Stat., / 24.09’ N, 121.17’ E”, “from bark at night / 3100 m, 27. IX. 1999 / G. CSORBA &amp; B. HERCZIG”. It is deposited in the HNHM.</p> <p>Description – General: body elongate, constricted between fore and hind bodies gently convex, glabrous; colour piceous, apical half of antennae paler in colour, meso- and metasterna, tibiae and claws dark brown, hairs on ventral surface of tibiae pale golden; dorsal surface moderately shining, slightly sericeous (Fig. 2). Body length 13 mm.</p> <p>Head: gently convex in posterior part, gradually inclined anteriorly, surface with microscopic isodiametrical reticulation and small punctures; basal membrane of labrum exposed. Clypeus transversely elliptical, anterior edge straight. Fronto-clypeal suture complete, rounded and sulcate. Genae weakly swollen, subparallel-sided before eyes, then rounded and meeting edge of clypeus at an angle of about 170°. Eyes obliquely ovate, rounded inwardly, medium-sized for a Paramisolampidius, separated by distance equal to 3 eye widths. Inner margins of eyes sulcate from behind to middle of the eye (Fig. 7), width of ocular sulcus about 1/4 times the width of transverse diameter of an eye. Antennae slightly clavate, reaching base of pronotum, terminal segment tear-shaped, segment length ratios from base to apex as follows: 2.7, 1.0 (shortest segment), 2.6, 1.9, 1.6, 1.6, 1.5, 1.5, 1.4, 1.3, 2.6. Mentum with strong anteromedian convexity, with elevated longitudinal keel.</p> <p>Prothorax: barrel-shaped, barely longer than wide, widest immediately before middle; apex a little wider than base; sides gently and evenly rounded; anterior edge finely margined except along major part of middle; base nearly straight, feebly sinuous in lateral parts, strongly margined in major part of middle; pronotal carina absent; anterior angles rounded, not prominent, posterior angles truncate; pronotal disc gently convex, surface with microscopic isodiametrical reticulation and widely scattered very small punctures and with a shallow mid-longitudinal impression; the coarsest punctures are along midline. Hypomeron with a few scattered punctures. Prosternum with very few small punctures and obsolete wrinkles; prosternal process shallowly bifurcate.</p> <p>Pterothorax: scutellum equilaterally triangular, weakly raised in middle, microscopically sculptured, irregularly punctate laterally. Elytra oblong elliptical, gently convex, highest at the middle, 1.8 times as long as wide, 2.86 times the length and 1.49 times the width of pronotum, widest at the middle; surface with microscopic isodiametrical reticulation, punctato-striate, striae shallow with punctures small, widely and rather irregularly set; intervals feebly convex, with scattered very small punctures and sparse, transverse wrinkles; humeri reduced; apices rounded; epipleuron narrow, ending just before apex, epipleural carina weak, not visible from above. Mesoventrite sparsely punctate. Mesepisternum, mesepimeron and metepisternum impunctate. Metaventrite impunctate, with Y-shaped discrimen.</p> <p>Legs: long, femora strongly clavate, thickened in middle, with basal parts thin, finely and sparsely punctate; protrochanter angulate distally; protibia gently curved; pro- and mesotibia with a small denticle just before apex of ventral surface; metatibia weakly bent backwards; length ratios of protarsomeres: 1.9, 1.3, 1.0 (shortest segment), 1.2, 3.6; mesotarsomeres: 2.2, 1.5, 1.3, 1.2, 3.8; metatarsomeres: 3.9, 1.7, 1.5, 4.3.</p> <p>Abdomen: intercoxal process of first ventrite twice as wide as long; ventrites sparsely and finely punctate; last ventrite rounded at apex. Aedeagus subfusiform, 2.05 mm in length, 0.45 mm in width, gently curved in lateral view; the very apex broken in the holotype (Fig. 12).</p> <p>Diagnosis – This new species can be easily distinguished from other species described from Taiwan by its elongate and slender body with very finely punctate dorsal surface and incomplete ocular sulcus. See also the subsequent key to the Taiwanese species of the genus Paramisolampidius.</p> <p>Distribution – Only the holotype is known, which is from Hohuanshan in Nantou county. The locality falls into the area of P. shirozui. Although one specimen does not allow drawing conclusions about the niche segregation of these two species, it is probable that P. csorbai and P. shirozui are separated by the altitude, with P. csorbai in Tsuga-Picea and Abies (upper montane and subalpine) zones and P. shirozui in Machilus-Castanopsis and Quercus (submontane and montane) zones, including the montane mixed coniferous forests.</p> <p>Biology – The specimen was collected from the bark of dead trees at night using a torch – a simple but highly effective method of collecting nocturnal saproxylic and mycetophagous tenebrionid beetles.</p> <p>Etymology – This new species is dedicated to Dr. GÁBOR CSORBA (Curator of Mammals, Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest), one of the collectors of the holotype. In spite of his different profession, he is an enthusiastic and productive insect collector who brought back valuable materials from his numerous trips to Southeast Asia.</p></div> 	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D7E342FF87FFECC73DFE58FCD6FC33	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Habitus: Fig. 5; head: Fig. 10; aedeagus: Fig. 14.</p> <p>Remarks – The holotype of P. shirozui was described from the locality in Miaoli county as written in the Specimens examined. However, the specimen bears the locality label written in Japanese (with Latin letters) as follows: “(TAIWAN) / Hokuko- / Kaminoshima-onsen / Byoritsu-ken / 11.iv.1967 / T. SHIROZU“.</p> <p>P. alishanus was described from Alishan on the basis of three specimens. MASUMOTO (1981 a) distinguished it from P. shirozui by “larger, more elongated body, distinct comma-shaped impressions on the pronotum, clearly convex transversely wrinkled, reticulate and microscopically setaceous elytral intervals, and elongate aedeagus”. P. wufengus was described in the same paper on the basis of three specimens from Fenchihu (15 km west of Alishan in the same mountain range), and was separated from P. shirozui by the elytra much more finely punctate-striate and with smooth or feebly reticulate intervals.</p> <p>The senior author collected 21 specimens in a rather small area of forest in Kao-Leng Dyi, which belong to the same species. They exhibit considerable variability in pronotal punctures (sparser or denser), impressions of pronotum (deep, shallow or absent), depth of elytral striae (shallow or deeper), wrinkles of elytral intervals (present or absent), but these are a matter of degree, and the characters occur in all combination. The same is true for the materials from Alishan, Meifeng, Fenchihu etc. This kind of variability is not unusual in various groups of flightless Tenebrionidae, and supports that both P. alishanus and P. wufengus should be synonyms of P. shirozui.</p> <p>This species is apparently not uncommon in the mountains of Chiayi and Nantou counties of Central Taiwan, and some specimens come from the adjacent counties as well. The northernmost locality is Wulai in Taipei county, about 30 km south of Taipei, while the mountains around Alishan and Fenchihu constitute the southernmost part of the area known to date. Altitudinal separation from P. csorbai see under that species.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D7E342FF80FFE1C485F977FD80FD3B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
