Eustra yinggelingensis Jiang R-X, Wang C-B & Wang S, sp. n. ṞDflffiffläę Figs 1, 2 Type material (6 specimens). Holotype: CHINA: ³, labelled ‘ China: Hainan, Baisha County (ŭṅẓ), Nankai Township (Ṓ=¼), near Budao Village (ƾựffi), 19°03′00″N, 109°23′21″E, H: 284~ 364m, 19.IV.2018, in rotten wood, Jiang Ri-Xin leg.’ (SHNU). Paratypes: CHINA: 5 ³³, same label data as the holotype (1 ³, MYNU; 1 ³, IZAS; 1 ³, SCAU; 2 ³³, SHNU). Comparative diagnosis. Eustra yinggelingensis sp. n. highly resembles the Vietnamese species E. csikii Jedlička, 1968; the two species share similar habitus characters, such as large dark spots on elytra. However, the two species can be well distinguished by the different form of aedeagus, and E. yinggelingensis possesses a much longer glabrous area along the outside of elytral spot than E. csikii. Description. Male. Body (Fig 1A) 3.09–3.25 mm long. Head and pronotum reddish-brown; each elytron reddish-brown in basal 1/3, dark-brown in apical 2/3, and with a large obscurely dark spot at near side. Head (Fig. 1B) about as long as wide, convex and gently covered with short setae, surface with faint and irregular microsculpture; fully carinate near eyes. Clypeus gently concave anteriorly, with 2 pairs of long setae at anterior margin. Labrum minutely denticulate and 4 pairs of long setae at anterior margin. Eyes medium sized, hemispherical. Antennae (Fig. 2C) nearly moniliform, antennomere I expanded, II–IV clavate, gradually increasing in diameter distally; V–IX almost as long as wide; XI the longest, as long as VIII–X combined. Pronotum (Fig. 1C) sparsely covered with yellow setae; wider than long, widest at apical third; moderately narrowing anteriorly and posteriorly, more posteriorly than anteriorly; lateral margins with small, weak and blunt teeth; front angles strongly produced; midline distinct, almost reaching both anterior and posterior borders. Elytra (Fig. 2A) densely punctuate and pubescent, distinctly wider than prothorax; shoulders rounded; surface moderately covered with short setae and with faint and irregular microsculpture, but with glabrous area along the out side of dark spot and about 2/3 length as elytra. Hind wings well developed. Legs (Fig. 1A) simple and slender, covered with short hairs and denser at apical tibial apices. Both terminal spurs of pro-tibiae (Fig. 2B), almost equal in length. Sternite VII (Fig. 2G) wide and truncate, slightly acute at middle, with 4 long setae near apical margin, the inner two longer than the two others. Median lobe of aedeagus as in Fig. 2D, ending in a blunt tip, with a spoon-shaped sclerite on endophallus; right paramere (Fig. 2E) arcuate, weakly expanded and rounded at apex, with long hair along apical margin; left paramere as in Fig. 3F, large, glabrous, and widely rounded at apex. Female. Unknown. Measurements. BL 3.09–3.25 mm; HL 0.71–0.76 mm, HW 0.70–0.73 mm; PL 0.53–0.55 mm, PW 0.78–0.82 mm; EL 1.85–1.94 mm, EW 1.31–1.37 mm; AnL 1.54–1.57 mm; MlL 0.71mm. Distribution. China: Hainan. Biological notes. All adults were collected in rotten wood; no association with ants detected (Fig. 3). Etymology. The new species is named after its type locality: the Yinggeling Nature Reserve. The local geographic name “Yinggeling” means “a Mountain with many Parrots”. Notes on the type locality. Yinggeling Nature Reserve is located in the south centre of Hainan Island (109°11′27″– 109°34′06″E, 18°49′30″– 19°08′41″N), which is ~50464 hm 2 in total area and from 170 m to 1812 m in altitude. This nature reserve is the largest natural tropical rainforest in South China. With many effective protection means, the nature reserve maintained the original ecological environment; 96.03% of its surface is covered with forest.

