F8696D37FF903C74FF2DFBBA6AE6A94B.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This new species belongs to the cicindeloides group. It can be easily distinguished from S. (H.) cicindeloides (Schaller) and S. (H.) yiae Zhao & Zhou sp. nov. by spots on elytra. It is similar to S. (H.) verticalis Benick, but can be distinguished from the narrow apical part of median lobe and small body. Although the median hooks of S. (H.) primivenatus Zhao & Zhou sp. nov. is not distinct sclerotized like other species of the cicindeloides group, the median hooks are still connected by slightly sclerotized part. Maybe this new species is primitive in this species group. Detailed description and illustrations of the species are provided by Zhao & Zhou (2008).	en	Zhao, Cai-Yun, Zhou, Hong-Zhang (2020): Validation of Stenus (Hypostenus) primivenatus and Stenus (Hypostenus) yiae (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Steninae).

F8696D37FF903C74FF2DFA366DAAAB67.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This new species belongs to the cicindeloides group. It can be easily distinguished from S. (H.) verticalis Benick and S. (H.) primivenatus Zhao & Zhou sp. nov. by the absence of spots on elytra. It is similar to S. (H.) cicindeloides (Schaller), but differs from the latter by having a broad apical part of median lobe and a different spermatheca structure. Detailed description and illustrations of the species are provided by Zhao & Zhou (2008).	en	Zhao, Cai-Yun, Zhou, Hong-Zhang (2020): Validation of Stenus (Hypostenus) primivenatus and Stenus (Hypostenus) yiae (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Steninae).
