They are Podagricomela apicipennis (Jacoby), P. cupera Wang, P. cyanea Chen, P. flavitibialis Wang, P. geminata Chen et Zia, P. nigricollis Chen, P. nigripes Medvedev, P. parva Chen et Zia, P. shirahatai (Ch?j?), and P. weisei Heikertinger. Among them, P. nigripes Medvedev is recorded for the first time from China. A key to species from China is given. Illustrations of the male aedeagus and female spermatheca of each species are also given. The geographical distribution in China is analyzed briefly. The result indicates that Podagricomela mainly occurs in southern China, southwestern China, central China and north China, and the distribution center of this genus is in China. They always feed on Rutaceae.展开更多

The species is similar to I. nonparallelus Zhao ＆ Zhou from Yunnan Province, but differs in the aedeagus more narrowed at apical part of median lobe, paramere constricted drastically at the bottom, being more narrow and straight throughout whole length, sensory peg setae on underside less numerous, and deeper middle emargination of male sternite 9. It was found in Heizhugou Forest Park in Sichuan, China.展开更多

It is the second troglophile species of the genus Itamus Schmidt-Gobel and is easily distinguished from I. cavicola （Moore）, the other troglophile from Papua New Guinea, by its more elongate body, longer antennae, head without a supraorbital setiferous pore, and very shallow and impunctate elytral striae.展开更多

This species has been lacking a detailed and formal description. In past years we collected a male and four females of this species from Yunnan, China.In this paper, we describe both the adult male and female of this species in detail, especially providing diagnostic features of the antenna, ventrite and male aedeagus. We provide photographs of the dorsal and ventral view, habitat of both male and female adults, and figures detailing the diagnostic features of both male and female antenna, male abdominal ventrites and the male aedeagus. In addition, we discuss one intraspecific variation found in this species. This provides an important basis for correct identification of this species.展开更多
