Antennae short; relative length of each antennomere from 1 to 11: 24.0: 17.0: 17.0: 10.0: 10.0: 10.0: 10.0: 10.0: 11.0: 12.0: 21.0; relative width of each antennomere from 1 to 11: 7.0: 8.0: 8.0: 9.0: 10.0: 11.0: 11.0: 12.0: 13.0: 13.0: 12.0. Pronotum wider than long (PW / PL = 1.20); dorsal rows each with one puncture close to anterior margin; surface without microsculpture. Scutellum impunctate, with traces of fine microsculpture of transverse waves at base. Elytra vaguely wider (EW / PW = 1.09) than pronotum, at suture vaguely (ELs / PL = 1.05), at lateral margins slightly (ELm / PL = 1.19) longer than pronotum at midline; each elytron with two slightly irregular longitudinal rows formed by four punctures, with longer setae in punctures; surface without microsculpture. Wings fully developed. Abdominal tergite 7 with whitish apical seam of palisade fringe; all tergites with fine and dense punctation, and dark brown pubescence; surface between punctures with fine and dense microsculpture of transverse waves. Male. Basal four tarsomeres markedly dilated, sub-bilobed, each with tenent setate ventrally; Sternite 8 (Fig. 2) with two long, thick lateral setae; with wide, obtusely triangular medio-apical emargination; sternite 9 (Fig. 3) slightly emarginate medio-apically, with single long seta at each side of emargination; tergite 10 (Fig. 4) distinctly emarginate medio-apically, with one or two thick setae at each side of emargination and with one additional long seta. Aedeagus (Fig. 5, 6) with median lobe subparallel-sided in middle portion, then conically narrowed into acute apex. Paramere very small, reduced into a triangular thin sheet; lacking setae and sensory peg setae. Inner sac with large sclerites, as in Fig. 7. Female. Basal four segments of front tarsus similar to those of male. Tergite 10 (Fig. 8) gradually narrowed toward minutely emarginate apex, with seven long, strong setae at apical margin.	en	Hu, Jiayao, Li, Lizhen, Zhao, Meijun (2012): Quwatanabius Smetana — a new genus in the fauna of the Mainland China (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae), with description of two new species.

9833879CF847FF90FF33F96DDEA1FE2A.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The new species may be distinguished from the similar Qu. flavicornis (Sharp, 1889), in addition to the characters of the aedoeagus, by the dark brown elytra and by the male sternite 8 bearing triangular medio-apical emargination. In Qu. flavicornis basal 1 / 3 of elytra is reddish brown, male sternite 8 bears round medio-apical emargination, and shape of the aedoeagus is different.	en	Hu, Jiayao, Li, Lizhen, Zhao, Meijun (2012): Quwatanabius Smetana — a new genus in the fauna of the Mainland China (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae), with description of two new species.