Ratio elytral/ pronotal length = 6.9; ratio elytral/pronotal width = 1.4; ratio body length/elytral width = 4.0. Egg (Fig. 6F) elongate; ratio length/width = 4.7. Chorion (Fig. 6G) with surface sculpture not continuously reticulate but separately subcircular (diameter ca. 0.01 mm), and armed with tubercles or spines of different sizes. Micropylar end large and thick. Altogether, ca. 20 eggs were found in the female paratype. Differential diagnosis. The new species has rather unique appearance within the genus Tenomerga, the presence of bifid anterior angles of the pronotum in particular—a character shared with South African T. leucophaea only. The latter species differs from all other Tenomerga species by the aedeagal structure: the median lobe is almost as long as parameres, and it is rounded apically; the dorsal plate is only half the length of the median lobe; basal opening is very short. Hörnschemeyer (2009) doubted the assignment of T. leucophaea within the genus—he pointed out that T. leucophaea forms a distinct monophyletic clade together with Cupes capitatus Fabricius, 1801 and the genus Rhipsideigma Neboiss, 1984. On the other hand, Tenomerga angulinota sp. nov. has the apomorphies characterising the genus Tenomerga sensu Hörnschemeyer (2009): a short median lobe of the aedeagus, not reaching the base of the apical hooks; and a dorso-ventral notch at the apex of median lobe. In addition to body colour pattern and bifid anterior pronotal angles, it differs from all other Tenomerga species from the combination of the characters on P1, P2 and P3 of head, lateral margins of pronotum, longitudinal rows and interval elevations of elytra, abdominal tergite IX and bifurcate process, apical hooks, median lobe and dorsal plate of aedeagus, and setation of styli and valvifers. In addition, Tenomerga angulinota sp. nov. seems to be rather unique in characters on the egg. This structure is known only for a few Tenomerga species (Neboiss 1984; C.-B. Wang, unpublished data), in which the egg chorion has the surface sculpture continuously reticulate, without tubercles or spines or armed with minute tubercles or spines; the micropylar end is small and globular. But in the new species, the chorion has surface sculpture consisting of well separated subcircles, armed with tubercles or spines of different size; and the micropylar end is large and thick. Etymology. The specific epithet refers to the peculiar shape of the pronotal angles. It is an adjective in the nominative singular. Collecting circumstances. Attracted to lights. Distribution. Known so far only from the type locality in Houaphanh [= Houaphan] Province, northeastern Laos.

La1-xMgxNi4.25Al0.75 (x=0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3) hydrogen storage alloys were prepared by a three-step induction melting. Their crystal structures and hydrogen storage properties were investigated. Results show that alloys with x=0.0 and 0.1 contain a single LaNi4Al phase; however, those with x=0.2 and 0.3 are composed of LaNi4Al, (La, Mg)Ni3 and AlNi3 phases. With x increasing from 0.2 to 0.3, the abundances of the secondary phases and the plateau pressures in the pressure-composition isotherms are lifted significantly. Meanwhile, their hydrogen storage capacities are remarkably reduced. It is found that the alloy with x=0.1 possesses the fastest absorption kinetics compared to the others as well as a good hydrogen capacity and a low plateau pressure.

Pronotum with ratio of length / width = 1.02, disc slightly convex and sparsely punctate; each side convex posteriorly, surface with wrinkles, especially distinct near anterior and posterior margins. Stridulatory organ (Fig. 3 D) subtrapezoidal, surface glabrous, but with dense, fine, transverse stridulatory file. Scutellum (Fig. 3 D) ligulate, concave at middle, surface glabrous but microreticulate. Elytra 4.2 times longer than humeral width, narrowing towards apices; apices narrowly rounded; disc punctate and with coarse grain. Profemora stouter than meso- and metafemora.

Endophallus with rod anchor-shaped at base (Fig. 4 G). Female. Unknown. Distribution. China (Guangxi). Etymology. The specific epithet is dedicated to Dr. Carolus Holzschuh, famous Cerambycidae taxonomist, for his erection of the genus Meiyingia and kind assistance with our study. Remarks. The species in the genus Meiyingia Holzschuh strongly resemble each other, however, characteristics of the pronotum provide good criteria to distinguish them: in M. holzschuhi sp. nov., the pronotum is reddish-brown, moderately wide, with a boldfaced T-shaped pronotal spot, almost reaching basal margin along median line; in M. paradoxa Holzschuh, the pronotum is reddish-brown, relatively narrow, with an inverted subtrapezoidal pronotal spot, reaching the basal margin along median line; in M. jinyunensis Li & Chen, the pronotum is yellowish-brown, relatively wide, with a subrounded pronotal spot, margins poorly defined, at apical half of median line. It is worth noting that Li et al. (2015) used the colour of elytra luster in their key to distinguish species. When we received the holotype of M. holzschuhi sp. nov., which has a green elytral luster, we noticed that this colour unexpectedly and irreversibly changed to a blue elytral luster, after contact with a low concentration of EtOH solution. Because of this variability, we decided not to use the colour of elytra luster in our key to species.

