Labomimus maoershanus View in CoL sp. nov.
( Figs 1A View Fig , 2 View Fig , 8A View Fig )
Type locality. China, Guangxi Province, Xing’an County, Mao-Er-Shan Mt., ca. 2,100 m a.s.l., 25°51′58″N, 110°24′45″E.
Type material (89 JJ, 100 ♀♀). HOLOTYPE: J, labeled ‘ CHINA: Guangxi Prov. / Xing’an County / Maoershan Mountain / 10.vii.2011, 2000–2140 m / Zhong Peng leg. // HOLOTYPE (red) / Labomimus maoershanus / sp. n., Yin & Li / det. 2012, SNUC’. PARATYPES: 14 JJ, 26 ♀♀, same label data as holotype ; 9JJ, 10 ♀♀, same label data except ’ 11.vii.2011, W. J. He & L. Tang leg.’; 10 JJ, 8 ♀♀, same label data except ’ 09.vii.2011 ’; 27 JJ, 17 ♀♀, same label data, except ’ 10.vii.2011 ’; 26 JJ, 37 ♀♀, same label data, except ’ 10.vii.2011 / Chen, Ma, Peng, Zhu leg.’; 2 JJ, 2 ♀♀, same label data, except Jian-Qing Zhu leg.’ All paratypes bear the following label: ‘ PARATYPE (yellow) / Labomimus maoershanus / sp. n., Yin & Li / det. 2012, SNUC’.
Diagnosis. Reddish brown; medium-sized; postgenae rounded; antennomeres IX–XI enlarged; pronotum with lateral margins strongly angularly expanded laterally; with long metaventral processes; metatrochanter spinose; aedeagus with asymmetric median lobe.
Description. Male ( Fig. 1A View Fig ). Length 2.45–2.58. Head as long as wide, HL 0.61–0.62, HW 0.57–0.58; eyes each composed of about 25 facets. Antennal club as in Fig. 2A View Fig . Pronotum ( Fig. 2B View Fig ) slightly wider than long, PL 0.54–0.56, PW 0.62–0.63, with lateral margins strongly angularly expanded laterally. Elytra wider than long, EL 0.61–0.64, EW 1.01–1.03. Metaventral processes long, broadened apically ( Fig. 2C View Fig ). Protrochanters and profemora simple ( Fig. 2D View Fig ), mesotrochanters ( Fig. 2E View Fig ) slightly angulate ventrally, metatrochanters ( Fig. 2F View Fig ) with thick ventral spine. Abdomen large, AL 0.69–0.76, AW 1.09–1.10. Sternite IX as in Fig. 2G View Fig . Aedeagus length 0.47; with slightly asymmetric median lobe ( Figs 2H–J View Fig ).
Female. Similar to male in general; BL 2.51–2.58, HL 0.64–0.65, HW 0.55–0.57, PL 0.53–0.55, PW 0.59–0.60, EL 0.61–0.62, EW 1.07–1.11, AL 0.73–0.76, AW 1.14–1.15. Eyes each composed of about 20 facets. Antennae simple; metaventral processes absent.
Comparative notes. Males of the new species have the pronotal lateral margins strongly expanded laterally. Based on this feature L. maoershanus sp. nov. can be readily separated from all other congeners.
Etymology. This species is named after the type locality, Maoershan Mountain.
Biology. Individuals were sifted from leaf litter in a broad-leaved forest near the peak of the mountain ( Fig. 8A View Fig ).
Distribution. South China: Guangxi.
