83FA711C92E2878AB493EA0F87E5FE4C.taxon	description	Description. Body length: 5.3 - 5.9 mm. Pronotum width: 2.0 - 2.1 mm. Head black, except for the reddish mouthparts. Inner basal parts of prohypomera, legs including coxal cavity and mesosternum blackish. Other parts reddish. Frons at narrowest point 0.42 - 0.44 mm wide. Head coarsely and very densely punctate, punctation coarse on vertex and fine near eyes. Intervals between punctures distinctly smaller than diameter of punctures. Between eyes with a pair of impunctate patches. Labium smooth. Gular striae impressed, groove-like basally. Pronotum with antebasal puncture row usually interrupted at middle (rarely uninterrupted), impressed laterally. Discal punctures fine and sparse. Elytra with shallow apical impression and indistinct humeral protuberance; disc with four discal puncture rows consisting of rather coarse punctures anteriorly gradually becoming finer posteriad. All rows start at about basal 2 / 11 of elytron and end blurrily where puncture rows mix with apical disc punctures. Punctation fine between discal series of punctures and coarse in apical impressions. Mesoventral process with raised, ridge-like edges, and impressed in middle. Metaventrite finely and sparsely punctate, lacking microsculpture, with medio-apical impression shallow, narrowed anteriorly, and carinate laterally. Punctation of abdominal sternites very fine and very sparse. Micropunctures absent. Male sexual characters. Segments 1 to 3 of protarsi slightly widened with dense setae on ventral side. Aedeagus (Figs 5, 6) with median lobe with apical portion inflexed in lateral view. Basal process small, slightly prominent. Parameres slightly sinuate in lateral view. Internal sac (Fig. 7) with a pair of comma-like sclerotized rods.	en	Tang, Liang, Tu, Yue-Ye, Li, Li-Zhen (2016): Notes on the genus Episcaphium Lewis (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Scaphidiinae) with description of a new species from China.
