Zootaxa. 2024 Oct 23;5528(1):393-398. doi: 10.11646/zootaxa.5528.1.29.

Abstract

A new species, Oxytelus sishuishanus Lü, is described from Hunan, China. This species closely resembles O. ailaoshanicus Lü & Zhou, 2012, but can be distinguished by the male clypeus, which is not so protruding as in O. ailaoshanicus, and by the symmetrically mirrored apical forking of the aedeagal parameres.