The small body size is probably due to malnutrition during larval stage. Female paratype (Figs. 1 E, F). Similar to male in general appearance. Meso- & metatibia without calcars. Sternum IV with lateral pits distinctly larger than that on sterna III & V. Sternum VI with transverse sulci dilated laterally. Etymology. The specific epithet is dedicated to Dr. Xi Jin-Ping, the President of the People's Republic of China, for his leadership making our motherland stronger and stronger. Distribution. China (Hainan). Diagnosis This new species well resembles R. (T.) rimoganensis (Miwa) in general appearance, but it is easily to distinguish it from the latter by the combination of the following characteristics: in R. (T.) xii sp. nov., antenna without basal setae (only antennomere X with one or two), pronotal anterior median pit with subequal width to posterior median pit, metasternum with median sulcus, sternum VI without any tubercles; while in R. (T.) rimoganensis (Miwa), antenna with sparse basal setae on antennomeres VIII���X, pronotal anterior median pit wider than posterior median pit, metasternum without median sulcus, sternum VI with a pair of tubercles. Additionally, for members in the R. (T.) singularis species-group, only the new species and R. bipunctatus Bell & Bell have complete median sulcus on metasternum, but it is easily to distinguish them from the Key 3 above., Published as part of Wang, Cheng-Bin, 2016, Rhyzodiastes (Temoa na) xii sp. nov.

Habitus (Fig. 2 E) elongated oval, regularly convex and sublustrous. Moderately pigmented: mostly chestnut brown; mouthparts, basal two antennomeres and apical half of ultimate antennomere, area near hind corners of pronotum, elytral apices, and tarsi more or less yellowish. Dorsum continually covered with fine, recumbent, sallow pubescence. Insertions of pubescence on elytra aligned along transverse striolations. Head retractile, HW/HL = 1.28. Surface covered with strong round punctures, separated about 1.5 ���3.0 times of their diameter. Clypeofrontal suture distinct. Clypeus transverse, anterior margin subrounded. Compound eyes well developed, EW/HW = 0.10. Antennae (Fig. 4 A) very long and slender, AL/HW = 1.78; all antennomeres longer than wide except 8 th; length of 2 th/ 3 th = 1.15; 11 th rather long, pear-like. Pronotum (Fig. 4 D) transverse, widest behind middle, PW/PL = 1.64. Sides fairly curved, strongly narrowing forward and moderately narrowing backward from widest; hind corners bluntly rounded and slightly protruded. Posterior edge slightly bisinuate. Surface covered with very large and rough punctures, separated about 0.5 ���2.0 times of their diameter, some of them even confluent; interspaces smooth, without visable microsculpture. Posterolateral impressions absent. Elytra oval and very elongated, widest at about basal 1 / 3, ELL/EW = 1.42. Sides regularly curved, gradually narrowing from widest to apices; apices much narrowly rounded (Fig. 4 E). Sculpture of type ��a�� (sensu Giachino & Vailati, 1993): transverse striolations well-marked and irregular, longitudinal striae invisible. When immersed in glycerine, large primitive punctures visible within interior of cuticule, arranging into 8 irregular longitudinal rows (imperceptible in dry specimens) (Fig. 2 G). Sutural striae present but inconspicuous. Interspaces of striolations with microtrichiae, aligning into ca. 5 transverse lines. Metathoracic wings fully developed. Prolegs slender, with basal three protarsomeres weakly expanded (Fig. 4 B): TW/BTW = 1.34. Protibiae with outer margin almost straight, while inner margin slightly expanded around middle. Profemora wider than protibiae. Mesotibiae distinctly curved, expansion of basal two mesotarsomeres imperceptible. Metatibiae straight. Genital segment (Fig. 4 G) as typical for the genus, tergite IX with 4 setae long and strong, as well as several fine setae apically. Aedeagus with median lobe moderately wide, weakly widened to subapex and then narrowed towards a bifid apex in dorsal view (Fig. 4 H), apical indentation deep but not very wide, and both branches obliquely truncated and subacute at apex. Paramere constricted subapically, apex expanded, subrounded and bearing 5 setae, their arrangement as shown in Figs. 4 K&L. In lateral view, median lobe gently bent ventrad at apical part, parameres very wide and turned ventrad at apex (Fig. 4 J). Endophallus of holotype everted, with a pair of spine rows on dorsal wall, abundant long spines at apical part, and a pair of large teeth pointing downwards at end (Figs. 4 H���J). Female. Similar to male in general appearance (Fig. 2 F), but can be distinguished from following characteristics: pro- and mesotarsi simply linear (Fig. 4 C); ventrite VIII with spiculum ventrale short and subrounded anteriorly (Fig. 4 F). Distribution. China (Sichuan). Etymology. The specific epithet is from the Chinese name (Pinyin) of the type locality ���Sichuan���, a province in China. Remarks. This new species also closely allied to A. ruzickai Perreau, A. wolongianus Perreau, as well as A. perreaui sp. nov., but it is easily to distinguish it from the latter three by the combination of the following characteristics: antennomere length of 2 th/ 3 th = 1.15; aedeagus with median lobe moderately wide, weakly widened to subapex and then narrowed towards apex when viewed dorsally, apical indentation deep but not very wide, and both branches obliquely truncated and subacute at apex; paramere constricted subapically, apex expanded, subrounded when viewed dorsally, and very wide and turned ventrad at apex when viewed laterally; each paramere with 5 setae at apex, 3 inner and 2 outer., Published as part of Wang, Cheng-Bin & Zhou, Hong-Zhang, 2016, Two new species of the Anemadus taiwanus species-group (Coleoptera: Leiodidae: Cholevinae: Anemadini) from China, pp. 282-290 in Zootaxa 4072 (2) on page 288, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4072.2.9, http://zenodo.org/record/264448, {"references":["Giachino, P.

