039C87DBB454FFC5FE3F4096FC96FB65.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis. Ipelates Reitter, 1885 is a small genus with 12 valid species, which are quite heterogeneous in size and external morphology (NEWTON 1997, SCHAWALLER 1983, 2005). Currently, there is no available hypothesis about the phylogeny within this genus. Although the new species is known only from two females, we decided to formally describe and name it because it can be well characterized by its external morphology. By its small size, Ipelates schuelkei sp. nov. resembles I. indicus (Hlisnikovský, 1963) and I. sikkimensis (Portevin, 1905), which are also reported from this region (Myanmar and China: Sichuan province for I. indicus (SCHAWALLER 1983, 1999); Thailand and China: Yunnan province for I. sikkimensis, see above for references). It clearly differs by its short antennae, distinctly vaulted disc and flattened lateral areas of the pronotum, rectangular posterior corners of the pronotum and very convex elytra with very wide epipleural keel (Fig. 4). In I. indicus and I. sikkimensis, the antennae are longer, pronotum evenly convex with posterior corners rounded, and elytra regularly convex with narrow epipleural keel (SCHAWALLER 2005: 116, Figs. 7, 11). Ipelates schuelkei sp. nov. shares most character states with I. schmidti Schawaller, 2005 from central Nepal and I. jumlanus Schawaller, 2005 from western Nepal: the pronotum is widest shortly before base, with posterior corners rectangular and disc with only a few scattered punctures and smooth surface, and the lateral margin of the elytra is completely serrate. However, I. schmidti has very fine punctures laterally on pronotum and only a narrow epipleural keel (SCHAWALLER 2005: 116, Fig. 10) and I. jumlanus is distinctly larger (body length 5.5 – 6.0 mm), with elytral interstriae glabrous without microsculpture (SCHAWALLER 2005: 116, Fig. 8).	en	Růžička, Jan, Pütz, Andreas (2009): New species and new records of Agyrtidae (Coleoptera) from China, India, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam.

Habitus of the only Chinese female specimen available (Fig. 2) fully corresponds with the specimens from Nepal. It is only slightly stouter; see also SCHAWALLER (2005: 116, Fig. 12). Tergite VIII in this female is more transverse (Fig. 16) than in the two females from Nepal (Figs. 17, 18). Ventrite VIII is posteriorly truncate but spiculum ventrale seems to be mutilated in the specimen from China (Fig. 19); ventrite VIII is posteriorly truncate or regularly rounded and spiculum ventrale is truncate or emarginated anteriorly in specimens from Nepal (Figs. 20, 21). Ventro-medial sclerite of female genitalia is largely unsclerotized medially and only weakly emarginated posteriorly in the Chinese specimen (Fig. 22) and only weakly unsclerotized medially and rounded posteriorly in specimens from Nepal (Figs. 23, 24). Further material from China, including male specimens, is needed to evaluate properly the taxonomical status of the Chinese population.	en	Růžička, Jan, Pütz, Andreas (2009): New species and new records of Agyrtidae (Coleoptera) from China, India, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam.

Necrophilus sichuanensis was described from two localities in the southern Sichuan province (N Eryizuxian, 4000 – 4300 m; NW Lajajia, 4200 – 4300 m) (NIKOLAEV 2003). Necrophilus chinensis was described from several places in the Sichuan province, Jiulong county, 29 ° 17 ′ N 101 ° 28 ′ E, 3735 – 4300 m (ZHOU et al. 2005). Both descriptions were written almost simultaneously: the paper of NIKOLAEV (2003) was published on 7 April 2003; the paper of ZHOU et al. (2005) was received by the editor on 15 August 2003 and published on 19 April 2005. Comparison of the holotype and one paratype of N. sichuanensis (from the environs of Eryizuxian) with a series of paratypes of N. chinensis showed no significant differences in external morphology. The only difference noted is a slightly different shape of the aedeagus, which is slightly more slender and elongated in the holotype of N. sichuanensis than in paratypes of N. chinensis and most of the additional specimens examined. In our opinion, this difference falls within an intraspecific variability. Consequently, N. chinensis is considered here as a junior subjective synonym of N. sichuanensis. Complementary description. Populations at different altitudes show continual and overlapping differences in TBL with TBL decreasing with altitude (samples from two populations with large series of specimens: Mofanggou, 3600 m: JJ 11.0 – 11.5 mm, ♀♀ 11.5 – 12.0 mm; W of Zhier, 4241 m: JJ 9.5 – 10.5 mm, ♀♀ 10.5 – 11.5 mm). Female: sternum VIII weakly emarginate (or rarely truncate) posteriorly, spiculum ventrale short, stout, truncate anteriorly (Figs. 26). Ventro-medial sclerite of female genitalia unsclerotized medio-anteriorly and rounded, irregularly unsclerotized posteriorly (Fig. 25).	en	Růžička, Jan, Pütz, Andreas (2009): New species and new records of Agyrtidae (Coleoptera) from China, India, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam.

