Armostus amplelevatus Jia 1995, comb. nov.

Description

Armostus amplelevatus (Jia, 1995), comb. nov.

Cercyon amplelevatus Jia, 1995 in Jia et al. 1995: 130.

Type material examined. Holotype: 3 (SYSU), Guangzhou, viii-1938, lgt. Zhelong Pu. Paratypes: 1 3, 1 Ƥ, same data as holotype (SYSU).

Comments. The species bears all characters diagnostic for Armostus listed by Hansen (1991) and Hoshina & Satô (2006), and we therefore transfer the species from Cercyon to Armostus.
