Remark.
The

Ren and Xu, 2011
identified the specimens from Ailao Mountain (
Yunnan Province
) as
Hexarhopalus
(
H.
)
attenuatus
. However, we examined the specimens from the same locality, and the different characters suggest that specimens from Ailao Mountain is a new species. Although they are similar in general appearance, and both possess three longitudinal grooves on pronotum. But they can be easily separated from each other, the new species with shoulders fully developed (shouldersless in
Hexarhopalus
(

attenuatus
), and except the lateral one, other two grooves of pronotum are much weak (deep in
