Bolitogyrus hainanensis Cai et al., 2015 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Bolitogyrus hainanensis Cai et al., 2015: 457.
Type locality
Mt. Yingge Ling [base of], Hainan, China.
Type material
The type series of this recently described, and well-illustrated species was not examined (Cai et al. 2015[1]).
Diagnosis
This species may be recognized by the following: head entirely dark; pronotum widest in posterior third; elytra partly dark, discal markings of elytra extending onto epipleuron, not forming v-shape, medial and lateral markings of different sizes and never entirely fused (Fig. 5G); hind femur with dark marking on ventral portion only (as in Fig. 2C; antennomere 7 distinctly transverse (Fig. 6F).
Distribution
Figure 22B. This species may be endemic to Hainan island, China.
Bionomics
Specimens have been collected in November and December at elevations ranging from 450-666 m.
Comments
Except for one, much larger, member of the Carnifex Group, B. hainanensis is presently the only species of Bolitogyrus on Hainan island, China. Bolitogyrus hainanensis is externally similar to B. vulneratus and B. pecki but differs by the bilobed paramere, presence of a medial group of peg setae and the recurved apex of the median lobe in lateral view.
