Leistus tanaognathus is a species of ground beetle found in the Yunnan Province, China.

Description

The color scheme in this species is black, reddish brown, and pale red. The legs, except the femora, are reddish. The pronotum and elytra are black but the pronotal lateral margin is paler. The pronotum is shiny but the rest of the body is relatively matte, although the elytra are slightly iridescent.

Distribution and ecology

The species is only known from one specimen from Nankang Yakou, Baoshan County in the Yunnan Province.

The holotype was found running across dry leaf litter near a stream but was not found again. 80 specimens of L. gaoligongensis, a species described at the same time as L. tanaognathus, were found in the same place.

Etymology

The specific epithet of this species comes from the Greek words "tanaos" (long) and "gnathos" (jaw), which refer to its characteristically long jaws.
