Brief morphological characteristics of the genera Blosyrus Schoenherr, 1823, Blosyrodes Jekel, 1875, and Blosyridius Fairmaire, 1891 are given. The new genus Stiltoblosyrusgen. n. (type species S. belousovisp. n.) with 17 new species is described from Yunnan and Sichuan provinces of China. Stiltoblosyrus gen. n. is closely related to Blosyrodes but differs in the tuberculate pronotum and elytra, in the presence of an elongate process of the apex of the male hind tibia, in the armament of the endophallus consisting of tiny spicules, and in the usually hair-like vestiture of the body. The new genus includes S. andreiisp. n., S. asyaesp. n., S. belousovisp. n. (type species), S. brevicornissp. n., S. curvimanussp. n., S. delavayisp. n.,S. fairmaireisp. n., S. gracilissp. n., S. laticollissp. n., S. kabakisp. n., S. khalidisp. n., S. lisusp. n., S. longipessp. n.,S. pulchersp. n., S. titanicussp. n., S. vulgarissp. n., and S. zhangisp. n. A key to the 17 species is given. Most of the species were collected from Rhododendron at night time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
