Serralanguria, a new genus of Languriini (Coleoptera, Erotylidae) from the Oriental Region, including one new species and one species transferred from the genus Languria
A new genus, <i>Serralanguria</i> <b>gen. nov.</b> (type species: <i>Serralanguria sinensis</i> <b>sp. nov.</b>), 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: <i>Serralanguria ochreipennis</i> (Fowler, 1890), <b>comb. nov.</b>, initially considered in <i>Languria</i> and later in <i>Caenolanguria</i> and <i>Anadastus</i>. A key to the genera of Languriinae known from China is provided.
