Detailed description of Intestinarius kuzmini refers to Kurbatov 2007[1]: 283–284. Additional illustrations of the following major diagnostic characters are provided. Male: head and pronotum (Fig. 4), left antenna (Fig. 7), modified mesotibia (Fig. 10) and metatrochanter (Fig. 13), tergite VII (Fig. 23–24), tergite VIII (Fig. 25), sternite VIII (Fig. 26), sternite IX (Fig. 27) and aedeagus (Figs 28–30). Female: tergite VIII (Fig. 41), sternite VIII (Fig. 42) and genitalia (Figs 47–48).
Distribution
Known from Meng-yang and Na-ban-he Nature Reserves of Yunnan Province, Southwest China.
Remarks
Intestinarius kuzmini is similar to its Chinese congeners with respect to the sexually modified tergite VII and metatrochanter. Male of this species may be distinguished by having long apical tooth on mesotibiae, by the shape of modified metatrochanter and by the shape of aedeagus; females may be identified based on the shape of tergite VIII, sternite VIII and genitalia.
Seven females out of nine studied have tergite VII with short, blunt to long, sharp median protuberance, but all morphological characters including genitalia are identical also with those two specimens lacking modified tergite VII. Thus, we believe that in some species of Intestinarius, females are most probably polymorphic in this character. (see also remarks under Intestinarius guangdongensis).
