(Figs. X-20, XII-20, XVI-16)

Lemula par Holzschuh, 1998: 6 View in CoL , fig. 3. Type locality: Yulongshan, Beishui, Lijiang county, Yunnan, China.

Diagnosis. Male: BL = 6.8 mm. EL/EW = 1.92. Head and pronotum metallic dark blue green; antennae with scape metallic yellowish green and rest dark brown; elytra shiny light blue; ventral surface dark bluish green and abdominal ventrites I to IV black, and V light yellow. Head with labrum and clypeus with long pale hairs, vertex and temples sparsely covered with feeble pale hairs; pronotum sparsely covered with erect short brownish hairs intermixed a few long pale hairs; elytra furnished with suberect bristle-like black hairs which are as long as space between punctures; metasternum and legs furnished with subrecumbent brown hairs.

Head wider than pronotum, sparsely covered with fine punctures on vertex and moderately covered with large and deep punctures on occiput; vertex weakly raised with narrow median furrow; occiput depressed medially; temples behind eyes obliquely narrowed, then angularly constricted toward neck; antennae slightly exceeding middle of elytra, and III antennomere as long as IV; relative lengths of antennomeres from base to apex as follows: 22: 8: 15: 15: 22: 21: 23: 20: 21: 20: 27.

Pronotum slightly longer than width at lateral tubercles (PL/PW = 1.03), disk well convex without distinct median longitudinal depression, sparsely covered with distinct fine punctures. Scutellum tongue shaped with few punctures.

Elytra almost as long as twice humeral width (EL/EW = 1.97), with vestigial protrusion at apex along suture; disk moderately with fine punctures, space between punctures nearly twice size of each puncture.

Endophallus (Type C). Basic structure same with L. pilifera though totally slender. Dorsal view: CT gradually narrowed to PB with weak constriction, dm elongate tongue shaped; APH was not well inflated by technical problem (only one male specimen was available) but supposed to be same with L. shaanxiensis . Lateral view: CT strongly inflated ventrally; border of PC and PB not narrowed and strongly curved dorsally with deep ventral constriction; PB rather flat in ventrally with protruded proximal corner; APH was not well inflated by technical problem (only one male specimen was available).

Female: BL = 7.8 mm. EL/EW = 1.84. Similar in general appearance, but pronotum shorter than width at lateral tubercles (PL/PW = 0.91), only I and II abdominal ventrites black, antennae not reaching middle of elytra, and elytra much wider.

Type material examined. Lemula par Holzschuh, 1998 : Holotype ♀ ( CCH), “ CHINA, Yunnan, Lijiang , /

Yulongshan, Bai Shui, 2900–/ 3300m, 7.–18. VII. 1994, / leg. C. Holzschuh”, “ HOLOTYPUS / Lemula / par n. sp. / det. C. Holzschuh 1998 ”.

Other material examined. [ China]: Judian (F甸), Pass 50 km W., Yunnan [1♂, 11–13-VI-2005, Ivo Jeniš leg.] .

Distribution. China (Yunnan).

Ecology. Flight period: June–July.

Remarks. Similar to L. pilifera by the endophallic characters, but differs from it by shorter elytral hairs, not entirely black abdominal ventrites and also by longer antennae.
