Sueus pilosus female paratype (USNMENT01595294), 1.6 mm A) dorsal view; B) lateral view; C) frons; D) posterolateral view. Diagnosis. Length 1.6–1.95 mm , 2.13–2.4 × longer than wide (n = 5); declivital interstriae bearing minute granules; first fifth of elytral base granulate; main elytral interstrial setae and ground vestiture subequal (> width of interstria); ground vestiture longer than width of an interstria. Distribution. Occurring in southern China * ( Guangdong , Hainan , Hong Kong ), Laos * ( Bolikhamxai , Hua Pha, Phongsaly ), Thailand * ( Trang ), southern Vietnam * ( Vinh Phuc ) and Indonesia ( Java , Sumatra *). Possibly with a more southerly distribution than S. niisimai . Introduced to Martinique . Hosts. Reported from Bombacaceae , Litsea glutinosa ( Lauraceae ). Presumably mycetophagous. Remarks. Schedl (1962: 202) placed S. pilosus in synonymy with S. niisimai without an explicit reason. Reciprocal monophyly, greater than 10% COI nucleotide difference, and morphological diagnostic characters support the restored status of S. pilosus .
