Mus. 1956-709 / HOLOTYPE Oedichirus guomindangi des. 2015 G. de Rougemont [NHML]. D e s c r i p t i o n: length: 8 mm ; length of fore-body: 3.1; length of head: 0.87; breadth of head: 1.05; length of antenna: 2.2; length of pronotum: 1.2; breadth of pronotum: 1; length of elytron: 1.32; breadth of elytra: 1.42. Head black, pronotum red, greater half of elytra black, posterior part red; abdominal segments III-V red, the following black; palpi and antennae testaceous; legs testaceous, the infuscation of knees moderately extensive, greatest on hind legs where it occupies distal 1/3 rd of femora and more than proximal half of tibiae. Dorsal surfaces devoid of microsculpture except narrowly on bases of abdominal tergites. Pubescence long on abdomen, erect. Habitus: Fig. 5h. In colour, puncturation and other external features this new member of the O. Alatus group is practically indistinguishable from O. astoni ROUGEMONT from Hong Kong except by its slightly longer, therefore less transverse head and slightly more ample elytra. Although neither the male of this species nor the female of O. astoni are known, I have no hesitation in attributing the two to different, allopatric species. Female: sternite IX: Fig. 5vp.
