    In this well-documented, bilingual, and richly illustrated catalogue, published for the long-anticipated exhibition Reflected Beauty: Chinese Reverse Glass Paintings from the Mei Lin Collection at the University Museum and Art Gallery of the University of Hong Kong (September 2021-January 2022), the authors give us a profound insight into the phenomenon of reverse painting on glass and mirror paintings, with a particular focus on those from the Mei Lin Collection assembled by the Sinologist, author, and translator Rupprecht Mayer and his wife Haitang Mayer-Liem. Composed of over one hundred works acquired in East Asia between 1968 and 2012, this is one of the world's most important collections of Chinese reverse glass paintings from the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries.Modern and Contemporary Studie

    Anaches yitingi Holzschuh & Lin, 2013 (Figs. 4–5, 10, 14–15) Anaches yitingi Holzschuh & Lin, 2013: 154, fig. 10. Anaches yitingi: Lin, 2015, 256, 2 figs.; Lin & Yang, 2019: 362; Danilevsky, 2020: 449; Lin & Lazarev, 2021: 74. Male terminalia (Figs. 14–15). Tegmen length about 2.0 mm; lateral lobes rather straightly tapered from middle to narrowly rounded apices, each about 0.4 mm long and 0.2 mm wide; median lobe plus median struts slightly curved, slightly longer than tegmen in length; median struts shorter than half of whole median lobe in length; apex of ventral plate strongly projected (Fig. 15a); median foramen elongate; internal sac with 2 hook-shaped sclerites (Figs. 15b, 15c). Tergite VIII (Figs. 14a & 14c) trapezoidal, apex slightly emarginated with round angles, provided with medium long setae along apical and lateral sides. Diagnosis. This species is mostly similar to A. albaninus (Gressitt, 1942), but can be easily distinguished from it by the following features: the whitish band more oblique; the anterior margins of the whitish bands “U”-shaped, instead of slightly oblique line; the sexual patches on sternite IV closer to each other (Figs. 10a, 10b), instead of well separated (Figs. 11a, 11b); the apex of tergite VIII emarginated (Figs. 14a, 14c), instead of rounded (Figs. 16a, 16c); the apex of ventral plate of median lobe projected (Fig. 15a), instead of pointed (Fig. 17a). Type specimens examined. 1 ♂, 1 ♀, paratypes, Taiwan, Pingtung County, Mt. Dahan, 2007-V-26, leg. Wenhsin Lin (IZCAS, IOZ (E) 1905283–84). Distribution. China: Taiwan.Published as part of Lin, Mei-Ying & Weigel, Andreas, 2022, A study on the genus Anaches Pascoe, 1865 (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae Pteropliini), with a new species and two new synonyms, pp. 123-132 in Zootaxa 5133 (1) on pages 126-128, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5133.1.6, http://zenodo.org/record/652151