039C87DBB45FFFCCFE634075FD26FC03.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis. The new species is very similar in habitus (i. e., oval elytra and dark brown dorsum with paler, unicoloured appendages) to A. davidis (Fairmaire, 1891), A. jinfo Růžička, Schneider & Háva, 2004 and A. qinlingense Rougemont, 2001 (Fig. 5) but differs from them by the combination of the following characters: sides of pronotum only weakly sinuate posteriorly (as in A. davidis and A. jinfo; distinctly sinuate in A. qinlingense); elytra with medium-sized strial punctures (as in A. davidis; distinctly larger punctures in A. jinfo and A. qinlingense) and elytral interstriae anteriorly flat (as in A. davidis and A. qinlingense; distincly raised anteriorly in A. jinfo). All four species can be reliably identified using the features of male genitalia: aedeagus slender with a short apex, regularly tapering in dorsal view in A. belousovi sp. nov. (Figs. 7, 9); with a short apex, sub-apically broadened in dorsal view in A. davidis (RŮŽIČKA et al. 2004: 117, Figs. 2, 6); with an elongate apex and sinuate sides in A. jinfo (RŮŽIČKA et al. 2004: 117, Figs. 3, 7); and slender with an elongate apex, regularly tapering in dorsal view in A. qinlingense (RŮŽIČKA et al. 2004: 117, Figs. 1, 5). Female of A. belousovi sp. nov. differs in the shape of ventrite VIII, which is truncate posteriorly (Fig. 11), as in A. jinfo, but rounded posteriorly in A. davidis (RŮŽIČKA et al. 2004: 117, Fig. 9) and narrowly emarginate posteriorly in A. qinlingense (Fig. 13), and in the spiculum ventrale, which is distinctly broadened latero-apically (Fig. 11), as in A. davidis and A. qinlingense, but narrower and not broadened latero-apically in A. jinfo (RŮŽIČKA et al. 2004: 117, Fig. 10).	en	Růžička, Jan, Pütz, Andreas (2009): New species and new records of Agyrtidae (Coleoptera) from China, India, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam.

Measurements of the male holotype: TBL 6.1 mm, PMW / PML 1.71, PMW / PBW 1.12, EL / EW 1.28, EW / PMW 1.43. Body large in size, 5.6 – 6.3 mm (J) and 6.2 – 6.5 mm (♀) long. Dorsum in mature specimens light brown, resembling teneral specimens of A. davidis, pronotal disc with large, dark brown medial spot; antennae, mouthparts and legs uniformly light brown (Fig. 3). Dorsal surface very shiny, with fine transverse microsculpture; disc of pronotum almost glabrous, only with very fine and superficial microsculpture. Pronotum and elytra with scattered short erect setae. Pronotum widest in middle; anterior margin weakly emarginate; lateral margins distinctly bordered, very weakly explanate; sides weakly raised and very weakly sinuate posteriorly (Fig. 3); base very wide, without impressions. Disc with scattered punctures, lateral and posterior areas with strong and dense punctures. Elytra broadly oval. Each elytron with nine regular striae, stria 3 with ca. 65 – 68 small punctures; interstriae flat; elytron with narrow epipleural keel; laterally smooth, without serration. Hind wings fully developed. Male. Aedeagus evenly rounded with short, dorsally elevated apex in lateral view (Fig. 8); sides before apex distinctly broadened and heavily sinuate, apex widely rounded in dorsal view (Fig. 10). Female. Ventrite VIII widely, regularly rounded posteriorly, spiculum ventrale wide, truncate anteriorly (Fig. 12). Ovipositor with wide and short valvifer with only 2 – 3 ventromedial setae; triangular, heavily sclerotized coxite bearing numerous setae; stylus modified into strongly curved, apically glabrous, short scraper (as in RŮŽIČKA et al. 2004: 117, Fig. 20).	en	Růžička, Jan, Pütz, Andreas (2009): New species and new records of Agyrtidae (Coleoptera) from China, India, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam.

039C87DBB45CFFCDFE344574FDD8FAC5.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis. Large species, habitually similar to A. schawalleri Růžička, Schneider & Háva, 2004. Both species also share the general shape of the aedeagus, which is distinctly broadened before apex and has heavily sinuate sides in dorsal view, and the wide and robust shape of spiculum ventrale in females. Both species clearly differ by the combination of the following characters: dorsum light brown (with only disc of pronotum darker) and with scattered short erect setae in A. jelineki sp. nov. (black and with scattered long erect setation in A. schawalleri); antennae uniformly light brown in A. jelineki sp. nov. (bicoloured, with antennomeres 1, 2, 10 and 11 ferruginous, and the remaining ones black in A. schawalleri); pronotum with almost glabrous disc posteriorly very weakly sinuate sides and very wide base in A. jelineki sp. nov. (disc with distinct transverse microsculpture, distinctly sinuate sides and narrow base in A. schawalleri). Both species can be reliably identified using features of the male genitalia: aedeagus with a dorsally elevated apical part in lateral view and widely rounded apex in dorsal view in A. jelineki sp. nov. (Figs. 8, 10) and with a straight apical part in lateral view and narrow apex in dorsal view in A. schawalleri (RŮŽIČKA et al. 2004: 117, Figs. 4, 8). Female of A. jelineki sp. nov. differs in the shape of ventrite VIII, which is widely and regularly rounded posteriorly, and truncate anterior margin of spiculum ventrale (Fig. 12). In A. schawalleri ventrite VIII is narrower posteriorly and the anterior margin of spiculum ventrale is widely though weakly emarginate (RŮŽIČKA et al. 2004: 117, Fig. 11).	en	Růžička, Jan, Pütz, Andreas (2009): New species and new records of Agyrtidae (Coleoptera) from China, India, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam.
