Abstract

A new species, Morimotanthribus leigongshani sp. nov. (Anthribidae: Anthribinae: Phloeophilini), from Guizhou and Guangxi provinces, South China, is described. Male genitalia are studied and illustrated and colour photographs are provided. The new species is compared with the only other known species of the genus, M. chinensis Senoh & Trýzna, 2006. A key is provided to distinguish Morimotanthribus from the similar Palaearctic and Oriental genera Bothrus Wolfrum, 1956 and Phloeophilus Schoenherr, 1833.