Etymology. The specific epithet is dedicated to Dr. Jan R&uring;&zcaron;i&ccaron;ka (Czech University of Life Sciences, Prague, Czech Republic), a famous specialist on Agyrtidae, Silphidae and Leiodidae, for his kind help to our study. Distribution. China (Sichuan).

Sinocatops gen. nov. Type species: Sinocatops ruzickai sp. nov. Description. This new genus with sexual dimorphism: male rather narrow which is rarely seen in Cholevini, while female are wider and stout. Body size small; body shape elongate, regularly convex; dorsum continually clothed with homogeneous fine and recumbent pubescence, interspaces without microsculpture, smooth. Head distinctly wider than long; clypeofrontal suture absent. Maxillary palps with 3rd palpomere distinctly dilated; 4th feebly arched, shorter than 3rd. Labial palps with 3rd palpomere more than twice as long as 2nd. Antennae long and slender, AL just a little more than twice of HW. Pronotum subcampanulate and transverse, widest around middle; sides regularly narrowed forward from widest and weakly constricted before hind corners; hind corners rounded, protruding backward; surface without depression in each latero-basal area. Elytra tightly fused with each other; sutural striae absent; epipleura commonly narrow. Metathoracic wings absent. Tibiae with smooth outer spurs; male with basal three protarsomeres strongly expanded and 1 st mesotarsomere moderately expanded. Aedeagus symmetrical, with filiform parameres reached about apical 2/5 of median lobe; endophallus without apical tooth. Female ventrite VIII with spiculum ventrale; ovipositor with minute stylus. Distribution. China (Sichuan). Etymology. The new genus name is derived from the Latin prefix “ sino -”, which means “Chinese” and “ catops ”, a genus name in the same subtribe Catopina. The gender is masculine. Diagnosis. Sinocatops undoubtedly belongs to the subtribe Catopina Chaudoir, 1845 by the combination of following characters: clypeofrontal suture absent, outer tibial spurs smooth, parameres filiform, male 1 st mesotarsomere moderately expanded and female spiculum ventrale present on ventrite VIII. Within this subtribe, as mentioned in the Introduction, five known genera have the phenomenon of loss of metathoracic wings: Apterocatops Miyama, 1985, Catops Paykull, 1798, Cholevinus Reitter, 1901, Dzungarites Jeannel, 1936 and Rybinskiella Reitter, 1906. The new genus can be distinguished from all of them by sexual dimorphism (male rather narrow; female wider and stout); body size small (EBL: 3.20 mm); pronotum subcampanulate and transverse, widest around middle, sides weakly constricted before hind corners; elytra without sutural striae. However, Sinocatop looks quite like a mini version of Rybinskiella, its body shape bears close resemblance to some species of the latter genus; common characters also include subcampanulate pronotum, fused elytra and loss of metathoracic wings. We compared them in detail with some selected but important morphological characters to show the differences (Table 1), from which we can see the new genus has following characters distinctly different from two Rybinskiella species at generic level: EBL considerably smaller; whole dorsum without microsculpture, smooth (×270); head distinctly wider than long, ratio approximate 1.30; maxillary palps with 3rd palpomere distinctly dilated; labial palps with 3rd palpomere more than twice as long as 2nd; AL just a little more than twice of HW; pronotum without depression in each latero-basal area; metendosternite with length of stalk much shorter than width of furcal arm; elytral epipleura commonly narrow; endophallus without apical tooth.
