Ochinoeus xunyanbaensis sp. nov.

( Figs. 6, 14, 20 View FIGURES 5 – 22 , 29–30 View FIGURES 23 – 33 )

Type material. Holotype, male, CHINA, Shaanxi, Xunyanba; May 2000; leg. V. Marshal. Paratype: male, same locality data.

Differential diagnosis. O. xunyanbaensis resembles O. hainanensis . These species differ mainly in elytral coloration, when O. xunyanbaensis has entire elytra brown while primary elytral costae of O. hainanensis are yellow to brown and secondary and transverse costae are dark brown. O. xunyanbaensis has well visible pronotal fronto-lateral carinae while in O. hainanensis the carinae are very weak. The phallus of O. xunyanbaensis is robust, almost parallel-sided, slender apically, those of O. hainanensis has widely rounded apical part ( Figs. 29–32 View FIGURES 23 – 33 ).

Description. Male. Body ~ 9 mm long, elongate, 4.4–4.8 times longer than width at humeri; entire body dark brown, only elytra lighter brown; whole body covered with short, dense pubescence. Head with hemispherically prominent eyes, interocular distance 1.00–1.08 times larger than maximum eye diameter. Antennomeres 3-10 flabellate ( Fig. 14 View FIGURES 5 – 22 ), apical antennomere slender, parallel-sided. Pronotum flat, trapezoidal, 1.3–1.5 times wider at base than long at midline, with strong middle and frontal carinae, postero-lateral carinae weaker ( Fig. 6 View FIGURES 5 – 22 ). Elytra slender, widened backward, 3.8–4.0 times longer than their combined width at humeri, with four strong primary costae and five irregularly developed secondary costae ( Fig. 20 View FIGURES 5 – 22 ). Phallus only slightly widened apically, almost parallel-sided, with gradually slenderer apical part; internal sac with inconspicuous sclerotized and pigmented structures ( Figs. 29–30 View FIGURES 23 – 33 ).

Measurements. BL 9.1–9.2 mm, EL 7.6–8.0 mm, WH 1.9–2.1 mm, PL 1.1 mm, PW 1.4–1.6 mm, Ediam 0.54–0.58 mm, Edist 0.58 mm.

Distribution. China, Shaanxi province, Qinling mts.

Etymology. The specific epithet is derived from the local name Xunyanba in the Qinling mts.
