This new genus with sexual dimorphism: male rather narrow which is rarely seen in Cholevini, while female are wider and stout. Body size small; body shape elongate, regularly convex; dorsum continually clothed with homogeneous fine and recumbent pubescence, interspaces without microsculpture, smooth. Head distinctly wider than long; clypeofrontal suture absent. Maxillary palps with 3rd palpomere distinctly dilated; 4th feebly arched, shorter than 3rd. Labial palps with 3rd palpomere more than twice as long as 2nd. Antennae long and slender, AL just a little more than twice of HW. Pronotum subcampanulate and transverse, widest around middle; sides regularly narrowed forward from widest and weakly constricted before hind corners; hind corners rounded, protruding backward; surface without depression in each latero-basal area. Elytra tightly fused with each other; sutural striae absent; epipleura commonly narrow. Metathoracic wings absent. Tibiae with smooth outer spurs; male with basal three protarsomeres strongly expanded and 1 st mesotarsomere moderately expanded. Aedeagus symmetrical, with filiform parameres reached about apical 2/5 of median lobe; endophallus without apical tooth. Female ventrite VIII with spiculum ventrale; ovipositor with minute stylus.</p><p>Distribution. China (Sichuan).</p><p>Etymology. The new genus name is derived from the Latin prefix “ sino -”, which means “Chinese” and “ catops ”, a genus name in the same subtribe Catopina . The gender is masculine.</p><p>Diagnosis. Sinocatops undoubtedly belongs to the subtribe Catopina Chaudoir, 1845 by the combination of following characters: clypeofrontal suture absent, outer tibial spurs smooth, parameres filiform, male 1 st mesotarsomere moderately expanded and female spiculum ventrale present on ventrite VIII. Within this subtribe, as mentioned in the Introduction, five known genera have the phenomenon of loss of metathoracic wings: Apterocatops Miyama, 1985, Catops Paykull, 1798, Cholevinus Reitter, 1901, Dzungarites Jeannel, 1936 and Rybinskiella Reitter, 1906 . The new genus can be distinguished from all of them by sexual dimorphism (male rather narrow; female wider and stout); body size small (EBL: 3.20 mm); pronotum subcampanulate and transverse, widest around middle, sides weakly constricted before hind corners; elytra without sutural striae. However, Sinocatop looks quite like a mini version of Rybinskiella, its body shape bears close resemblance to some species of the latter genus; common characters also include subcampanulate pronotum, fused elytra and loss of metathoracic wings. We compared them in detail with some selected but important morphological characters to show the differences (Table 1), from which we can see the new genus has following characters distinctly different from two Rybinskiella species at generic level: EBL considerably smaller; whole dorsum without microsculpture, smooth (×270); head distinctly wider than long, ratio approximate 1.30; maxillary palps with 3rd palpomere distinctly dilated; labial palps with 3rd palpomere more than twice as long as 2nd; AL just a little more than twice of HW; pronotum without depression in each latero-basal area; metendosternite with length of stalk much shorter than width of furcal arm; elytral epipleura commonly narrow; endophallus without apical tooth.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/406D773F54360704FF27F8C7FB2FFAB5	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Male. EBL: 5.59 mm. Length of different body parts: HL: AL: PL: ELL = 0.89: 2.59: 1.23: 3.14 mm; width: HW: EW: PW: ELW = 1.02: 0.07: 1.75: 2.50 mm. Proportion of antennomeres from base to tip in µm (length × width): 224 × 116, 215 × 93, 272 × 105, 233 × 98, 214 × 97, 193 × 105, 182 × 134, 146 × 108, 165 × 139, 162 × 148, 273 × 142.