Differential diagnosis
The male of S. xizangensis sp. nov. is morphologically similar to that of S. grandis ( Nepal) , S. chayuensis sp. nov. ( China: Xizang), S. magnus ( China: Xizang) and S. tangliangi ( China: Yunnan) in sharing the single basal protuberance of antennomere 11 and oblique mesal margin of antennomere 9. It can be separated from S. grandis and S. magnus by the much smaller body size (2.53–2.73 mm vs 3 mm for S. grandis and 3.36 mm for S. magnus ) and more distal position of the apophysis of antennomere 9; from S. chayuensis sp. nov. by the much shorter antennomere 11; and from S. tangliangi by the larger basal protuberance and more distal position of the apophysis of antennomere 9.
Etymology
The new species is named after Xizang Province (= Tibet), where the type locality of this species is situated.

Description
Male
MEASUREMENTS. AeL = 0.22 mm; AnL = 1.25–1.29 mm; AL = 0.65–0.73 mm; AW = 0.82–0.88 mm; TBL = 2.53–2.73 mm; EL = 0.76–0.83 mm; EW = 0.95–1.01 mm; HL = 0.55–0.58 mm; HW = 0.46– 0.49 mm; LE = 0.17 mm; LT = 0.17 mm; PL = 0.57–0.59 mm; PW = 0.55–0.57 mm.
Body ( Fig. 16A View Fig ) reddish-brown, mouthparts and tarsi paler. Head longer than wide. Each eye composed of about 22 facets; LE: LT = 1. Antennal clubs ( Fig. 16B View Fig ) formed by antennomeres 9–11; inner margin of antennomere 9 ( Fig. 16C View Fig ) moderately oblique, semi-membranous apophysis at middle of mesal margin; antennomere 10 transverse, obconical; antennomere 11 ( Fig. 16B View Fig ) about 1.7 times as long as wide, each with single basal protuberance covered with tuft of setae at apex ( Fig. 16D View Fig ). Pronotum approximately as long as broad. Elytra moderately transverse. Abdomen widest at tergite 1 (IV) and narrowing apically. Aedeagus ( Fig. 16E View Fig ) almost symmetrical.
Female
