A new species, Apecholinus speciosus Sun & Liu, sp. nov. collected from Mangshan, Hunan Province, China, is described. Illustrations of taxonomically important characters and photographs of the habitus are provided. The new species is compared to Apecholinus imitator Smetana & Hu, 2019. The complete mitochondrial genome of A. speciosus was sequenced, assembled, and annotated. Phylogenetic analysis based on mitochondrial genomes showed that two Apecholinus species form a clade sister to Ocypus and Dinothenarus, and they all belong to the Ocypus lineage.
本文描述了在中国湖南省莽山采集到的一个新物种——华丽阿佩肖叶甲（Apecholinus speciosus Sun & Liu, sp. nov.）。文中提供了分类学重要特征的图示及整体形态照片。将该新物种与2019年发现的仿阿佩肖叶甲（Apecholinus imitator Smetana & Hu）进行了比较。对华丽阿佩肖叶甲的完整线粒体基因组进行了测序、组装和注释。基于线粒体基因组的系统发育分析表明，两种阿佩肖叶甲属物种形成了一个分支，与扁甲属（Ocypus）和迪诺扁甲属（Dinothenarus）构成姐妹群，它们都属于扁甲谱系。