</p><p>Habitus (Fig. 2C) elongate, not much convex and sublustrous; well pigmented: mostly brown; mouthparts, apical half of ultimate antennomere, and apical part of tarsi a little paler. Dorsum continually clothed with short, recumbent and sallow pubescence.</p><p>Head only slightly wider than long, HW/HL = 1.14. Surface covered with large and coarse punctures, separated about 1.0–2.0 times of their diameter, interspaces microreticulate. Clypeofrontal suture absent. Clypeus with substraight anterior margin. Compound eye built from ca. 57–62 ommatidia, EW/HW = 0.07. Antennae (Fig. 15A) long and slender, AL/HW = 2.55; all antennomeres longer than wide; length of 3rd/2nd = 1.26; 11th elongate pear-shape. Cervical sclerite with length/width = 1.80 in medial view (Fig. 4C).</p><p>Pronotum (Fig. 15B) transverse, widest around middle, PW/PL = 1.43. Sides regularly narrowed forward from widest and gently constricted before hind corners. Hind corners rounded, slightly protruding backward. Posterior margin slightly bisinuate, slightly emarginate behind hind corners. Surface covered with fine punctures, interspaces smooth, with shallow depression in each latero-basal area.</p><p>Elytra oval, incompletely fused with each other, widest at about basal 2/5, ELL/EW = 1.26. Sides regularly curved, evenly narrowing from widest to apex; apices (Fig. 15G) narrowly rounded. Sutural striae present. Surface covered with fine punctures, interspace smooth. Metathoracic wings absent.</p><p>Prolegs slender, with basal three protarsomeres (Fig. 15C) faintly expanded: TW/BTW = 1.30. Protibiae (Fig.</p><p>15E) almost simply and gradually expanded towards apex, without visible outer spines. Profemora without tubercle on inner side. Mesotibiae with inner margin slightly sinuate, 1 st mesotarsomere (Fig. 7C) moderately expanded. Metatibiae straight.</p><p>Abdominal ventrite VIII (Fig. 15I) with middle indentation at anterior edge, and narrowly emarginate at middle of posterior edge. Genital segment (Fig. 15J) with slender spiculum gastrale, and never expanded dorsoventrally (Fig. 15K); tergite IX rounded ventro-apically.</p><p>Aedeagus (Fig. 16A, B) with median lobe large and wide (length/width = 5.25), slightly undulate and subequal above base, apex much wide and gently emarginate in dorsal view; parameres filiform, reached about apical 2/5 of median lobe, each with two apical setae; basal lama short; ventral operculum with two wide lobes, each acuminated to a sharp apex. In lateral view, median lobe fairly bent ventrad, gradually tapering towards a dorsally upturned apex (Fig. 16C). Internal sac (Fig. 16A–C) with a huge fan-like tooth at apex, a pair of spine clusters in middle region, and abundant toothlets in basal region.</p><p>Female. Somewhat chubbier and duller than male in general appearance (Fig. 2D), and also can be distinguished from following characteristics: pro- &amp; mesotarsi simply linear (Fig. 15D); protibiae (Fig. 15F) simply slender, furnished outer spines; elytral apices (Fig. 15H) more acuminated, sutural angles weakly protruded; ventrite VII (Fig. 17A) slightly emarginate at posterior edge; tergite VIII (Fig. 17B) truncate in middle of posterior edge, desclerotized medioapically and laterally; ventrite VIII (Fig. 17C) regularly rounded at posterior edge, spiculum ventrale rather wide; tergite IX (Fig. 17D) rounded at posterior edge, with numerous setae posteriorly; ventral sclerite (Fig. 17F) broad and shovel-like, regularly rounded at posterior edge, without sensillae; valvifer (Fig. 17D, E) with 1 lateral seta; coxite (Fig. 17D, E) with 3 subapical, 1 lateral and 1 basolateral setae and some much finer surface setae (some setae missing in the examined specimen; more details see Fig. 20 in Růžička, 1994); stylus minute (Fig. 17D, E), cylindrical, with 1 long seta.</p><p>Distribution. Poland, Romania, Ukraine.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/406D773F54260713FF27F8EEFD38FEA5	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.
