李氏盗甲 Leistus lihengae Kavanaugh et Long，1999

鉴别特征：Adults of this species can be distinguished from those of all other known Leistus species by the following combination of character states: body black, antennae, mandibles, labrum and legs entirely pale reddish; head and pronotum with distinct greenish metallic reflection, elytra with brilliant copper or golden metallic reflection; lateral margin of mandible distinctly sinuate; gular setae inserted separately and directly on surface of submentum (gular carina absent); pronotum with lateral margins without or with only a short and very shallow sinuation anterior to obtuse basal angle; male median lobe with apex long and asymmetrically expanded apically, apical orifice without wing sclerites basally.

Members of this species appear to be most similar to those of L. birmanicus Perrault, with which they share general form of the pronotum and shape of the apex of the male median lobe, but from which they can be distinguished by the greenish metallic reflection on the head and pronotum (absent from L. birmanicus), copper or golden metallic reflection of the elytra (greenish in L. birmanicus), antennae and legs entirely pale reddish (antennomere 1 and tibiae darker in L. birmanicus), and basal piece (sagital fin) of male median lobe large (smaller in L. birmanicu).
