Doryloxenus sp.

M a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d: China, Yunnan: 1♀, Baoshan Pref., Gaoligong Shan near Xiaoheishan N. R., 35 SE Tengchong, 24°50'N, 98°46'E, 2110 m, deciduous forest, sifted, 4.VI.2007, leg. Pütz (cAss).

C o m m e n t: The above specimen was sifted in the same locality as the holotype of D. yunnanus . It is distinguished from that species by numerous characters, particularly by much smaller size (1.4 mm), the absence of punctation on the forebody, and the absence of micropunctation on the abdomen. The specimen doubtlessly represents an undescribed species, but since it is a female, a description would not seem appropriate.
