Description
Haizhi Wang, Zhonghua Wei, and Guodong Ren describe a new beetle species from Sichuan in China, in a 2024 paper. The beetle belongs to a large genus of darkling beetles. It was found in a nature reserve in the Micangshan range.
The team gives a full account of the new species, with drawings of its key traits. Gene data from the beetle backs its place as a species of its own. Its closest kin in the tests is a species named from the same broad region. The paper also adds a fresh key to help name all known species of the group in Sichuan.
