male. Posterior margin of tergite VIII weakly convex; sternite VII (Fig. 23 A) strongly transverse, with very shallow median impression posteriorly, this impression with unmodified setae, posterior margin weakly concave in the middle; sternite VIII (Fig. 23 B) symmetric, with shallow posterior excision, pubescence unmodified; aedeagus as in Figs 23 C, D, ventral process slender; dorsal plate slender and weakly sclerotized; internal sac with several sclerotized spines of different shapes. Female. Unknown. Comparative notes. Lathrobium guangdongense resembles L. damingense Peng & Li, 2013 from Guangxi in having weakly modified male sternites VII and VIII. It is distinguished from L. damingense Peng & Li, 2013 by smaller body size, denser punctation of the head, and the morphology of the aedeagus (shape of ventral process; internal sac with several sclerotized spines). For illustrations of L. damingense see Peng et al. (2013 c). Distribution and biological notes. The type locality is situated in the Nanling to the northwest of Shaoguan, northern Guangzhou. The specimens were sifted from leaf litter in a spruce forest at an altitude of 1,070 m. Etymology. The specific epithet is derived from Guangdong Province, where the type locality is situated.Published as part of Peng, Zhong, Li, Li-Zhen & Zhao, Mei-Jun, 2014, Seventeen new species and additional records of Lathrobium (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae) from mainland China, pp. 1-35 in Zootaxa 3780 (1) on pages 32-33, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3780.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/28574

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
Lathrobium shengtangshanense Peng and Li, new species
No full textLathrobium shengtangshanense Peng and Li, new species (Figs. 1 D, 5) Type material. (9 3, 5 ƤƤ). HOLOTYPE: 3, labelled ‘ CHINA: GUANGXI Prov. / Jinxiu County / Shengtangshan Mt. / 26.vii. 2011, alt. 1,650–1,800 m / Jia-Yao Hu leg.’. PARATYPES: 7 3, 5 ƤƤ, same label data as holotype; 1 3, same, but ‘alt. 1,900 m / Zhong Peng leg.’. Description. Measurements and ratios: BL 8.35–9.34, HL 1.18–1.24, HW 1.28–1.35, PL 1.67–1.74, PW 1.35–1.41, EL 1.05–1.17, HL/HW 0.91–0.92, HW/PW 0.95–0.97, HL/PL 0.71–0.74, PW/PL 0.80–0.82, EL/PL 0.63–0.67. Habitus as in Fig. 1 D. Externally similar to L. dayaoshanense, except for the lighter average coloration, the somewhat smaller body size, the nearly parallel-sided pronotum and the narrower impunctate midline on the pronotum. Male. Sternite VII (Fig. 5 D) with short modified setae surrounding subtriangular medioapical impression, and with apical margin deeply concave; sternite VIII (Fig. 5 E) with weak emargination and broad impression along middle, on either side of this impression with modified setae; sternite IX (Fig. 5 F) asymmetric; aedeagus as in Fig. 5 G– 5 J. Female. Apical margin of tergite VIII (Fig. 5 A) angulate at middle; sternite VIII (Fig. 5 B) distinctly oblong, much longer than that of male and distinctly produced apically; tergite IX (Fig. 5 C) narrowly separated basally; tergite X elliptical, reaching basal margin of tergite IX. Remarks. The new species is close to L. guizhouensis Chen, Li & Zhao, 2005 from Guizhou with which it shares the similar habitus (Chen, Li & Zhao, 2005: 599, Fig. 1) and the male sternite VIII (Chen, Li & Zhao, 2005: 599, Fig. 2). But the new species can be readily distinguished by the front part of the aedeagus studded with dense tubercles. In L. guizhouensis, the aedeagus (Chen, Li & Zhao, 2005: 599, Fig. 3–5) is slender and lacks tubercles. Distribution. South China (Guangxi: Shengtangshan Mountain). Habitat. The adults were collected from the leaf litter of the forest floor by sifting. Etymology. The species is named after its type locality.Published as part of Peng, Zhong, Li, Li-Zhen & Zhao, Mei-Jun, 2012, New species of the genus Lathrobium Gravenhorst (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Paederinae) from Guangxi, South China, pp. 1-16 in Zootaxa 3389 on pages 8-9, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20840
