E01A7624E829FFA66E9D599FBA03FB49.taxon	description	G e o g r a p h i c a l d i s t r i b u t i o n The species, described from Zhejiang (Tianmu Shan) (BORDONI 2009 d), is known from this county only. This is the first subsequent record of the species since it was described. N o t e: The genus Achmonia BORDONI 2004 (= Daolus BORDONI 2004) was described for a species from Java. By studying species of Thyreocephalus, I realized that some of them should be transferred to the genus Achmonia. The genus Achmonia seems to have a distribution similar to that of Thyreocephalus, even if the currently known species are still few. This genus is kown until now from NE India, Nepal, Sikkim, Bhutan, Burma, Thailand, Laos, Malaysia, Java, Taiwan, Australia, and China: Zhejiang (BORDONI 2012 c). In these pages the genus Achmonia is cited also from Yunnan, Hainan and Jiangxi.	en	Bordoni, A. (2013): New data on the Xantholinini from China. 24.

In China the genus Medhiama BORDONI 2002 is represented by the following species: M. pauper (SHARP 1889), descibed four time from Japan, Nepal, India, China (Chinkiang), and cited also from Yunnan, Shaanxi, Jiangsu, Taiwan (BORDONI 2002, 2003); M. wallstromi BORDONI, 2003 (Yunnan), M. zhengi BORDONI 2003 (Sichuan), M. puetzi BORDONI 2003 (Sichuan), M. sichuanica BORDONI 2003 (Sichuan), M. shanica BORDONI 2004 (Sichuan), M. lanzhouensis BORDONI 2004 (Gansu), M. rhododendri BORDONI 2007 (Yunnan), M. xiaolongmensis ZHOU & ZHOU 2012 (Bejing), M. liupanshanensis ZHOU & ZHOU 2012 (Ningxia), M. nigromagna ZHOU & ZHOU 2012 (Sichuan) (cfr. also ZHOU & ZHOU 2012). Some other species have a doubtful taxonomic state because described on females: M. densicephala (BERNHAUER 1938) (North China), M. densiceps (BERNHAUER 1933) (Szetchwan), M. kochi (BERNHAUER 1940) (N.

E01A7624E83CFFB26E9D5E8CBBBBFD31.taxon	materials_examined	Type species: Sinichella chengkou nov. sp. D e s c r i p t i o n: The new genus differs from the other genera of Xantholinini from the Palaearctic and Oriental regions by the somultaneous presence of the following characters: superior epipleural line of pronotum not joint with the inferior line; maxillary palpi with last segment wide to the base about as the previous segment one and longer than it (Fig. 85); labial palpi with long segments, the last longer and narrower than the previous one (Fig. 86); gular sutures longly contiguous; antisternal plate with suture; mandibles with a wide lateral groove; antennae with 2 ° article scarcely longer than 3 °; frontal grooves evident; ocular grooves superficial with some punctures; labrum bilobed; surface of head without micro-sculpture, with sparse micro-puncturation and deep, dense puncturation; pronotum with dorsal and lateral series; metatibiae with the apical ctenidium only; anterior tarsi a little dilated; male genital segment with characteristic tergite and sternite; aedeagus of particular shape, with long, symmetrical parameres. N o t e: This genus is related to the genera Indolinus BORDONI 2002 and Edulia BORDONI 2007 a, for the external characters, following the dichotomic key of the genera from the Oriental Region (BORDONI 2002). Sinichella differs also from all the palaearctic genera. E t y m o l o g y: The generic name refers to China.

Very similar to A. xizang nov. sp. from which is hardly distinguishable on the basis of external characters. Body smaller, yellowish colouration less evident, smaller head, less oblique anterior angles of pronotum, legs less diaphanous. Posterior margin of 6 ° visible abdominal tergite protruding, with two lateral, short lobules (Fig. 112); posterior margin of 6 ° visible abdominal sternite largely rounded (Fig. 113). Tergite and sternite of the male genital segment as in Figs 114 - 115. Aedeagus (Fig. 116) 1,48 mm long, with long, asymmertical pseudoparameres; inner sac with a long distal spine and some median spines and big scales. E t y m o l o g y: Patronymic. Dedicated to Liang Tang, friend and colleague, which gave me in study the material object of this contribution. G e o g r a p h i c a l d i s t r i b u t i o n: The species is known only from the type localities, in Tibet. N o t e: I propose the figure of the aedeaagus of the holotype and paratype (Figs 116 - 117). They might seem belonging to two different species. In fact, the conformation and arrangement of the spines of the inner sac can vary from one specimen to another, being a mobile structure, stiffened in that position at the time of death. The identification must also take account of the other sexual characters: 6 ° visible abdominal tergite and sternite, male genital segment, size of the aedeagus, shape of the pseudoparameres. For some characters of the aedeagus, this species is closely related to A. subnigroaeneus COIFFAIT 1982 from Nepal and W Bengala (BORDONI 2002).	en	Bordoni, A.

Body without micro-sculpture. Head black; pronotum, elytra and abdomen reddish brown dark; antennae and legs brown; yellowish tarsi. Head sub-rectangular, with almost rectilinear sides and largely rounded posterior angles. Eyes medium-sized and very protruding. Surface of head with 4 fine punctures between the eyes; puncturation fine and very sparse, almost only on the sides. Pronotum a little longer and narrower than head, with oblique anterior margins, very largely rounded anterior angles, and sinuate sides. Surface with dorsal series of 9 - 10 deep punctures and lateral series of 7 - 8 punctures. Elytra large, as long as pronotum, wider than it, with marked humeral angles.

Reddish brown, characterized by head with fine, deep, dense puncturation on all the surface; pronotum with deep, dense punturation, apart a narrow median strip; elytra with fine, deep punturation, arranged in numerous series. Head dilated posteriad; eyes small and a little protruding. Head, pronotum and elytra with almost the same lenght. Elytra with rounded humeral angles. Posterior margin of 6 ° visible abdominal tergite with a small median lobe; posterior margin of 6 ° visible abdominal sternite scarcely rounded. Male genital segment as in Fig. 134; sternite of the same as in Fig. 135. Aedeagus (Fig. 136) 1,66 mm long, subspherical, with asymmetric, short pseudoparameres; inner sac with some series of thin spines. E t y m o l o g y: The specific epithet refers to the Latin subruber- a- um (reddish). G e o g r a p h i c a l d i s t r i b u t i o n: The species is known only from the type locality, in Yunnan. N o t e: This specie differs from the congeners by the particular puncturation of the forebody and aedeagus.	en	Bordoni, A. (2013): New data on the Xantholinini from China. 24.
