Name
Bolitogyrus cyanipennis (Zheng, 1988) – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Cyrtothorax cyanipennis Zheng, 1988: 306.
- Bolitogyrus cyanipennis: Cai et al. 2015[1].
Type locality
Wolong National Nature Reserve, Sichuan, China.
Type material
The type series of this recently well-illustrated (Cai et al. 2015[1]) species was not examined.
Diagnosis
Among the members of the Electus Group: many head punctures confluent (Fig. 3F); elytra bright metallic blue-green; paramere only weakly constricted in basal third (9A), median lobe not or barely visible in parameral view (Fig. 9A); peg setae with median group not extended basad of marginal group (Fig. 9C); apex of median lobe in lateral view forming an elongate triangle (Fig. 9B), in parameral view forming an approximately 90-degree angle (Fig. 9D).
Distribution
Figure 19B. Known only from the type locality in central Sichuan, China.
Bionomics
A recently collected specimen was found in August at an unknown elevation.
Comments
Bolitogyrus cyanipennis cannot be externally distinguished from the allopatric B. kitawakii but differs by the differently shaped paramere, arrangement of peg setae and longer apex of the median lobe.
