Stenus permodestus View in CoL nov.sp. ( Figs 33 View Figs 30-41 , 72 View Figs 70-77 )
Type material: Holotype () and 5, 3 - paratypes: Taiwan: Nantou Hsien: Houhuanshan, Kuenyang , 3050m, 4.V.1991, A. Smetana (T 63) . Paratypes: 3, 5: ibidem, idem (T 64) ; 4, 3: ibidem, 13.V.1995, idem (T 179).- HT and PTT in coll. Smetana (Ottawa), PTT also in cN and in cP .
Description: About as in S. persubtilis nov.sp.
Length: 2.7-3.2mm (forebody: 1.4-1.6mm).
PM of the HT: HW: 30; DE; 16; PW: 22; PL: 22; EW: 26.5; EL: 23.5; SL: 18.
Male: Metasternum shallowly impressed, moderately coarsely and moderately densely punctate, interstices mostly larger than half diameter of punctures. Anterior sternites simple, sternite 7 finer and denser punctate and pubescent medially than laterally. Sternite 8 with a broad and shallow apical emargination (LS: ED= 51:3). Sternite 9 with comparatively short, blackish apicolateral teeth. Aedeagus (fig. 33), apex of median lobe pointed, expulsion clasp broad; parameres as long as median lobe, with 8-9 apical setae.
Female: Sternite 8 at posterior margin feebly and roundly projecting. Valvifer with a short apicolateral tooth. Spermatheca (fig. 72), infundibulum slender, about 3x as long as broad.
Median portion of frons distinctly exceeding the level of medial eye margins; pronotum and elytra with deep impressions; abdominal punctation dense, interstices on tergite 7 distinctly smaller than punctures.
Comparative notes: This new species may be distinguished from S. perversor nov.sp., which has been found in about the same area, by the shape of the spermatheca with a relatively slender infundibulum, and by the aedeagus with a more pointed median lobe, from all other close relatives also by the sexual characters.
Etymology: Since this species has no exceptional characters I name it " permodestus " (Lat.= very modest).
