Horniella falcis Yin and Li
No full text4. Horniella falcis Yin and Li Figs 7 B, 9; Map 1 Horniella falcis Yin & Li, 2010 (in Yin, Li & Zhao, 2010: 249). Type material examined (1 ♀). Holotype, ♀, labeled ‘ CHINA: Guizhou Prov., Suiyang County, Kuankuoshui N. R., Baishaogou, alt. 750–900 m, 05.vi. 2010, Yin & Zhai leg. [28 ° 17 ’ 19 ’’N, 107 ° 10 ’ 56 ’’E, leaf litter, sifted] / Holotype [red], ♂ [actually a female], Horniella falcis sp. n., det. Yin & Li, 2010, SNUC’. Supplementary description. Male. Unknown. Female (Fig. 7 B). Length 3.77 mm. Head longer than wide, HL 0.76 mm, HW 0.67 mm; anterolateral genal projections (Fig. 9 C) distinct, anterior margins obliquely concave; median sulcus between antennal tubercles short; scapes (Fig. 9 B) simple at basolateral margins; clubs (Fig. 9 A) loosely formed by apical three moderately enlarged antennomeres; venter with pair of slender lateral spines (Fig. 9 D). Maxillary palpomeres II stout, broadened at near middle. Each eye composed of about 35 facets. Pronotum slightly longer than wide, PL 0.74 mm, PW 0.71 mm. Elytra wider than long, EL 0.93 mm, EW 1.38 mm; discal striae reaching about apical 4 / 5 of elytral length. Protrochanters (Fig. 9 E) each with one short ventral spine, profemora (Fig. 9 E) each with two ventral spine, protibiae (Fig. 9 F) simple; mesotrochanters (Fig. 9 G) lacking spine, mesofemora simple, mesotibiae (Fig. 9 H) simple; tarsomeres II normal, not extending to beneath tarsomeres III. Abdomen large, AL 1.34 mm, AW 1.40 mm, tergite IV (first visible tergite) with short, thin median carina reaching 1 / 3 tergal length, lacking discal carinae, tergite V lacking median carina, tergite VII with large apicomedian process. Genital complex (Figs 9 I–K) with membranous trapezoidal apical portion and more strongly sclerotized, transverse basal portion. Differential diagnosis. This species is provisionally placed as a member of the H. centralis group though only a single female is known. The obliquely concave anterior margins of the anterolateral genal projections in H. falcis are only found in H. schuelkei sp. n. and H. nakhi sp. n. (both described below), which may indicate a close relationship between these species. The female of Horniella falcis can be quickly separated from that of H. nakhi by the presence of a large process at apicomedian portion of the tergite VII, which is lacking in the latter species. Only a single male is currently available for H. schuelkei, its relationship with H. falcis remains unclear. Since the distance between the type localities of H. falcis and H. schuelkei is much greater than that between H. nakhi and H. schuelkei, the former two species are most unlikely conspecific. Comments. The holotype of this species is actually a female, which was erroneously treated as a male in the original description of Yin et al. 2013. Distribution. Southwest China: Guizhou (Map 1). Collection notes. The single female was collected from sifted litter samples in a broad-leaved forest.Published as part of Yin, Zi-Wei & Li, Li-Zhen, 2014, Revision of the Oriental genus Horniella Raffray (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Pselaphinae), pp. 1-83 in Zootaxa 3850 (1) on pages 18-21, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3850.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/28686

Additional material examined (1 specimen). LAOS: BOLIKHAMSAI: 1 ♂, ‘LAOS, 1-18.v.2001, Bolikhamxai prov., 18°21′N, 105°08′E, Ban Nape (8 km NE), ~ 600 m, V. Eubáň leg’ (MHNG). Comments. Pselaphodes paraculeus was originally described from Guangxi and Guizhou, southern China, and is here newly record from Bolikhamsai, central Laos. This species is externally similar to P. aculeus Yin, Li & Zhao, 2010, which is widely distributed in China, but can be separated from the latter by the median lobe of aedeagus with a round, rather than deeply concave, apex. Compared to that from Guangxi, the male from Laos shows little variation in the shape of aedeagus. Distribution. China: Guangxi, Guizhou; Laos: Bolikhamsai(H UAN G et al. 2018; this paper).

Horniella awana can be readily separated from these two species by its stout aedeagal form, which are distinctly elongate in both H. philippina and H. cibodas. Distribution. West Malaysia: Pahang (Map 6). Collection notes. The male was probably collected from litter samples by sifting and use of Winkler-Moczarski extractors, with this being the same procedure used by I. Löbl in Nepal and Thailand. Etymology.

