Notosacantha sinica Gressitt, 1952 View in CoL

( Fig. 36 View FIGURES 32 – 36. 32 )

Notosacantha sinica Gressitt, 1952: 449 View in CoL .

Type locality. China, Fujian Prov., Shaowu Co., Dazhulan, approx. 27°41.7′N, 117°39.0′E, 1000 m a.s.l.

Original type series. Described only from the holotype ( LMNH).

Type material examined. Holotype, glued: ‘Fukien, S. China | ShaoWu TaChuFung [hw] | IV-25–30 - [hw]19[p]43[hw] T.C.Maa [w, p, cb] || L-113 [w, t, cb] || HOLOTYPE | NOTOSACAN [hw] | THA SINICA [hw] | J.L.Gressitt [r, p + hw by Gressitt, cb] || 529 [w, hw, cb] || En-289736 | [Data Matrix barcode] SYS [w. p, cb]’.

Current status. Valid species.

Remarks. Gressitt (1950) stated that the specimen came from ‘Ta-chu-lan’ but on the label is ‘TaChuFung’, however both names refer to the same place known as Dazhulan.

Notosacantha sinica View in CoL belongs to the N. vicaria View in CoL group and runs to the thesis 100 of the Spaethʼs (1933) key. Recently, several other species were added to the group: N. banaszkiewiczae Świętojańska & Stach, 2011 View in CoL , N. dembickyi Sekerka, 2008 View in CoL , N. kantneri Świętojańska & Borowiec, 1999 View in CoL , and N. nigrodorsata Chen & Zia, 1961 View in CoL . Notosacantha sinica View in CoL is particularly similar to N. nigrodorsata View in CoL as both species have black dorsum with yellow spot in the middle of the explanate margin of elytra. According to the original description and key provided by Chen et al. (1986) N. sinica View in CoL differs in antennae with black club, mostly black ventrites, and apical tubercle with sutural branch while N. nigrodorsata View in CoL has ventrites including antennae brown and apical tubercle without sutural branch. According to the colour figure in Chen et al. (1986) N. nigrodorsata View in CoL has more elevated costae, is less parallelsided, and has explanate margin broadly yellow thus without distinct yellow sutural spot present in N. sinica View in CoL .
