( Figs 21 View Figs 21–25 , 27 View Figs 26–31 )
Zangia coerulea Jiang, 1990: 143 , 144 (original description).
Zangia coerulea : Bൾൾඇൾඇ (2010): 490 (catalogue); YൺඇǤ et al. (2015): 274 (key), 274 (noted).
Type locality. ‘[ China:] Sichuan: Emei shan’.
Type material examined. Hඈඅඈඍඒඉൾ:J ( Fig. 21 View Figs 21–25 , only photograph seen), ‘[Sichuan, Mt. Emei, 2100–3100 m / 1955.VI.26. / Zhong-Lin Ge] [in Chinese, w, p] // Oмейшань, 2100–3100 м. / Сычуань 26 У1 1955 / Гэ Цун-лин [w, p, Russian version of the previous label] // [No. 12] [in Chinese, w, h] // Zangia / coerulea / sp. n. / [Identifier:Sheng-Qiao Jiang] [partly in Chinese, w, combined p and h]’ ( IZAS).
Diagnosis. Colouration. Body completely orange except for piceous antennae and metallic blue elytra.
Body length. JJ: 7.8–8.0 mm.
Aedeagus in lateral view as in Fig. 27 View Figs 26–31 . Lateral elevation triangular, placed in apical fifth of aedeagus length. Middle part straight, apical and basal parts moderately bent. Dorsal process as long as median lobe of aedeagus, with narrow and bent base, apically widely divergent, apical part with V-shaped incision.
Female unknown.
Differential diagnosis. Having orange pronotum, head and underside, and metallic blue elytra, Liroetis coeruleus is similar to L. aeneipennis and L. violaceipennis . The males of all three species differ in the structure of aedeagus (cf. Figs 26, 27 View Figs 26–31 , 351 View Figs 347–351 ). Moreover, L. violaceipennis has pronotum strongly transverse, twice as wide as long, and Liroetis aeneipennis has body pale brown and elytra metallic green.
Distribution. China: Sichuan (JංൺඇǤ 1990).
