Abstract
An unexpected troglobitic staphylinid is described from a dolomite cave in western China as Domenelizeyui Wang & He, sp. nov. (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Paederinae). The habitus of both sexes and important diagnostic features are illustrated. Brief notes on the habitat, biology and taxonomic status of the new species are provided. This is the first discovery of a troglobitic representative of Paederinae from China, the first record of a troglobitic Domene species, and only the third cavernicolous species of Paederinae from eastern Asia.
中国西部的一个白云岩洞穴中发现了一种意想不到的蝶形锹形目锹形虫,命名为Domenelizeyui Wang & He, sp.图示了雌雄两性的习性和重要的诊断特征。文中简要介绍了该新种的栖息地、生物学和分类学地位。这是在中国首次发现的Paederinae的蛙腹代表种,也是首次记录的蛙腹Domene种,同时也是东亚地区发现的Paederinae的第3个穴居种。
