Diagnosis.

Antennomere 1 elongate-ovoid (Figs 61, 65); antennomeres 1–3 more yellow; all intervals pubescent (Figs 89, 93); apical lamella of aedeagus moderately rounded (Figs 136, 144), thin in lateral view (Figs 137, 145).

Description.

Total length = 14.00–17.50 mm (mean = 15.60), width = 4.80–6.00 mm (mean = 5.60); HW = 2.40–2.95 mm (mean = 2.63), EYL = 0.95–1.00 mm (mean = 0.96), ratio Ant3/Ant1 = 1.96–2.10 (mean = 2.04), PL/PW = 0.86–0.90 (mean =0.87), EL/EW = 1.65–1.73 (mean = 1.68), EYL/ PL = 1.29–1.40 (mean = 1.35).

Head and pronotum black, with green or coppery metallic luster; elytra black in general, but with slight coppery luster in a few specimens; ventral surface black; antennomeres 4–11, mandibles, palpomeres, trochanters, and tarsomeres brown; antennomeres 1–3, femora and tibiae yellow.

Head convex, vertex punctate and pubescent behind eyes; antennomere 1 elongate–ovoid (Figs 61, 65); labrum slightly emarginate at apex; mentum with tooth emarginate apically. Pronotum with disk convex, sparsely punctate and pubescent along midline; basal foveae deep, coarsely punctate, pubescent. Elytra with intervals slightly convex, regularly punctate and pubescent (Figs 89, 93); striae shallow, punctate; humeral angle obtusely angulate (Figs 75, 79). Abdominal sterna densely pubescent; apex of sternum VII broadly rounded in both sexes (Figs 111–112, 116). Apical lamella of aedeagus rounded (Figs 136, 144), thickened in lateral view (Figs 154, 137, 145).

Geographical distribution.

Remarks.

Mensural data cited in the description were based on measurements obtained from 5 males and 5 females selected for maximum variation.

We compared a photograph of the holotype (type lost according Kryzhanovskij 1976) and specimens of Chlaenius formosanus from Taiwan with identified specimens of Chlaenius rambouseki Lutshnik from Ussuri River, and no significant difference was found between them.
