Scutellum triangular and dull, slightly longer than wide, with fine and dense punctures, with minute setae in punctures.</p><p>Elytra oblong, widest in apical third, striae weakly impressed, finely and densely punctate, intervals weakly convex, with fine, moderately dense punctures often concentrated along the striae, odd intervals with single, fine, long, yellow setae (setae longer than interval width); interior apical angle of elytra with a short seta; epipleural edge fine ending at the strongly curved external apical angle of elytra, epipleura densely setose; apical border of elytra with a narrow membraneous rim of short microtrichomes.</p><p>Ventral surface shiny, with fine and moderately dense punctures, finely densely setose; metacoxa glabrous with a few fine, long, adjacent setae laterally only; abdominal sternites micro-reticulate, with an indistinct, transverse row of coarse punctures bearing a moderately long seta between fine, dense punctation, a few fine punctures bear a short seta; penultimate sternite apically with a smooth, sclerotized border which is one fifth as long as the sternite, last sternite medially 0.75 × as long as penultimate one. Mesosternum between mesocoxae as wide as mesofemur, with fine, long setae. Ratio of length of metepisternum/metacoxa: 1/1.48.

Metatibia slender and moderately long, evenly widened towards apex, ratio width/length: 1/3.2; dorsally longitudinally convex, apically also weakly carinate, with two groups of spines, basal group at first quarter, apical group at two thirds of metatibial length, basally with a few single, fine setae; external face longitudinally convex, with fine punctures laterally, glabrous; ventrally with a sharp, finely serrate margin, with four robust setae; internal face laterally with a few punctures bearing each a fine seta; apex interiorly deeply excavate at middle and not truncate near tarsal articulation. Meso- and metatarsomeres dorsally glabrous and finely densely punctate, ventrally with sparse, short setae; metatarsomeres ventrally with a finely serrate ridge, beside it with a robust longitudinal carina; metatarsomere 1 as long as following tarsomere and slightly longer than dorsal tibial spur. Protibia moderately long, bidentate, protarsal claws symmetric.</p><p>Aedeagus: Fig. 1A–D. Habitus: 1E. Female unknown.</p><p>Diagnosis. Archeohomaloplia xiajuan sp. nov. is in external appearance rather similar to A. hebashana Ahrens, 2011 . The new species differs by the shape of the dorsal apophysis of the phallobase which is apically more strongly widened and truncate at apex; the parameres are narrower and weakly curved.</p><p>Etymology. The species is named according to its occurrence near Xiajuan (noun in apposition).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/3060AF14FFA3F307F5D6B869FB2BF726	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
