Ordo: Coleoptera

Genus: Derops
Name
Derops punctipennis Schülke, 2003 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Derops punctipennis Schülke 2003[1]: 471.
Specimens examined
(4 ♂♂, 5 ♀♀). 2 ♂♂, 2 ♀♀, labelled ‘China: Zhejiang Prov. / Anji County / Mt. Longwangshan / 24.iv.2006, alt. 300–500 m / Liang Tang leg.’; 1 ♂, 1 ♀, labelled ‘China: Zhejiang Prov. / Linan City / Qingliangfeng Nature Reserve / 10.v.2005, alt. 1,080 m / Li-Long Zhu & Jin-Wen Li leg.’; 1 ♀, same, but ‘9.v.2005, alt. 1,050–1,070 m’; 1 ♂, 1 ♀, labeled ‘China: Zhejiang Prov. / Xianju County / Danzhu Village / 2.vi.2006, alt. 450–600 m / Jin-Wen Li & Shan-Jia Shen leg.’.
Description
Measurements. BL: 4.56–6.06; FL: 2.98–3.39.
Female. Tergite VIII (Fig. 4F) with wide and very deep, acute triangular medio-apical emargination, one very long, strong, black seta at apical margin at each side of medio-apical ernargination. Sternite VIII (Fig. 4G) broadly emarginate eat the middle of posterior margin and bearing six or seven yellowish cilia at the latero-posterior parts.
Distribution
China: Fujian, Zhejiang.
Remarks
The species was previously described based on male specimens from Fujian Prov., and this is the first record of its female. It is very similar to Derops smetanai Schülke, from Fujian (Schülke 2003[1]: 467, figs 1–9). Males may be readily distinguished by the shape of sternite VII emargination and by evenly narrowed, slightly bend to obtuse apices of aedeagus lateral lobes. Females may be easily distinguished by the shape of tergite VIII emargination.
