Ochinoeus habashanensis sp. nov.

( Figs. 8, 16, 22 View FIGURES 5 – 22 , 25–26 View FIGURES 23 – 33 )

Type material. Holotype, male, CHINA, Yunnan, Habashan; 10. Jun. 2002; leg. S. Becvar.

Differential diagnosis. O. habashanensis resembles O. huaphanensis in general appearance, but O. habashanensis has relatively smaller eyes. Whole scutellum of O. habashanensis is dark brown to black unlike yellow to brown scutellum of O. huaphanensis . The phallus of O. habashanensis is very flat basally and characteristically curved in apical part in contrast to generally more robust appearance of phalli of other species ( Figs. 25–32 View FIGURES 23 – 33 ).

Description. Male. Body ~ 12 mm, elongate, 4.5 times longer than width at humeri. Body dark brown, entire elytra ochreous, pronotum ochreous at margins, darker in middle. Whole body covered with short fine pubescence. Head small with hemispherically prominent eyes, their frontal distance 1.26 times their maximum diameter. Antennomeres 3–10 flabellate ( Fig. 16 View FIGURES 5 – 22 ), apical antennomere slender, lanceolate. Pronotum flat, trapezoidal, 1.3 times wider at posterior angles than long at midline; with carinae forming seven areolae, lateral carinae very weak ( Fig. 8 View FIGURES 5 – 22 ). Elytra slender, parallel-sided, 4.0 times longer than wide at humeri with four strong primary costae and five weakly developed, often interrupted secondary costae ( Fig. 22 View FIGURES 5 – 22 ); elytral cells mostly rectangular. Male genitalia flat basally, wider in middle part; apical part very slender, curved, thorns of internal sac small, apically placed, basal sclerotized lamellae present ( Figs. 25–26 View FIGURES 23 – 33 ).

Measurements. BL 12.0 mm, EL 10.9 mm, WH 2.7 mm, PL 1.6 mm, PW 2.1 mm, Ediam 0.63 mm, Edist 0.79 mm.

Distribution. China, Yunnan province, Habashan mts., known only from the type locality.

Etymology. The specific epithet is derived from the name of the Habashan Mts., the type locality of the species.
