Lemula (s. str.) lata Holzschuh, 2009

Lemula lata Holzschuh, 2009: 270 , fig. 3. Type locality: Baotianman, Funiushan, West Henan, China.

Diagnosis. Male: Body bright reddish brown; antennomere I yellowish brown, II– IV dark brown, V-XI black; elytra metallic dark yellowish green. Ventral surface including abdominal ventrites entirely light reddish brown. Head with labrum and clypeus sparsely covered with short pale hairs; pronotum very sparsely covered with short fine yellowish hairs; elytra moderately furnished with suberect black hairs which are slightly longer than space between punctures.

Head and pronotum sparsely covered with fine punctures; antennae long, reaching apical fourth of elytra.

Pronotum distinctly shorter than width across lateral tubercles (PL/PW = 0.87); strongly constricted at apical fourth with an obtuse tubercle at middle of each side; disk moderately convex with indistinct median longitudinal impression.

Elytra shorter than twice humeral width; disk moderately covered with fine punctures.

Female: According to the original description of Holzschuh (2009), one female paratype was collected together with the holotype, but we could not examine this specimen.

Remarks. This species looks very similar to L. (s. str.) gorodinskii henanica in appearance, but can be distinguished from it by much darker antennal color, entirely yellow abdominal ventrites of male, shorter elytra (EL/EW = 1.75 instead of 1.96) and distinctly wider pronotum (PL/PW = 0.87 instead of 0.98).
