Alesiella lineipennis (Cameron, 1932)
Quedius (Quedionuchus) lineipennis Cameron, 1932
Quedius lineipennis Cameron: Smetana 1988
Alesiella lineipennis (Cameron): Brunke and Solodovnikov 2013
Type locality.
Mogok [= Ruby Mines], Mandalay, Myanmar
Non-type material.
Thailand: Chiang Rai: Wiang Pa Pao District [no specific locality], 17-21.V.2015, K. Takahashi (1 male, aedeagus missing, cHay).
Diagnosis.
Only one species of Alesiella is known and can be recognized by characters in the above key to genera. The specimen from Thailand does not differ from the type material (previously studied by the author), though the aedeagus was lost during mounting (Y. Hayashi, pers. comm.).
Distribution.
Myanmar and Thailand (new country record).
Bionomics.
Nothing is known about this species’ microhabitat preferences but it probably occurs under the bark of dead trees in the earlier fermentation states of decay, as does its sister group Quediomacrus .
Comments.
The above specimen is a new record of the genus and species from Thailand, and represents the first available material in more than 130 years (since 1890). The above record also indicates that the species is certainly still extant and rather widespread, though its elevational range remains unknown. Although the type series only bears the information 'Ruby Mines, Doherty’, the diaries of William Doherty (reproduced in Hartert 1901) indicate that they were collected somewhere along the route (1150-1800 m) between the towns of Mogok (= 'Ruby Mines’) and Bernardmyo, during 1890. This montane rainforest elevational range is compatible with the general locality of the specimen from Thailand.
