Zootaxa

The genus Batriscenellus Jeannel is redefined, and its taxonomic placement discussed. The subgenera Scaioscenellus Jeannel, Batriscenellinus Nomura, and Nipponoscenellus Nomura are placed as synonyms of Batriscenellus, and the genus is divided into six species groups. Three eastern Chinese species, B. chinensis, B. femoralis, and B. pulcher, are described as new. The following new combinations are created: B. auritus (Löbl), B. satoi (Nomura) and B. subpalpicolus (Nomura), all moved from Batrisiella to Batriscenellus. New distributional records for B. orientalis and B. auritus in China are provided. Illustrations of major diagnostic characters are given for the new and the newly recorded Chinese species. An identification key to the species groups and to the Chinese species of Batriscenellus is given. A checklist of Batriscenellus is presented.

... Among these, the genus Diartiger Sharp represents the most diverse group, comprising six species (Nomura 1997a, b;Yin 2018;Yin et al. 2010;Yin & Li 2013, 2014Yin & He 2020). In contrast, other genera are typically less frequently encountered in the field and are represented by only one to two species each (e.g., Nomura 1997c;Yin et al. 2011Yin et al. , 2012Hlaváč et al. 2017;Yin 2023a). The peculiar monospecific genus Archiclaviger Raffray, previously known from a single species in Java, was unexpectedly discovered in Jiangsu Province , suggesting China's potential role as a habitat for taxa previously documented from the southeastern Oriental Region. ...

... Our knowledge of the taxonomic and ecological diversity of myrmecophilous Pselaphinae in China has been continuously increasing during the past decade. A number of new genera and dozens of new species belonging to the supertribes Euplectitae, Goniaceritae, Pselaphitae, and especially Clavigeritae and Batrisitae were described from various areas of the country (e.g., Yin et al., 2010aYin et al., -c, 2011aYin et al., -c, 2012aYin et al., -d, 2013Yin et al., , 2015aYin & Li, 2012, 2013a-c, 2014, 2015Zhao et al., 2010;Jiang & Yin, 2016, 2017Yin, 2017aYin, , b, 2018aYin & Lin, 2020;Yin & He, 2020). So far, the Chinese fauna of the obligate myrmecophilous supertribe Clavigeritae is represented by seven genera and 15 species, with the genus Diartiger Sharp being the most diverse group, containing seven species (Nomura, 1997;Li et al., 2019;Yin & He, 2020). ...

... There are a few other recently described batrisine genera from East Asia that host different ant genera and show morphological peculiarities related to myrmecophily, e.g., Pengzhongiella Yin & Li (Odontomachus), Lisubatrus Yin, Loeblibatrus Yin (Ectomomyrmex), and Myrmicophila Yin & Li (Myrmica) (Yin & Li 2013c;Yin 2017Yin , 2018Yin , 2021Yin et al. 2011;Zhang & Yin 2022).

Within Pselaphini, Bellenden shares with many genera the elongate maxillary palpomeres II and IV, but its palpomere IV is broadening throughout the entire length, rather than lengthily pedunculate or distinctly narrowed at the base. In Yin et al.
