Genus Anaches Pascoe, 1865 View in CoL
Anaches Pascoe, 1865: 160 View in CoL . Type species: Sthenias dorsalis Pascoe, 1858 View in CoL , by original designation.
Remarks. The genus can be divided into two species group by the elytral bands. The “wide banded” species group recently includes four valid species, A. dorsalis (Pascoe, 1858) , A. medioalbus ( Breuning, 1956) , A. murzini ( Lazarev, 2020) , and A. wenhsini Holzschuh & Lin, 2013 . They share the common characters: 1) the whitish pubescent part on elytra nearly or even more than half of elytra length in lateral view; 2) the greyish parts within the pubescent band form two bands, separated by a white pubescent polyline. In this paper, we do not try to solve this “ dorsalis ” species group except the new synonyms. Anaches cylindricus (Gressitt, 1939) neither belong to this species group, nor belong to the following species group which includes the new species. This species resembles to species of the subgenus Albosthenias Breuning, 1961 of the genus Sthenias Dejean, 1835 . It won’t be discussed in this paper either.
The new species belongs to the “narrow banded” species group, which includes three species, A. albaninus (Gressitt, 1942) , A. m-signatus sp. nov., and A. yitingi Holzschuh & Lin, 2013 . They share the common characters: 1) the whitish pubescent part on elytra much less than half of elytra length in lateral view, only nearly one third or even less than one third; 2) the greyish parts within the pubescent band form only one transverse band. In this paper, we describe one new species, and make additional descriptions of the male genitalia of the other three species.
