高黎贡山盗甲 Leistus gaoligongensis 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, antennomeres 2 to 12, mandibles, labrum, and tibiae and tarsi pale reddish; elytra with distinct greenish - golden metallic reflection; lateral margin of mandible distinctly sinuate; gular setae inserted on very short, separate tubercles not or only slightly connected by low cuticular bridges; pronotum with lateral margin evenly arcuate and with a short , deep sinuation anterior to rectangular basal angle, lateral explanation markedly wide; male median lobe with apex long and asymmetrically expanded apically, apical orifice without wing sclerites basally.

Members of this species are most similar to those of L. brancuccii Farkac, with which they share form of the pronotum and general shape of the apex of the male median lobe, but from which they can be distinguished by their greenish - golden elytral reflection (bronze in L. brancucci), pale reddish antennomeres 2 to 4 (pale brown in L. brancuccii), pale reddish tibiae (darker in L. brancuccii), and longer apex of the median lobe (shorter in L. brancuccii).
