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

Diagnosis

Antennomere 1 coniform (Fig. 52); color of antennomere 1 yellow or brown; intervals 1–5 glabrous medially, with one row of pubescence laterally (Fig. 80); aedeagus stout, apical lamella round (Fig. 117), thin and straight in lateral view (Fig. 118).

Description

Total length = 16.0–17.0 mm (mean = 16.8), width = 5.60–6.13 mm (mean = 5.86); HW = 2.60–2.95 mm (mean = 2.82), EYL = 0.95–1.10 mm (mean = 1.03), ratio Ant3/Ant1 = 1.56–1.72 (mean = 1.64), PL/PW = 0.76–0.84 (mean = 0.81), EL/EW = 1.68–1.91 (mean = 1.79), EL/ PL = 1.37–1.49 (mean = 1.42).
Head and pronotum black with green or coppery metallic luster; elytra black; ventral surface black; mandibles and trochanters dark brown; antennomere 1, femora, tibiae yellow to brown; antennomeres 2–11, palpi and tarsi dark brown to nearly black.
Head with vertex smooth medially, coarsely punctate behind eyes; labrum slightly emarginate at apex; antennomere 1 coniform (Fig. 52). Pronotum with disk smooth, very sparsely punctate along midline in a few specimens; lateral furrow sparsely pubescent and coarsely punctate; medial longitudinal furrow deep, impunctate; basal foveae narrow, deep, sparsely pubescent and punctate. Elytral intervals convex, intervals 1–5 glabrous medially, with a row of setae laterally (Fig. 80), pubescent in apical one-fifth in a few specimens, intervals 6–9 pubescent throughout; striae deep, punctate; humeral angles obtuse (Fig. 66). Abdominal sterna IV–VI sparsely pubescent medially, densely pubescent laterally; sternum VII narrowly rounded apically in both sexes (Figs 94–95). Lamella of aedeagus round at apex (Fig. 117), thin and straight in lateral view (Fig. 118).

Etymology

The Latinized name chuanqianensis refers to type localities of this new species in "chuanqian” regions, of which "chuan” refers to Sichuan Province and "qian” refers to Guizhou Province).

Geographical distribution

Fig. 158. Known only from Guizhou and Sichuan Provinces, China.

Remarks

Mensural data cited in the description were obtained from the holotype and all paratypes.
Members of this species are most similar to those of Chlaenius wrasei in shape of antennomere 1 and elytral pubescence, but differ from the latter in color of antennomere 1 (paler than antennomere 3 in Chlaenius chuanqianensis, antennomeres 1 and 3 concolorous in Chlaenius wrasei) and orientation of the apical lamella of the aedeagus of males (straight in Chlaenius chuanqianensis, bent ventrally in Chlaenius wrasei).
They are also similar to Chlaenius leishanensis members in pubescence of elytral intervals, but different from the latter in having yellow tibiae (black or dark brown in Chlaenius leishanensis), and males have a thin aedeagal lamella of the aedeagus (lamella thick in Chlaenius leishanensis males).