Distribution. Jilin (Dunhua), Inner Mongolia (Hohhot), China. Diagnosis. Hesperentomon dunhuaense sp. nov. is characterized by absence of P 1 a on meso- and metanotum and absence of P 1 a and P 2 a setae on urotergites II–VI to give 12 setae; presence of seta P 2 a on urotergite VII; presence of seta Pc on urosternites IV–VII; presence of foretarsal sensillum b'- 2; and slender and short sensilla t- 1 and t- 2. This new species is similar to H. nanshanense Bu & Yin, 2007, H. xiningense Bu & Yin, 2007, H. tianschanicum Martynova, 1970, H. sichuanense Tang & Yin, 1988, H. huashanense Yin, 1982 and H. liaoningense Wu & Yin, 2008 in the absence of P 1 a and presence of P 2 a on meso- and metanota, and absence of P 1 a and P 2 a on urotergites II–VI. In the presence of P 2 a on urotergite VII, the new species is similar only to H. nanshanense and H. xiningense, but it differs from these two species in having Pc on urosternites IV–VII and in having A 1 setae on meso- and metasterna. Hesperentomon tianschanicum, H. huashanense and H. liaoningense have the Pc seta on urosternites IV–VII, as in H. dunhuaense sp. nov., but they lack P 2 a on urotergite VII. The new species differs from H. tianschanicum and H. huashanense in having A 1 setae on the meso- and metasterna. H. dunhuaense sp. nov. additionally differs from H. huashanense in the number of setae on urotergite X (12 and 10 setae, respectively). From H. tianschanicum the new species differs in the shape of several foretarsal sensilla (t- 3 and b'- 1 about twice the length of b'- 2 in H. tianschanicum, equal to b'- 2 in H. dunhuaense sp. nov.); chaetotaxy of mesonotum (8 pairs of posterior setae in H. tianschanicum, 7 pairs of posterior setae in H. dunhuaense sp. nov.); chaetotaxy of meso- and metasternum (4 and 6 anterior setae in H. tianschanicum, 6 and 8 setae in H. dunhuaense sp. nov.) and chaetotaxy of urotergite VII (absence of P 2 a setae in H. tianschanicum, presence of these setae in H. dunhuaense sp. nov.). The new species differs from H. nanshanense and H. xiningense in having A 1 setae on meso- and metasternum. In chaetotaxic characters the new species is most similar to H. liaoningense with the exception of a different number of P -setae on urotergite VII: 18 P -setae (P 2 a setae present), as opposed to 16 P -setae in H. liaoningense (P 2 a setae absent). From H. liaoningense the new species differs in the shape of foretarsal sensilla b'- 1, b'- 2, c'- 1 and c'- 2 (thin and equal in length in H. dunhuaense sp. nov., b'- 2 and c'- 1 lanceolate and short in H. liaoningense, only about 0.4 times the length of b'- 1 and c'- 2).Published as part of Bu, Yun, Shrubovych, Julia & Yin, Wen Ying, 2011, Two new species of genus Hesperentomon Price, 1960 (Protura, Hesperentomidae) from Northern China, pp. 55-64 in Zootaxa 2885 on pages 60-63, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20220

Similar to male in general appearance; each eye composed of about 38–42 facets; Profemora simple. BL 3.73–3.80 mm, HL 0.84–0.87 mm, HW 0.65–0.68 mm, PL 0.85–0.86 mm, PW 0.71–0.74 mm, EL 0.91–0.94 mm, EW 1.40–1.44 mm, AL 1.09–1.17 mm, AW 1.38–1.44 mm. Genital complex (Fig. 49 H) well-sclerotized, composed of apical sclerite and a pair of triangular basal sclerites. Differential diagnosis. This species belongs to the H. gigas group. Males can be separated from H. gigas by the much smaller body size, the simple protrochanters, and the more slender form of the aedeagus, while H. gigas is larger (over 4.0 mm), the protrochanters have a distinct ventral spine, and the aedeagus is much stouter in form. The lack of long hairs on the male mesofemora and metatibiae quickly separates H. smetanai from H. pilosa. Distribution. East Malaysia: Sabah (Map 6). Collection notes. Individuals were collected from leaf litter samples by sifting and use of Winkler-Moczarski extractors. Etymology. The new species is named after Aleš Smetana (Ottawa, Canada), in acknowledgment of his collection of some of the material used in this study.Published as part of Yin, Zi-Wei & Li, Li-Zhen, 2014, Revision of the Oriental genus Horniella Raffray (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Pselaphinae), pp. 1-83 in Zootaxa 3850 (1) on page 72, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3850.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/28686
