A new genus reveals distinct morphological features in the Languriini tribe, suggesting evolutionary diversity.
A new genus, Serralanguria gen. nov. (type species: Serralanguria sinensis sp. nov. ), of the tribe Languriini from Asia is described and illustrated. This genus is characterized by a spherical, smooth pronotum, an elongate-oval terminal antennomere, and a terminal tarsomere distinctly broadened apically. On the basis of these morphological features, a new combination is proposed: Serralanguria ochreipennis (Fowler, 1890), comb. nov. , initially considered in Languria and later in Caenolanguria and Anadastus . A key to the genera of Languriinae known from China is provided.
