Each paratype with an additional yellow label: "Paratype, Chlaenius (Lithochlaenius) linwensini Liu & Liang sp. n."".

Diagnosis

Antennomere 1 coniform (Fig. 53); all antennomeres concolorous; basal two-thirds of intervals 1–5 glabrous medially, with irregular setae laterally (Fig. 81); lamella of aedeagus subtruncate at apex (Fig. 119), thickened and bent ventrally (Fig. 120).

Description

Total length = 14.50–16.50 mm (mean = 15.71), width = 5.33–5.87 mm (mean = 5.60); HW = 2.40–2.85 mm (mean = 2.71), EYL = 1.00–1.15 mm (mean = 1.05), ratio Ant3/Ant1= 1.37–1.61 (mean = 1.50), PL/PW = 0.82–0.90 (mean = 0.86), EL/EW = 1.67–1.81 (mean = 1.76), EL/ PL = 1.27–1.41 (mean = 1.35).
Head and pronotum black, with green or coppery metallic luster; elytra black; ventral surface black; antennae, palpi, femora, and tibiae brown; mandibles, trochanters, and tarsi dark brown.
Head with vertex smooth medially, coarsely punctate and sparsely pubescent behind eye; labrum slightly emarginate at apex; antennomere 1 strongly coniform (Fig. 53). Pronotum with disk smooth medially, very sparsely punctate and pubescent along the middle line; lateral furrow very sparsely punctate; basal foveae small, deep, coarsely punctate and sparsely pubescent. Elytral intervals convex, basal two-thirds of intervals 1–5 glabrous medially, with irregularly arranged setae laterally (Fig. 81), apical one-third of intervals 1–5 sparsely pubescent medially, intervals 6–9 densely pubescent; striae deep, punctate; humeral angle obtuse (Fig. 67). Abdominal sterna IV–VI sparsely pubescent medially, densely pubescent laterally; sternum VII broadly rounded apically in male, narrowly truncate apically in female (Figs 96–97). Lamella of aedeagus truncate at apex (Fig. 119), thick and bent ventrally (Fig. 120).

Etymology

The Latinized namelinwensini refers to Mr. Lin Wensin, an excellent insect collector who died during a recent collecting trip to Hainan, China.

Geographical distribution

Fig. 158. Known only from Fujian Province, China.

Remarks

Mensural data cited in the description were obtained from the holotype and all paratypes.
Male members of this species are similar to those of Chlaenius formosensis in the shape of the lamella of aedeagus, but males and females differ from those of the latter in having antennomere 1 coniform (cylindrical in Chlaenius formosensis), elytral intervals 6–7 pubescent throughout (glabrous medially in Chlaenius formosensis), and males have the aedeagus convex ventrally in the middle portion (straight in Chlaenius formosensis males).
