No full textSmetanabatrus ghecu Yin & Li, 2015 Smetanabatrus ghecu Yin & Li, 2015: 377. Type locality: Carin Asciuii Ghecù, southern Shan State, central Myanmar. Material examined: MHNG-ENTO-00013302; ♀; Thailand, Chiang Mai, Doi Suthep; 3. 87; coll. de Rougemont; “ Smetanabatrus ghecu Yin & Li 2015, Det. Yin 2018”. Distribution: Myanmar (southern Shan State); Thailand (Chiang Mai), new country record (Fig. 2). Comments: Given the similar body size (3.38 mm) and proportions, roundly broadened inner and outer margins of the maxillary palpomere IV, presence of a reversed ‘U’-shaped sulcus on the vertex, and coarsely punctate head and pronotum, the present specimen can be readily identified as conspecific with the population from central Myanmar. The present record expands the distributional range of this species some 220 km to the southeast from the type locality.

Abdomen widest at tergite 1 (IV), and narrowing apically; mid-length of dorsally exposed part 0.53–0.58 mm, maximum width 0.71–0.73 mm. Comparative notes. Sathytes similis is morphologically close to S. paulus Yin & Li and S. wuyishanus Yin & Li in the form of antennomeres 9 and 11, and may be separated from both by the much larger body size (1.95–2.10 mm vs. 1.59–1.66 mm of S. paulus, and 1.54 mm of S. wuyishanus), and the relatively more transverse antennomere 2 in relation to antennomere 3. Distribution. China: Zhejiang, Jiangxi. Etymology. The new specific epithet ‘ similis ’ refers to the morphological similarity between the new species and its congeners.Published as part of Shen, Qi & Yin, Zi-Wei, 2020, Five new species and a new record of Sathytes Westwood from eastern China (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Pselaphinae), pp. 386-394 in Zootaxa 4751 (2) on pages 393-394, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4751.2.13, http://zenodo.org/record/371303

Batriscenellus strictus Yin 2017, new species
No full textBatriscenellus strictus Jiang and Yin, new species (Figs 8 B, 9B–C, 9F–G) Type material (2 exs). Holotype: ♂: ‘ China: S. Zhejiang, Qingyuan (mỄH), Baishanzu N. R. (UƜdzŊĖOiṖ Ữ), path nr. hotel, 27°44'42"N, 110°10'19"E, leaf litter, sifted, 30.iv.2014, 1060–1130, Peng, Song, Yan & Yu leg.’ (SNUC). Paratypes: 1 ♂, same collection data as the holotype (SNUC). Diagnosis of male. Dorsal surface of the head, pronotum, and tergite IV finely punctate; antennomeres elongate; elytra with relatively shallow sutural and discal striae; profemora strongly constricted near apex, mesotibiae with small apical projection; abdominal tergites unmodified; aedeagus with short ventral lobe, and with much longer, preapically expanded and apically curved and narrowed dorsal lobe. Description. Male (Fig. 8 B). Body reddish-brown, length 2.05–2.06 mm. Head subrectangular, slightly wider than long, HL 0.41–0.42 mm, HW 0.45–0.46 mm, dorsal surface finely punctate (Fig. 9 B); vertex with complete median ridge, connecting to anterior margin of U-shaped sulcus that connects foveae; antennomeres elongate, clubs formed by apical three antennomeres; each eye composed of about 35 facets. Pronotum about as long as wide, PL/ PW 0.47–0.48 mm, finely punctate (Fig. 9 B). Elytra wider than long, EL 0.70–0.72 mm, EW 0.78–0.80 mm, narrowed at base, discal striae shallow and slightly curved, extending to apical 4/5 of elytral length; sutural striae complete. Profemora (Fig. 9 C) strongly constricted near apex, mesotibiae each with a small apical projection. Abdomen wider than long, AL 0.45–0.46 mm, AW 0.71–0.72 mm, finely punctate and with short setae; tergites lacking modifications. Aedeagus (Fig. 9 F–G) strongly asymmetric, length 0.32 mm, ventral lobe short, broad at base and narrowed toward apex, dorsal lobe much longer than ventral lobe, strongly expanded preapically, strongly curved apically and narrowing toward apex. Comparative Notes. Batriscenellus strictus is placed in the B. uenoi group based on the simple abdominal tergites of the male. All three known species of the group, i.e., B. uenoi from Japan, B. femoralis Yin & Li (in Yin et al. 2011) from Zhejiang, eastern China, and B. hongkongensis Yin & Wang (in Wang et al. 2015) from Hong Kong, southern China, have modified metafemora. By contrast, B. strictus has apically constricted profemora of the male, and thus can be readily separated from the three above-mentioned species. Female. Unknown. Distribution. Eastern China: Zhejiang Etymology. The specific epithet strictus refers to the preapical constriction of male profemora.Published as part of Yin, Zi-Wei, 2017, Eight new species and two new records of Batriscenellus Jeannel (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Pselaphinae) from China and India, pp. 561-575 in Zootaxa 4318 (3) on pages 571-574, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4318.3.8, http://zenodo.org/record/88786
