03C587AEFFCAFF9586D7A242FB707F62.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Loeblites chinensis can be readily separated from other congeners by the aedeagus being widest near the middle in dorso-ventral view, and by the “ m ” shaped transverse sclerite near the middle of the aedeagal endophallus.	en	Zhou, De-Yao, Li, Li-Zhen (2015): Discovery of the genus Loeblites Franz (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Scydmaeninae) in China, with description of a new species.

03C587AEFFC9FF9586D7A74BFC93797A.taxon	discussion	Comments. The very dense granules on the vertex, clypeus and pronotum and form of the spermatheca of this female are similar to those of Loeblites mastigicornis Franz from Thailand. However, unambiguous identification of this specimen will be possible when associated males are found.	en	Zhou, De-Yao, Li, Li-Zhen (2015): Discovery of the genus Loeblites Franz (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Scydmaeninae) in China, with description of a new species.
