Abstract
This study contributes to the taxonomic research on the tribe Saperdini, focusing on two genera, Paraglenea Bates and Malloderma Lacordaire. A new species, Paraglenea dairanxingorum Lin, You & Wang, sp. nov., is described from Hunan and Hubei Provinces, China. The new species is distinguished by its purplish-blue scales and median long, whitish, erect hairs on whole body. The type specimens were collected primarily using a sweeping net in wooded mountains in Fangziyacun, Madiyixiang, Yuanling County, Huaihua City, Hunan Province, as well as in Wudangshan, Shiyan City, Hubei Province. Although it resembles Malloderma kuegleri Holzschuh, 2010 in hair and scale morphology, it differs in male claw structure, elytral apex and puncture density. Additionally, Paraglenea jianfenglingensis Hua, 1985 is newly combined as Malloderma jianfenglingense (Hua, 1985) comb. nov., with a new distribution record from Guangxi, China. Malloderma pascoei Lacordaire, 1872, is recorded from Myanmar for the first time. Detailed comparisons between P. dairanxingorum Lin, You & Wang, sp. nov. and Malloderma kuegleri Holzschuh, 2010; Malloderma jianfenglingense (Hua, 1985) comb. nov. and Malloderma pascoei Lacordaire, 1872, are provided.
