DEUVE ET AL.: CARABID BEETLE FAUNA OF THE GAOLIGONG MOUNTAINS 415
Elytra. Ovoid, only slightly more narrowed anteriorly than posteriorly, humeri distinct but
rounded. Disc convex, striae faintly impressed and finely punctate, the medial three or four striae
distinctly impressed, the more lateral striae more or less effaced, but perceptible if only by the presence
of fine punctures seen as rows of brown dots visible through the integument. Parascutellar
striole present. Recurrent stria abruptly terminated anteriorly in presumed location of interval 6.
Parascutellar setiferous pore present at base at common origin of discal striae 1 and 2. Only one
discal setiferous pore present, inserted slightly anterior to middle next to stria 3. Preapical seta present
on interval 3 near stria 3, closer to elytra apical margin that to sutural margin.
Legs. Short, protibiae with longitudinal furrow. Male protarsomeres 1 and 2 dilated and apicomedially
toothed.
Abdomen. Abdominal ventrites glabrous, except for a single paramedial seta on each side, and
ventrite VII of males apically with one pair of paramedial setae, of females with two pairs.
Male aedeagus. Median lobe (Fig. 28b) with sagittal aileron very small, shaft moderately
broad basally, expanded near mid-length, then gradually narrowed apically to a thin, bluntly rounded
apex, the latter slightly recurved dorsally; endophallus with a small scaly sclerotized area (Fig.
28c).
HABITAT DISTRIBUTION.— Members of this species have been found in mixed broadleaf evergreen/
deciduous forest at elevations ranging from 2460 to 2470 m and collected by sifting leaf litter
on the forest floor (Fig. 37a). Specimens of Trechepaphiosisunisetosa and Trechepaphiama
gaoligong sp. nov were collected in the same sifted leaf litter samples and are therefore syntopic
with T.uniporosa at this site.
GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION WITHIN THE GAOLIGONG SHAN.— Fig. 28d. we examined a
total of 6 specimens (4 males and 2 females) from the type locality on the western slope of the
southcentral part of the Gaoligong Shan in Lushui County (see Type material above for exact collection
data). This locality is in Core Area 4.
OVERALL GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION.— This species currently is known only from western
Lushui County in the southcentral part of the Gaoligong Shan region, western Yunnan
Province, China.
