Propedicellus gen. nov. ẋüƛ+¤

Type species: Propedicellus guoliangi sp. nov., here designated.

Description. Body black, sparsely covered with short fine brown setae. Head, scape, pedicel, prothorax, mesoventrite, metaventrite, elytra, abdominal sternites and legs sparsely covered with short thick white setae. Vertex covered with a pair of yellowish-brown setal spots posteriorly. Antennal scape sparsely covered with short semi-erected black setae, antennomere III densely covered with white or pale yellow setae at ventral base. Pronotum covered with a pair of pale yellow or yellowish-brown setal spots on a pair of small calli, with three pale yellow or yellowishbrown setal bands: two located at sides and starting from middle to posterior one, and one located at basal middle and staring from a large callus), sides of prothorax with a pair pale yellow or yellowish-brown setal bands. Scutellum densely covered with pale yellow or yellowish-brown setae, with a longitudinal glabrous section in middle not extending to apex. Elytra sparsely covered with irregular small white or pale yellow setal spots (mainly located laterally and on apical 1/3), disc covered with a pair of irregular black setal spots on apical 1/3, sparsely covered with short erected black setae on apical 1/3, most of setae forming several irregular spots. Metaventrite, abdominal sternites and legs sparsely covered with thick dark-brown and pale-brown setae. Each ventrite covered with a pair of pale yellow or yellowish-brown setal spots laterally.

Frons, genae, vertex, scape and prothorax strongly wrinkled. Eyes coarsely faceted, vertex depressed and with a longitudinal furrow, antennal tubercles far from each other; antennae longer than body (antennae more than 2.5 times as long as body in males, about 1.7 times in females), apical cicatrix of scape opened, scape marginated at apex (except apical dorsum), apex of pedicel processed towards inner side, antennomere III distinctly expanded apically, antennomeres VI–VIII of males with a longitudinal glabrous ridge ventrally. Prothorax with sharp lateral spines, disc with three irregular and wrinkled calli (two small located at front of middle and one large located behind middle), prosternal process narrow, longitudinally depressed at middle and distinctly lower than procoxae; procoxal cavities closed posteriorly and triangular externally. Scutellum lingulate. Elytra distinctly broader than prothorax basally, rounded apically; disc sparsely with variously sized tubercles from base to apical 1/3, amount and arrangement of tubercles on each elytron slightly different; each elytron with a bump near basal middle (bump covered with several tubercles), with an oblique depression after bump, marginated at apical 1/3 (margination covered with several tubercles), curved towards venter at apical 1/3. Hind wings with some veins reduced, AA 3+4 vein weak and fused with Cu vein at apical 1/3, but separated apically, both veins not extending to margin; CuA 2, MP 4 and MP 3 veins dissociative and not extending to margin; MP 3+4 vein short and dissociative; MS vein not extending to margin; r4 vein connecting with sr vein at middle. Mesoventral process raised at center, midcoxal cavities open to mesepimeron externally. Ventrite V slightly notched apically in males, truncated in females. Tarsi tetramerous.

Male terminalia. Tergite VIII sub- rectangular, sparsely covered with long brown setae apically, sparsely with short brown setae dorsally (slightly dense at dorso-apical 1/3); venter of tergite VIII sparsely covered with short brown setae at latero-basal half, moderately with dense short brown at apical 1/3; disc slightly bevel at apical sides. Most of sternite VIII membranous. Parameres densely covered with long thick brown setae at apex and latero-apical 3/5, sparsely with short fine brown setae ventrally (slightly dense at basal insides); both parameres gradually constricted from base to apex and rounded apically, base of both parameres separated and only connected through membrane. Penis strongly curved in lateral view, dorsal plate shorter than ventral plate; dorsal struts of penis about 1/2 as long as entire penis, rounded apically.

Discussion. This genus can be distinguished from Hechinoschema Thomson, 1857 by the pronotum with a pair of pale yellow or yellowish-brown setal spots on a pair of small calli (without a pair of pale yellow or yellowishbrown setal spots on a pair of small calli in Hechinoschema ), and with three distinct pale yellow or yellowish-brown setal bands (with four indistinct yellowish-brown setal bands in Hechinoschema ); scape strongly wrinkled (scape not wrinkled in Hechinoschema ); apex of pedicel processed towards inner side (apex of pedicel not processed towards inner side in Hechinoschema ); elytra with a pair of irregular black setal spots at apical 1/3 (elytra without irregular black setal spots at apical 1/ 3 in Hechinoschema ), sparsely covered with variously sized tubercles from base to apical 1/3 (elytra sparsely covered with strong spinous tubercles from base to apical 1/ 5 in Hechinoschema ), and with a pair of strong bumps near basal middle, the bumps covered with several tubercles (with a pair of strong spinous tubercles near basal middle and the spinous tubercles not covered with tubercles in Hechinoschema ), disc marginated at apical 1/3 (not marginated at apical 1/ 3 in Hechinoschema ).

Additionally, this genus is similar to Echinovelleda Breuning, 1936 for the vertex covered with a pair of yellowish-brown setal spots posterior; antennae distinctly longer than body, scape strongly wrinkled; prothorax with sharp lateral spines, disc with three irregular and wrinkled calli (two small located in front of middle and one large located behind middle); pronotum covered with a pair of pale yellow or yellowish-brown setal spots on a pair of calli, with three pale yellow or yellowish-brown setal bands (two located at sides and starting from middle to posterior, one located at middle); sides of prothorax with a pair pale yellow or yellowish-brown setal bands near venter; scutellum densely covered with pale yellow or yellowish-brown setae, with a longitudinal glabrous section in middle not extending to apex; elytra sparsely covered with irregular small white or pale yellow setal spots (mainly located at apical 1/3) and with many tubercles, with a pair of bumps near basal middle; and tarsi tetramerous.

Propedicellus can be distinguished from Echinovelleda by the antennae longer, apex of pedicel processed towards inner side; middle steal band on pronotum short, not extending to apex; elytra covered with a pair of irregular black setal spots at apical 1/3; elytra longer, marginated at apical 1/3 and rounded apically, not covered with large sharp tubercles and the hind wings developed.

Etymology. The generic name is a combination of the Latin words “ processus ” + “ pedicellus ”, referring to the projected pedicel. The gender is masculine.

Range. China, Vietnam.

Etymology. This new species is dedicated to Dr. Lu Qiu (Ḇḋ), who is from Southwest University, Chongqing, China, for collecting and donating the holotype material of this new species.

Distribution. China (Guangxi: Guilin, Laibin).

Remarks. The holotype specimen was collected on a road near Shengquan Guesthouse in Dayaoshan National Nature Reserve ( Figs. 58–59 View FIGURES 55–59 ) at 21:35 pm on July 14 2015 (Lu Qiu, pers. comm.). The paratype specimen was flying lowly around the coniferous mixed forest and low shrubs near a mountain path in Huaping National Nature Reserve when was collected by an insect net at afternoon (Yi Zhang, pers. comm.). Comparing with holotype specimen, the body of paratype specimen covered with less short brown setae, which might be worn out naturally.
