Pseudolathra (Allolathra) superficiaria Li, Xiao-Yan, Solodovnikov & Hong-Zhang Zhou 2013

Length: 6.5 mm; length of forebody: 3.2 mm. Body black, glossy; abdomen with posterior and lateral margins slightly dark reddish; legs, antennae and mouthparts reddish. Head (Fig. 2A) weakly transverse, approximately 1.1 times as wide as long; vertex slightly convex, posterior angles marked. Median area almost impunctate, lateral portions with coarse and very sparse punctures; punctures around eyes and along neck relatively fine and dense; interstices without microsculpture and micropunctation. Eyes large and bulging, HL/EyL = 1.7, approximately 1.5 times as long as postocular region in dorsal view. Antennae slender, about 1.85 mm long; antennomeres III-X with very narrow bases and broadened apices. Pronotum (Fig. 2A) approximately as long as broad and as wide as head, anterior angles distinct and posterior angles round; on either side of the impunctate midline with series of 1+4 coarse punctures in dorsal view; lateral portions with very sparse and coarse punctures; some of those coarse punctures having additional smaller punctures. Elytra with EL/EW = 8.7, slightly longer than pronotum, with fine epipleural ridge; punctures on dorsal surface arranged in 3 pronounced series on each elytron; interstices without microsculpture. Hind wings fully developed. Abdomen approximately as broad as head or pronotum, but narrower than elytra; punctation on tergites III-V very coarse and dense, tergites VI-VIII with punctures relatively fine and dense; interstices without microsculpture; posterior margin of tergite VII with palisade fringe. Aedeagus about 1.1 mm long, length/width = 2.7, weakly sclerotized, shaped as in Fig. 2C–E. Malesternite VII (Fig. 2F) with posterior margin weakly and broadly concave, on either side of the middle with comb of stout, black, spine-like setae increasing in length and thickness laterad, margins of the concavity slightly depressed and glabrous; male sternite VIII (Fig. 2B) with semicircular, broad and relatively shallow posterior excision. Females unknown.

The only known specimen of Pseudolathra superficiaria sp. n. was found in the leaf litter of the forest of rubber trees near the center of Yaoqu, a town in Mengla County, Yunnan. It was collected in October by sifting leaf litter at an altitude of 1030 m.
