I think it's a small Dorcus tonkinensis, formally known as D. gracilicornis.

it it absolutelly not D. gracilicornis. i caught quite several D. gracilicornis there with you,the elytra of D. gracilicornis is striped,but this one is a single specimen came to my light trap after you gone in another place (Mdog),the elytra is just so smooth,also the mandiable & teeth looks different.. that's obvious! i asked a chinese lucanidae entomologist he said was Dorcus yaksha = gracilicornis.
the two sp. exist the name problem,he is now modisfying the name.

I had a better look at the Dorcus sp we caught together when I came home. I think they were all D. reichei reichei, just the same sp with striped. If you have a look at "The Lucanid Beetles of the World" D. tonkinensis is in plat 163 and no 752-5, D. reichei reichei is in plat 172 and no 770-11.
