Leistus rezabkovae is a species of ground beetle found in the Gansu Province, China. It belongs to the subgenus Evanoleistus. [1]
It is entirely black and has a rather slim, somewhat heart-shaped pronotum. It has conspicuously wide mandibles. It is very similar to the species L. farkaci . [1]
It has only been found in the Lenglong Ling Mountains, confined to the Gansu Province. They've been found on rocky alpine pastures. It is associated with plants of Rhododendron and Azalea . It may be found by searching under rocks or by sifting through litter and moss. Specimens were collected at altitudes between 3,392–3,900 m (11,130–12,800 ft). [1]
The specific epithet is a tribute to Mrs. Klára Řežábková who has been a friend of the first author, Jan Farkač. [1]
