A new species of the stage beetle genus Lucanus Scopoli, 1763 (Coleoptera: Lucanidae: Lucaninae) from China and new data of Lucanus hewenjiae Huang & Chen, 2013
The type genus of Lucanidae, Lucanus Scopoli, 1763, exhibits a high diversity in China, currently comprising 60 Chinese species. Here we describe a new species of Lucanus from Sichuan, China: Lucanus wangyifani sp. nov. We also first record Lucanus hewenjiae Huang & Chen, 2013 from Hunan Province, and discuss the difference between the specimens from Hunan and Guangxi. The variation of L. wangyifani sp. nov. and L. hewenjiae are illustrated.
