26EAA4A51B267A458EF63C8CC60E85F1.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Species of the genus are similar to those of allied genera Tachinus and Leucotachinus, but differ mainly in follows (Campbell 1993). Body flatter, strongly shining. Ocular puncture obsolete; mentum with a pair of long apical setae and frequently a pair of basal setae; submentum setae; antennae elongate, with subapical segments at least 1.5 times as long as wide, with only first and second segments lacking dense pubescence; mandible narrowly elongate, with prostheca reduced, not extending beyond middle of mandible. Surface of pronotum almost impunctate, at most with minute fine punctures; mesocoxal cavities contiguous, with apex of mesosternal intercoxal process not reaching posteriorly to apex of metasternal intercoxal process. Abdominal tergites devoid of pruinose spots; posterior lateral corners of fouth-sixth tergites each with a long, projecting bristle. The empodial setae much longer than those of Tachinus and Leucotachinus.	en	Zheng, Dan-Lin, Li, Li-Zhen, Zhao, Mei-Jun (2014): Review of Nitidotachinus Campbell (Staphylinidae, Tachyporinae) from Mainland China.

5B513F68D48620CE03EF06CBF42C573F.taxon	description	Description. Body (Fig. 1 G-H) medium in size, 4.5 - 5.9 mm (total length); 3.1 - 3.4 mm (length of forebody). Color dark brown with shine; the first and second segments of antennae, mouthparts, sides and posterior margin of pronotum, posterior margins of elytra, and legs yellowish red. Head 0.48 times as wide as pronotum. Surface finely and sparsely punctate, with dense and coarse microsculpture consisting of irregular meshes and transverse wave lines. Antennae moderately long, reaching the middle of elytra; the relative length of each segment from base to apex: 11.5: 7.0: 15.0: 12.0: 14.0: 14.5: 13.0: 13.0: 13.0: 13.0: 16.0; the tenth segment 1.73 times as long as wide. Maxillary palpus with relative lengths of 4 th and 3 rd segments: 15.5: 8.0. Pronotum 0.65 times as long as wide; microsculpture shallower and punctures much finer and sparser than those on head. Elytra in sutural length 0.72 times as long as wide; 1.15 times as long as the median length of pronotum; punctures and microsculpture a little courser than those on pronotum. Abdomen sparsely and finely punctate and pubescent, with minute microsculpture only at sides of third tergite. Male: Fore tarsal segments I-IV dilated; the relative lengths of hind tarsal segments from base to apex: 14.0: 7.5: 5.0: 4.0: 10.0. Eighth tergite (Fig. 8 C) 4 - lobed; inner lobes separated from each other by a V-shaped emargination and distinctly longer than outer lobes. Sixth sternite (Fig. 8 A) without short peg seta. Seventh sternite (Fig. 8 B) subtriangularly depressed at middle in posterior part, roundly emarginated at middle in apical margin, symmetrically covered with sparse short peg setae in the depression before posterior margin, densely covered with long black spiniform setae on posterior margin. Eighth sternite (Fig. 8 D) 2 - lobed, deeply incised between two lobes, the depth 0.35 times as long as the median length of sternite. Aedeagus (Figs 8 G-H) medium in size; parameres shorter than median lobe, each with a spindly projection near apex. Female (Fig. 8): Fore tarsal segments I-IV normal. Eighth tergite (Fig. 8 E) 4 - lobed; inner lobes relatively shallowly separated with each other, distinctly longer than outer lobes. Eighth sternite (Fig. 8 F) 6 - lobed; inner lobes almost fused with each other, slightly emarginate at middle in posterior margins.	en	Zheng, Dan-Lin, Li, Li-Zhen, Zhao, Mei-Jun (2014): Review of Nitidotachinus Campbell (Staphylinidae, Tachyporinae) from Mainland China.
