Anaches albaninus: Lin & Lazarev, 2021: 72 .

Male terminalia ( Figs. 16–17 ). Tegmen length about 2.5 mm; lateral lobes rather straightly tapered from middle to narrowly rounded apices, each about 0.5 mm long and 0.2 mm wide; median lobe plus median struts slightly curved, subequal to tegmen in length; median struts shorter than half of whole median lobe in length; apex of ventral plate pointed ( Fig. 17a ); median foramen elongate; internal sac with 2 hook-shaped sclerites ( Figs. 17b, 17c ). Tergite VIII ( Figs. 16a & 16c ) semicircled, apex widely rounded, provided with medium long setae along apical and lateral sides.

Diagnosis. A. albaninus differs from the new species A. m-signatus sp. nov. by following features: different withish elytral band (much narrower, the anterior border not so oblique, and posterior border not “m”shaped), elytral punctuation weaker, and pro-femora in males slender.

Remarks. The record from Inner Mongolia by Xu & Neng (2010) is a misidentification, we do not include it. The records from Heilongjiang, Hebei by Hua (2002), repeated by other authors ( Löbl & Smetana 2010, Lin 2015, Lin 2017, Lin & Yang 2019, Lin & Lazarev 2021) are doubtful, so we do not include them.
