Holotype: male (SNUC), China: Guangdong Prov., Shaoguan City, Nanling N. R., 17-VIII-2010, Lizhen LI leg. Paratypes: 2 females (SNUC, ASC), same data as in holotype.</p><p>Description. BL 4.9–5.8 mm; FL 2.3–2.8 mm.</p><p>Body (Fig. 1) dark brown; mouthparts and appendages brown; front margin of pronotum and apical margin of each abdominal tergite reddish brown.</p><p>Head slightly wider than long (HW/HL = 1.27); eyes small, slightly convex (TL/EyL = 1.10); no additional setiferous punctures between anterior frontal punctures; one additional setiferous puncture behind anterior frontal puncture at posterio-medial margin of eye; posterior frontal puncture situated almost midway between posterio-median margin of eye and posterior margin of head; two additional setiferous punctures between posterior frontal puncture and posterior margin of head; temporal puncture situated distinctly closer to posterior margin of head than to posterior margin of eye; surface of head without microsculpture. 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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>Distribution. The new species is known only from the type locality in Southern China (Guangdong).</p><p>Etymology. The specific name is dedicated to our deceased colleague, Yan-bin Zhai, who died so young in an accident during the recent collecting trip to Guangxi.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/9833879CF847FF90FF33F96DDEA1FE2A	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

BL 5.3 mm; FL 2.6 mm.</p><p>Similar to Q. yanbini, but differs in the following characters:</p><p>Pronotal disc and abdominal tergites 3 and 4 (first two visible) reddish brown (Fig. 9).</p><p>Male. Sternite 8 (Fig. 10) with narrow, rather shallow, subarcuate medio-apical emargination; sternite 9 (Fig. 11) with apex narrowly arcuate; tergite 10 (Fig. 12) irregularly subtruncate apically. Aedeagus (Fig. 13, 14) small; median lobe gradually narrowed anteriad, with subacute apex. Paramere reduced into a triangular thin sheet, extending to the apical 1/3 of median lobe; lacking setae and sensory peg setae; inner sac as in Fig. 15.</p><p>Female. Unknown.</p><p>Remarks. The new species may be distinguished from the similar Qu. flavicornis by the dark brown elytra, by the male sternite 9 with the narrowly arcuate apex, and by the male tergite 10 apically not emarginated.</p><p>Distribution. Known only from the type locality in Eastern China (Zhejiang).</p><p>Etymology. The specific epithet is derived from the type locality.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/9833879CF845FF91FF33FDBFDFECFE09	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
