( Figs. 12 View FIGURES 1 – 12 , 68–72 View FIGURES 68 – 72 )

Type material. Holotype: CHINA: Zhejiang Prov.: ɗ, Longquan County, Fengyangshan, 1450–1600 m, 22.VII.2006, LI Jin-Wen & SHEN Shan-Jia leg.

Description. Body length: 4.1 mm; forebody length: 2.5 mm.

Body ( Fig. 12 View FIGURES 1 – 12 ) elongate, reddish brown, with coxae reddish yellow, antennal segments (except for two basal segments), maxillary palpi and legs (except for coxae) yellow.

Head suborbicular, slightly longer than broad (length/width = 1.03); postocular portion 1.91 times as long as eye length; on disc intervals between punctures flat, not raised like carinae. Antennae slender, extending to middle of pronotum; relative length of each segment from 1 to 11: 29.0: 10.0: 15.0: 13.0: 11.0: 11.0: 10.5: 10.0: 10.0: 10.0: 17.0; relative width of each segment from 1 to 11: 10.0: 7.0: 5.0: 5.5: 5.5: 5.5: 5.5: 5.5: 6.0: 7.0: 8.0.

Pronotum convex and oval, longer than wide (length/width = 1.17), narrower (pronotum/head = 0.86) and shorter (pronotum/head =0.97) than head; prosternum with strong longitudinal median carina not reaching its anterior margin. Elytra slightly shorter than wide (length/width = 0.95), distinctly shorter (elytra/pronotum = 0.81) and slightly narrower (elytra/pronotum = 0.99) than pronotum.

Abdomen without microsculpture.

Male. Seventh sternite ( Fig. 68 View FIGURES 68 – 72 ) simply rounded in middle of posterior margin; 8th sternite ( Fig. 69 View FIGURES 68 – 72 ) triangularly excised in middle of posterior margin. Aedeagus ( Figs. 70–72 View FIGURES 68 – 72 ) distinctly sclerotized; median lobe in dorsal view gradually narrowed apicad in apical part, cone-shaped at apex; dorso-lateral apophyses narrow, strongly curved inwards at basal 1/3 and with a small inward projection at middle in dorsal view, slightly widened at middle in lateral view, not reaching apex of median lobe.

Female. Unknown.

Remarks. Nazeris lijinweni can be distinguished by N. wuyiensis Hu, 2006 from Jiangxi Province by the following characters: median lobe of aedeagus in dorsal view gradually narrowed apicad in apical part ( Fig. 70 View FIGURES 68 – 72 ) (in N. wuyiensis slightly widened in apical part of median lobe); dorso-lateral apophyses of aedeagus much shorter than those of N. wuyiensis ( Fig. 70 View FIGURES 68 – 72 ).

Distribution. China (Zhejiang Prov.).

Etymology. The species is named in honor of Mr. LI Jin-Wen, who collected some Nazeris specimens used in this study.
