Description. Measurements and ratios: BL 3.5–4.6 mm. Holotype: HL 0.65 mm, HW 0.68 mm, PL 0.73 mm, PW 0.78 mm, EL 1.60 mm, EW 1.40 mm, HL/HW 0.96, HW/PW 0.87, PL/PW 0.94. Habitus as in Fig. 1. Length 4.6 mm. Black, mouth-parts and antennae rufo-testaceous; legs dark, tarsi yellowishbrown. Each elytron with one small darkish red spot near middle. Pubescence pale, evident and recumbent on whole body. Head sub-triangular, coarsely and sparsely punctate, widest across eyes and slightly broader across compound eyes than long; vertex moderately depressed; eyes prominent; ocelli distinct, distance between them slightly smaller than that from lateral margin of each ocellus to mesal margin of eye; postocular margins less than half length of longitudinal diameter of eye; antennae overlapping base of pronotum by two terminal segments when pulled posteriad; antennomeres I moderately robust, II much shorter and narrower than I, III–X each elongate and thickened in apical half, XI as long as I, nearly fusiform; relative length of each antennomere from base to apex as 15: 9: 10: 9: 10: 10: 10: 10: 9: 9: 15. Pronotum subcordate, moderately convex, widest near anterior third, slightly wider than head; lateral margins rounded at anterior two-thirds and nearly straight at posterior third; more coarsely and densely punctate than on head; with paired shallow transverse discal impressions, one median and two admesal longitudinal antebasal impressions. Scutellum subtriangular, surface with fine punctation and pubescence. Elytra subtrapezoidal, gradually dilated posteriorly, posterior angles broadly rounded; punctation and pubescence slightly 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; tergites IV–V each with one pair of tomentose admesal patches. Male. Sternite VIII transverse, posterior margin broadly emarginate. Aedeagus (Figs. 2–3) length 0.74 mm, parameres longer than median lobe. Female. Protarsomeres I–IV not dilated. Otherwise similar to male. Distribution. East China: Zhejiang Province. Bionomics. The type series were collected by sifting leaf litter and wet moss at the streamside. Etymology. The specific epithet ‘ brevimacula ’ means ‘small spot’, referring to the small spots of elytra. Remarks. The new species is most similar to Lesteva cooteri Rougemont in sharing a pair of small elytral spot, but can be quickly separated by the larger size and aedeagus with parameres being longer than the median lobe.Published as part of Ma, Wen-Li & Li, Li-Zhen, 2012, A new species of Lesteva Latreille (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Omaliinae) from Zhejiang, East China, pp. 74-76 in Zootaxa 3530 on pages 74-75, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.21090

Chinese Fables & Folktales III
No full textThere are four stories here. "When the Tiger was Rescued by the Old Taoist Monk" is an intriguing tale. During a flood, the Taoist master has his monks save villagers and even their property. They see an animal floating and the master wants him saved. The animal turns out to be a tiger. Should they tie him up in the boat? "No." opines the master; "he will not hurt someone who has saved him." As they get to the shore, the tiger jumps on the master and has to be driven away. Fables carry this story in different directions, from Androcles to the frozen snake who bites his "savior" as soon as he warms up. The art for this story is, I believe, the best in this series of three books. "How a Hen was Taken in" tells of a protective hen guarding her chicks against worthy predators like an eagle and a cat. Then a crow shows up, is friendly, hangs around, comes closer -- and soon makes off with a chick. This is a frequent Aesopic motif, found for example in a shepherd who raises or otherwise trusts a wolf. "Wang Hao Looks for his Horse" because his horse has been covered with hoarfrost and has turned white. After some frantic searching, Wang Hao comes back and of course finds his bay-colored horse again. "Zi Han Declines the Precious Jade" and, in rejecting this tribute of respect, Zi Han gains even more respect. Though better in this respect than Volume II, this book is sometimes careless about the placement of text on colors that render the text hard to read. Apparently the artist and design people did not cooperate well. Each of these stories at least borders on being a fable.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)In English, with some text in Chinese.Chinese text by Zheng Ma and Zheng Li; Translation by Wu Ying; Illustrations by Ma Li, Cheng Junjie, Zhan Shu'an, Wu Jianhua, Chen Yula
