Full title: Contributions to the knowledge of the myrmecophilous pselaphines (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Pselaphinae) from China. III. Two new genera and two new species of the subtribe Batrisina (Staphylinidae, Pselaphinae, Batrisitae) from a colony of Lasius niger (Hymenoptera, Formicidae, Formicinae) in East China.

Abstract: Two new genera and two new species of subtribe Batrisina, viz., Songius lasiuohospes gen. et sp. nov. and Sinotrisus nomurai gen. et sp. nov., from Zhejiang Province, East China are described and illustrated. Both genera were collected from a colony of Lasius (Lasius) niger (Linnaeus, 1758) and belong to the Tribasodes genus-group (defined by Nomura \& Idris, 2003) by reason of having the metatrochanter with a denticle or a protuberance on the posterior margin in the male and totally asymmetrical aedeagus with an uncomplete dorsal apophysis. Systematic positions of the new genera are discussed. A key to the myrmecophilous genera of subtribe Batrisina known from China is provided.
