Metatibia swollen, at middle forming conspicuous tooth-like process projecting above flattened apical portion of metatibia; peg-like setae grouped as dense field on apical third, and extending in fairly continuous row to apex of distal side of tooth-like process; proximal side of tooth-like process convex, with at most 2 peg-like setae. Aedeagus (Figs 10, 13) with ventral wall slightly narrowed at base and evenly narrowed to blunt right-angled apex in ventral view, and with ventral outline slightly sinuate to apex slightly recurved ventrally in lateral view. Female. Gonocoxal plate with lateral portions of dorsobasal margin concave to middle portion subangled, markedly projecting anterad.

FFA430E38FB9531BB9F65FB414D9C05B.taxon	distribution	Distribution and natural history. Megarthrus flavolimbatus is the most widespread member of the genus in the Oriental Realm, with records ranging from North India (Himachal Pradesh and West Bengal) to Yunnan Province and Taiwan in China (Cuccodoro 2003, 2011); here, we report it for the first time also from Fujian, Hunan, Shaanxi and Sichuan Provinces in China (Fig. 41). It was found at elevations ranging from 250 to 3375 m a. s. l. in Taiwan (Cuccodoro 2011), and its altitudinal range appears quite wide also in mainland China (i. e., from 1000 to 1700 m a. s. l. in Fujian, from 7000 to 1200 m a. s. l. in Hunan, from 1850 to 2480 m a. s. l. in Yunnan, from 650 to 2400 m a. s. l. in Sichuan, and at 1200 m a. s. l. in Shaanxi). The species occurs in various types of forests (evergreen broadleaved, deciduous broadleaved, mixed coniferous and evergreen broadleaved, and coniferous forests) as well as in orchards, where it was collected mainly from sifted samples of moist decaying debris of vegetation (leaf litter, humus, rotting wood) with fungi, and occasionally even from chicken excrement (Cuccodoro 2011).	en	Liu, Zhiping, Cuccodoro, Giulio (2021): Megarthrus of China.

602F4690185057AFB7C03D6DE2D14DA1.taxon	distribution	Distribution and natural history. Megarthrus hemipterus is the most widespread member of the genus, with records ranging from the United Kingdom in the West to China, South Korea, Japan, and Far East Russia in the East (Cuccodoro 1996; Cuccodoro and Loebl 1997; Cuccodoro et al. 2011). It occurs in a wide range of microhabitats (carrion, fungi, leaf litter, and various types of decaying organic matter); in South Korea it was abundantly collected from fresh and rotten fungi. The first record for China without precise locality data (Cuccodoro and Loebl 1997) refers to the three specimens cited here from Chi-Kuan Shan from the Max Bernhauer's collection, housed in the FMNH. The species, which occurs on most land masses surrounding the Sea of Japan, seems to reach its southern limit of extension in China in the Western Hills (Fig. 41), where it was collected in mid-April at 1400 m a. s. l. from mixed woodland litter on Mount Dongling (Beijing).	en	Liu, Zhiping, Cuccodoro, Giulio (2021): Megarthrus of China.
