CC6DDE70D717FFC2FF346388FDB1FCB5.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This new species belongs to the lineage comprised of Q. arcus sp. nov., Q. bernhauerianus Korge, Q. subwrasei sp. nov. and Q. wrasei Smetana within euryalus group. They share the character combination: relatively large body size (> = 9.5 mm), dark body color (blackish brown to black), relatively smaller and less convex eyes, asymmetrical apical portion of male sternite IX, slightly asymmetrical paramere of aedeagus and inverted Y-shaped process at apex of median lobe. However, it can be easily distinguished from others by having apical portion of male sternite IX less distinctly asymmetrical and the conspicuous ridge below apex of median lobe.	en	Cai, Yan-Peng, Zhao, Zong-Yi, Zhou, Hong-Zhang (2015): Taxonomy on Quedius euryalus group (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Staphylinini: Quediina) from China with description of eight new species.
