New species and records of the genus Lesteva Latreille, 1797 (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Omaliinae) from Jiangxi province, China.

The genus Lesteva Latreille, 1797 has been recently, intensively studied in China and twenty species are currently known from this vast territory (Rougemont, 2000; Watanabe, 2005; Li & al., 2005; Ma & al., 2012; Ma & Li, 2012). In this paper, I describe a new species of the genus with yellow round elytral spots, as well as provide records of L. (s.str.) pulcherrima Rougemont, 2000 and L. (s.str.) submaculata Rougemont, 2000 from Jiangxi province. The material examined is deposited in: NMPC—National Museum, Prague, Czech Republic (M. Fikácek, J. Hájek). Methods. In the annotated list below, both geographical and ecological labels are separated by “,”, different lines in labels are separated by “|”, necessary notes within the label are shown in square brackets. Morphological studies were carried out using Zeiss Discovery V8 and V12 stereomicroscopes. A digital camera (Sony Alpha DSLR-A300) was used for photographs and all figures were enhanced using AdobePhotoshop software. All measurements are given in millimeters and were made with a stereoscopic microscope using an ocular micrometer.
