Type material. Holotype: CHINA: Zhejiang Prov.: ɗ, Yuyao City, Simingshan, 31.VII.2004, ZHU Jing-Wen leg.. Paratypes: CHINA: Zhejiang Prov.: 2ΨΨ, same data as holotype; 21ɗɗ, 13ΨΨ, Yuyao City, Simingshan, 900–950 m, 14.VII.2007, SHEN Shan-Jia &XU Wang leg.; ɗ, 4ΨΨ, Taizhou City, Tiantaishan, 900 m, 13.VII.2007, SHEN Shan-Jia & XU Wang leg.

Description. Body length: 3.9–4.2 mm; forebody length: 2.2–2.3 mm.

Body ( Fig. 10 View FIGURES 1 – 12 ) elongate, reddish brown, with antenna (except for two basal segments), maxillary palpi and legs (except for meta-coxae) yellow.

Head suborbicular, as long as broad; postocular portion 2.20 times as long as eye length; on disc intervals between punctures flat, not raised like carinae. Antennae slender, extending to middle of pronotum; relative length of each segment from 1 to 11: 17.0: 7.0: 9.0: 8.0: 7.0: 7.0: 6.5: 6.5: 6.0: 6.0: 9.0; relative width of each segment from 1 to 11: 6.0: 4.0: 3.0: 3.0: 3.0: 3.0: 3.0: 3.0: 3.0: 4.0: 4.0.

Pronotum convex and oval, longer than wide (length/width = 1.14), narrower (pronotum/head = 0.88) than, and as long as head; prosternum with strong longitudinal median carina not reaching its anterior margin. Elytra slightly shorter than wide (length/width = 0.94), distinctly shorter (elytra/pronotum = 0.82) than and as long as pronotum.

Abdomen with finely and faintly microsculpture on apical 1/3 of 7th segment and on the 8th one.

Male. Seventh sternite ( Fig. 58 View FIGURES 58 – 62 ) slightly concave in middle of posterior margin; 8th sternite ( Fig. 59 View FIGURES 58 – 62 ) with deep V-shaped emargination in middle of posterior margin. Aedeagus ( Figs. 60–62 View FIGURES 58 – 62 ) distinctly sclerotized; median lobe in dorsal view distinctly constricted near middle, strongly widened at apical 1/3, then gradually narrowed apicad and acuate at apex; dorso-lateral apophyses long and narrow, not reaching the apex of median lobe, slightly curved inwards in dorsal view, with a small inward projection.

Female. Seventh and 8th sternites simple.

Remarks. Nazeris zhujingwenae is similar to N. tianmuensis , but can be distinguished from the latter by the following characters: only the 8th abdominal segment and the apical 1/3 of the 7th with faint microsculpture (in N. tianmuensis all the abdomen segments with microsculpture); dorso-lateral apophyses much longer than those of N. tianmuensis ( Fig. 60 View FIGURES 58 – 62 ).

Distribution. China (Zhejiang Prov.).

Etymology. The species is named in honor of Ms. ZHU Jing-wen, who collected some Nazeris specimens used in this study.
