Wang, Cheng-Bin, Perreau, Michel, Růžička, Jan & Song, Xiao-Bin, 2017, Revision of the genus Sinobathyscia Perreau (Coleoptera, Leiodidae, Cholevinae) from China, with description of a new species, Zootaxa 4303 (3), pp. 350-360 : 356-357

Sinobathyscia kurbatovi Perreau, 1999 (库夫ĢḆṁṂffl) ( Figs. 1 E; 2 C; 3 C, H, K–L; 4 E–F, K, M; 6 A–B)

Perreau, 1999: 404 ( Sinobathyscia ; type locality: China, Hubei, Wuhan , 200 m; MHNG); Perreau, 2015: 210 ( Sinobathyscia ; in Palaearctic catalogue).

Material examined. Type material. Holotype: ♀, China, Hubei / Wuhan , litter / in the park / 200 m 28.V.1995 / leg. S. Kurbatov // HOLOTYPE / Sinobathyscia / kurbatovi n. gen. / n. sp. / M. Perreau det. 1999 ( MHNG) . Paratypes: 3♀♀, same data as holotype except: PARATYPE (2♀♀ in MHNG and 1♀ CMPR) .

Distribution. China (Hubei) ( Fig. 8 ).

Diagnosis. See under Sinobathyscia tianma sp. n. above.

Remarks. Only when a male topotype of this species is found, can its most crucial diagnostic characters be finally defined. Finding a male is thus one of the important targets of our future field work.
