Euseboides punctatissimus Holzschuh, 2010

( Figures 75–86 )

Euseboides punctatissimus Holzschuh, 2010: 220 (type locality: “Shidu village, SW Jiangkou, Prov. Guizhou, China ”), fig. 64 (female).

Male terminalia. Tergite VIII ( Figs 79 & 80 ) sparsely covered with long black setae at apical middle, but with dense long black setae at apical sides; disc almost rectangular, longer than broad, slightly expanded at apical sides, truncate apically, but with 3 shallow notches apically. Sternite VIII ( Figs 79 & 80 ) sparsely covered with short brown setae, but with several long black long setae at apical sides; disc broader than long; spiculum relictum nearly as long as sternite VIII. Spiculum gastrale ( Figs 79 & 80 ) Y-shaped, slender, distinctly longer than sternite VIII.

Aedeagus. Tegmen ( Figs 81–83 ) curved, slightly shorter than penis; parameres sparsely covered with long black setae apically, ventral surface sparsely with short and fine balck setae at base; phallobase 2.5 times as long as parameres, abruptly expanded near apical 1/4, and gradually constricted towards base, anterior tegminal struts separated. Penis ( Figs 84–86 ) curved and thick in profile; dorsal struts long, nearly 2/5 as long as penis, slightly curved in profile; dorsal plate rounded apically; ventral plate distinctly longer than dorsal plate, rounded apically.

Specimens examined. 1 male (YUHC), China: Dalaoling, Yichang, Hubei, 1. V. 2009, Guang-Lin Xie leg.

Distribution. China: Guizhou (Jiangkou), Hubei (Enshi, Yichang).

Comments. Holzschuh (2010) examined female and male specimens, but only gave a female photo in the original description. There is a holotype photo of E. punctatissimus in the database “A Photographic Catalog of the Cerambycidae of the World” ( Bezark, 2013).
