Qiu, Lu, 2023, Selatosomus luhuaensis sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Elateridae: Dendrometrinae) from Sichuan Province, China, with an annotated checklist of the Chinese species of Selatosomus, Zootaxa 5228 (2), pp. 173-186 : 183

35. Selatosomus riegeri Schimmel, Tarnawski, Han & Platia, 2015

Type locality: “ China: Sichuan Prov., route Zongdian [Zhongdian / •Ʀ]- Litang [ƌdz]- Xiangceng [ Xiangcheng / þ µ] Hua-Shan , 2950m ” .

Remarks: “Hua-Shan” mentioned in the locality information probably due to the clerical error by the authors. The holotype of this species was collected from the route from Shangri-La [also known as Zhongdian] of Yunnan to Sichuan (from Xiangcheng to Litang). The information of the paratype is suspect, which was mentioned as “Xinjiang prov., Altai Mts [ñȈĔƜ], 20 km north of Altai city [Altai City is in Mongolia, while Altay City is in China, if this city is in Xinjiang, then it should be Altay City], 2000 m ”. This probably caused by mislabeling. The record from Xinjiang will not be accepted.

Distribution: Sichuan.
