Coloration: body black, except for a subcircular and defined reddish-yellow spot near posterior margin of each elytron, this spot reaching neither posterior nor lateral elytral margins; legs blackish with reddish tarsi; antennae reddish-brown to brown. Head (Fig. 2) approximately as broad as long; posterior angles broadly rounded, weakly marked; punctation areolate and extremely dense, except for the (nearly) impunctate frons and a sparsely punctate or impunctate transverse patch on vertex; interstices in lateral and posterior portions reduced to narrow ridges.

F358879B2104FF96B1DCFC8F8B4FFC12.taxon	discussion	Comparative notes: Based on the external (punctation of head, broad and short pronotum, elytra with defined reddish-yellow posterior spot, etc.) and particularly the similar male sexual characters (shapes and chaetotaxy of sternites VII and VIII; ventral process of aedeagus blade-shaped and ventrally with carinae and / or tooth-like projections; dorsal plate of aedeagus short and with more or less tooth-shaped posterior process), L. cavatum is closely allied to L. kleebergi ASSING 2012 (central and eastern Nepal), L. guttula (FAUVEL 1895) (Myanmar), L. sinuatum ASSING 2012 (central Nepal), and L. bicarinatum ASSING 2012 (N-India, central Nepal). It is reliably distinguished from these species only by the shapes and chaetotaxy of the male sternite VII and VIII, by the shape of the ventral process of the aedeagus (outline in ventral view, shape of the ventral carinae, apex with dorsal projection), and by the shape of the dorsal plate of the aedeagus (in this respect most similar to L. kleebergi, L. sinuatum, and L. bicarinatum).

Coloration: head and pronotum blackish-brown; elytra brown; abdomen darkbrown with paler apex; legs and antennae reddish. Head (Fig. 8) 1.05 times as long as broad; posterior angles broadly rounded, almost obsolete; punctation areolate and extremely dense, somewhat sparser on frons; interstices reduced to narrow ridges; dorsal surface matt, except for frons. Eyes of moderate size, approximately one third as long as distance from posterior margin of eye to neck. Antenna 2.5 mm long. Pronotum (Fig. 8) 1.35 times as long as broad and approximately 0.95 times as broad as head, distinctly tapering posteriad, strongly convex in cross-section; punctation dense and coarser than that of head; interstices much narrower than diameter of punctures; impunctate midline rather narrow.

F358879B210FFF99B1DCFB6D89A0FC45.taxon	discussion	Comparative notes: Based on the similar habitus and above all on the similarly derived shape and chaetotaxy of the male sternite VII and the morphology of the aedeagus, L. emeimontis is closely allied to L. cholaicum from southeastern Tibet and L. daxuense from Sichuan. It is readily distinguished from both species by the considerably denser punctation of the head, the distinctly more transverse male sternite VII, the different chaetotaxy of the male sternite VIII, and on the much longer and more slender ventral process of the aedeagus. The shape of the ventral process somewhat resembles that of the wing-dimorphic L. duplex from Sichuan, from which L. emeimontis is distinguished by shorter antennae, denser punctation of the head, the different chaetotaxy of the male sternite VII, the more extensive median impression of the male sternite VIII, the distinctly longer ventral process of the aedeagus, slightly smaller body size, and the paler coloration of the legs and antennae.

Head (Fig. 14) 1.08 times as long as broad and of oval shape; posterior angles obsolete; punctation areolate and extremely dense, sparser on frons; interstices reduced to narrow ridges; dorsal surface matt, except for frons. Eyes of moderate size, approximately one third as long as distance from posterior margin of eye to neck. Antenna rather long and slender, 2.3 mm long. Pronotum (Fig. 14) 1.35 times as long as broad and 0.86 times as broad as head, distinctly tapering posteriad, strongly convex in cross-section; punctation of irregular density and coarser than that of head; impunctate midline moderately broad. Elytra (Fig. 14) 0.78 times as long as pronotum and slender; humeral angles weakly marked; punctation coarser than that of pronotum and dense; interstices without microsculpture. Hind wings reduced. Protarsomeres I-IV strongly dilated. Abdomen distinctly broader than elytra; punctation fine and very dense; interstices with shallow microsculpture; posterior margin of tergite VII with palisade fringe. ♂: sternite VII (Fig. 15) moderately transverse and with shallow, small median impression posteriorly, posterior margin broadly concave; sternite VIII (Fig. 16) transverse and with small median impression posteriorly, this impression with relatively few strongly modified, short and stout black setae, posterior excision rather deep and broadly Ushaped; aedeagus (Figs 17 - 18) 0.75 mm long; ventral process relatively short and bladeshaped; dorsal plate long and somewhat bisinuate in lateral view; internal sac with large, curved, dark membranous structure basally.	en	Assing, V.

F358879B210DFF9FB1DCFC098A29FEFD.taxon	discussion	Comparative notes: Based on the similar habitus and above all on the similarly derived male sexual characters, L. dabaicum is closely related to L. cholaicum and allied species. It is distinguished from all of them by the shapes and chaetotaxy of the male sternites VII and VIII, by the coloration, and, except L. emeimontis, by the conspicuously dense punctation of the head.	en	Assing, V.

F358879B210DFF9FB1DCFC098A29FEFD.taxon	distribution	Distribution and natural history: The type locality is situated in the Da Shennongjia range in the eastern Daba Shan (Map 1) at an altitude between 1700 and 2500 m. Additional data are not available.	en	Assing, V. (2013): A revision of Palaearctic Lobrathium. IV.

F358879B210BFF9FB1DCFE408B87FB89.taxon	materials_examined	Comment: The original description is based on an unspecified number of syntypes, among them at least one male, from " Japan: Unzen bei Shimabara; Nordwestl. China: Chinkiang " (BERNHAUER 1938). Two female syntypes, which had been studied by V. I. Gusarov approximately 20 years ago, were located in the Bernhauer collection at the FMNH. Whether or not the type specimens from Japan and China are conspecific can be clarified only when the material from China is available for study. At present the whereabouts of this material, which may include the male seen by Bernhauer, is unknown. The two examined specimens from Japan clearly belong to Lobrathium, not to Lathrobium GRAVENHORST 1802. The supramarginal line of the elytra is distinct. According to Vladimir Gusarov´s identification labels attached to the specimens, L. cylindricum is conspecific with, and consequently a junior synonym of Lathrobium scabripenne SHARP 1874. However, before such a synonymy is proposed, the type material of L. scabripenne and the syntype material of L. cylindricum from China will have to be examined.	en	Assing, V.
