TYPE LOCALITY.— China, Yunnan, Fugong County, Shiyueliang Township, 8.5 km above<br />
Shibali on Shibali Road, North Fork of Yamu He, N27.18416°/E98.72026°, 3100 m.<br />
DERIVATION OF SPECIES NAME.— The species epithet, unipilosa, is an adjective derived from<br />
the Latin word, unus, meaning one, and the Greek word, πίλος (transliterated into Latin as pilus),<br />
meaning hair. The name refers to the single discal seta found on the elytra of members of this<br />
species.<br />
DIAGNOSIS.— Adults of this species (Fig. 31a) can be distinguished from those of all other<br />
species in the region by the following combination of character states: size small (BL = 2.7 to 3.1<br />
mm), apterous; body color reddish brown, dorsum shiny, pronotum and elytra slightly iridescent;<br />
eyes small but convex; tempora convex and sparsely pubescent; pronotum transverse (ratio Pw/PL<br />
= 1.42), with basal angles obtuse and rounded; elytra convex, medial striae (1 to 5 or 6) distinct,<br />
finely punctate, more lateral striae more or less effaced; recurrent stria terminated anteriorly on<br />
interval 6; only one discal setiferous pore present, inserted at anterior one-third next to stria 3;<br />
preapical seta present, inserted next to stria 2; median lobe of male aedeagus (Fig. 31b) with apex<br />
slender and rounded, endophallus with a faintly sclerotized scaly area distinctly narrowed distally.<br />
DESCRIPTION.— Size small, BL = 2.7 to 3.1 mm. Body color reddish brown, antennmae concolorous,<br />
legs slightly paler, yellowish brown, palpi paler yellow; dorsum shiny, pronotum and elytra<br />
slightly iridescent, head slightly alutaceous from more deeply impressed, irregularly isodiametric<br />
microsculpture.<br />
Head. Broad; eyes small but convex, their diameter about equal to length of tempora, the latter<br />
short, distinctly convex and sparsely pubescent Frons convex, frontal furrows sharply impressed<br />
and rounded, not attenuated posterior to eyes. Two pairs of supraorbital setae present, the anterior<br />
pair inserted in foveae. Clypeus with four setae. Labrum with six setae, anterior margin distinctly<br />
emarginate. Mentum and submentum not fused. Mentum with medial tooth apically bifid, about<br />
half the length of the lateral lobes. Submentum with six setae anteriorly. Gula broad. Genae with a<br />
single ventral seta one each side. Antennae short, with only about two antennomeres extended posteriorly<br />
beyond basal pronotal margin; antennomeres 2 and 4 about equal in length, antennomere 3<br />
slightly longer.<br />
Pronotum. Transverse (ratio Pw/PL = 1.42), with greatest width at anterior one-third; lateral<br />
margins rounded, slightly more so anteriorly, not or only slightly straighten posteriorly just anterior<br />
to basal angles, the latter obtuse and blunted. Disc convex and smooth, median longitudinal<br />
impression finely impressed, continuous from middle of apical median swelling to posterior margin;<br />
basal foveae small and shallow, faintly impressed; median basal area well defined but short<br />
and transverse, smooth or with a few small longitudinal foveae. Lateral borders slender and finely<br />
relexed dorsally, lateral grooves deeply impressed. Single midlateral setae on each side inserted<br />
near anterior one-third; single basolateral seta on each side, inserted at basal angle.<br />
Elytra. Ovoid only slightly elongate, not or only very slightly more narrowed anteriorly than<br />
posteriorly, humeri distinct but rounded. Disc convex, striae finely punctate, only medial striae 1<br />
to 3 distinctly impressed, more lateral striae more or less effaced, but still evident in most specimens.<br />
Parascutellar striole present, distinct but short. Recurrent stria deeply impressed, its anterior
