TYPE LOCALITY.— China, Yunnan, Gongshan County, Bingzhongluo Township, Sw slope of Kawakarpu Shan, on slope NE of Chukuai Lake, N27.98206/E098.48027°, 3950 m. DERIVATION OF SPECIES NAME.— The species epithet, gongshanicus, is derived from the name of the county (Xian) in which the holotype was collected, Gongshan, and the Latin adjectival suffix, -icus, meaning belonging to or pertaining to. DIAGNOSIS.— Adults of this species (Fig. 13a) can be distinguished from those of all other species in the region by the following combination of character states: same features as members of Q.griswoldi except, size smaller (BL = 3.5 to 3.8 mm), body form short, with elytra, in particular, shorter and more oval, less elongate; digitiform projections of pronotal basal angles slightly more divergent laterally; elytral recurrent stria slightly deeper impressed, median lobe of male aedeagus (Fig. 13b) markedly different, with shaft thin and straighter, abruptly bent basally, apex short and rectangular, endophallus with a single apically acuminate internal sclerite. DESCRIPTION.— Size smaller, BL = 3.5-3.8 mm. Body color dark, reddish-piceous, antennae and legs reddish tan, palpi and tarsi paler, yellowish tan. Head. Moderate in size; eyes small and convex, their convexity greater than and their diameter about as long as tempora, the latter moderately convex and glabrous. Frons not flattened; frontal furrows deep, rounded, slightly attenuated posterior to the eyes. Clypeus with four setae. Labrum with six setae, anterior margin distinctly concave. Mentum and submentum fused. Mentum with medial tooth short, wide, bifid, less than one-half the length of the lateral lobes. Submentum with six setae anteriorly. Gula wide. Genae with a single seta ventrally on each side. Antennae slightly shorter, with only two antennomeres extended posteriorly beyond basal pronotal margin, antennomeres slightly broadened, antennomere 3 slightly longer than antennomeres 2 or 4. Pronotum. Cordate (ratio Pw/PL = 1.15), markedly narrowed posteriorly, greatest width near anterior one-third, lateral margins rounded anteriorly, then straightened posteriorly just anterior to basal angles, the latter prolonged as slender, slightly divergent digitiform processes. Disc marked-
