25. Lemula (s. str.) lata zhejianga subsp. nov.

(Figs. XI-25, XIV-25)

Description. Male: BL = 6.4–8.3 mm. Close to nominotypical subspecies, but antennal color darker, and elytral color variable among blue green and yellowish green. Elytra relatively slender (EL/EW = 1.88) and hairs on the disk distinctly short, nearly half as long as space between punctures.

Endophallus (Type C). Almost identical with nominotypical subspecies.

Female: BL = 7.0– 9.6 mm, EL/EW = 1.84. Similar to male in general appearance, but antennae little shorter.

Etymology. Subspecies name is derived from the type locality.
