Elytra 2.4 times as long as wide at base. Hind wings (Fig. 21) without MP 4 vein. Intraspecific variation. The variations mainly occur in size of yellow setal spots on pronotum (the four spots on front of middle remarkable in figs 22, 25, 28, 34, 37; left two of the four spots not remarkable in fig. 31; figs 22, 25, 28, 31: male; figs 34, 37: female), density of short yellow setae along suture and near apical 2/5 of elytra (sparse in figs 22, 28, 34, 37; slightly dense in figs 25, 31), size and color of setal spots at sides of middle of elytra (the spot indicated by a red arrow, the spot sub-oval white in fig. 23, sub-oval pale-yellow in fig. 26, curved pale-yellow in fig. 29, sub-triangular yellow in fig. 32, oval white in fig. 35, sub-triangular yellow in 38), shape and number of setal marks at apical 2/5 of elytron (with three separate and sub-oval white spots in figs 22–33, with three partially connected and sub-oval pale-yellow spots in figs 25–26 and 37–38, with three partially connected and sub-oval white spots in figs 28–29, with a short and wide transversal white band in figs 31–32 and 34–35), density and color of setae of abdominal ventrites (ventrites II–IV sparsely covered with short white setae except for apical sides and ventrite V sparsely covered with short white setae in fig. 24, ventrites II–IV sparsely covered with short pale-brown setae except for apical sides and ventrite V densely covered with short pale-brown setae in fig. 27, ventrites II–IV sparsely covered with short brown setae except for apical sides and apical middle and ventrite V densely covered with short pale-brown setae in fig. 30, ventrite II densely covered with short pale-brown setae except for apical sides and apical middle, ventrites III–IV sparsely covered with short pale-brown setae except for apical sides and apical middle, and ventrite V densely covered with short pale-brown setae in fig. 33; ventrite V densely covered with short pale-brown setae in fig. 36, ventrite V sparsely covered with short pale-brown setae in fig. 39). Diagnosis. This new species is very similar to Paraclytus excellens Miroshnikov & Lin, 2012 (Figs. 7–11 in Miroshnikov & Lin 2012) and Paraclytus thibetanus (Pic, 1914) [Figs 5–6, 11, 45 –46, 81, 117, 178– 182 in Miroshnikov (2014)] by the body color, and by the similar setal spots on pronotum and elytra. The new species can be distinguished from P. excellens by the pedicel and antennomeres III–V sparsely covered with short white setae, and apically with sparse short black setae (entirely covered with sparse short black setae in P. excellens), antennomere VII black, and antennomeres VIII–XI reddish-brown with black apex (just antennomeres VII–X reddish-brown with black apex and whole antennomere XI reddish-brown in P. excellens); by the meso- and metatibiae and meso- and metafemora entirely black (meso- and metatibiae mostly reddish-brown at basal dorsum and sides and meso- and metafemora reddish-brown at base in P. excellens); the elytra entirely black (reddish-brown apically in P. excellens), covered with dense short white setae apically (covered with sparse short white setae apically in P. excellens) and narrowed near apex (wide near apex in P. excellens), the abdominal ventrites II–V of females covered with dense short pale-brown setae (covered with sparse short pale-brown setae in P. excellens). This new species can be distinguished from P. thibetanus by the pedicel and antennomeres V–VI sparsely covered with short black setae apically (covered with short white setae apically in P. thibetanus); antennomeres VII–XI black (antennomeres VII–X reddish-brown except for apex black, and antennomere XI reddish-brown in P. thibetanus); elytra covered with dense short white setae apically (with sparse short white setae apically in P. thibetanus) and by the pronotum of males with six small yellow steal spots (with six large yellow steal spots in P. thibetanus). Etymology. The scientific name of this new species is dedicated to Mr. Zi-Chun Xiong (Ṟṵø) from Lincang, Yunnan, China for donating materials and providing photographs of this new species. Type specimens examined. Holotype: male (LPSNU), CHINA: Yunnan Province: Pinghe reservoir, Yongbao Town, Yun County, Lincang City, 20 December 2018, Zi-Chun Xiong & Lei Shen leg. Paratypes: 3 males, 2 females (LPSNU), same data as holotype. Distribution. China (Yunnan). Remarks. All specimens examined were collected in rotten wood of unknown tree species (Figs 40–45) during December 2018 (Zi-Chun Xiong per. comm.).
