Ślipiński, S. A.: A rewiew of the Cerylonidae (Coleoptera) from New Guinea

Cerylon angoramus sp. n. Body oval, long, parallel-sided, slightly convex; dorsal surface reddish brown, shiny, sparsely, indistinctly pubescent. — Head with anterior clypeal margin rounded, not emarginate medially surface convex, micropunctured ; frons and vertex convex with punctures a little larger than on clypeus, 1 diameter apart, spaces between them smooth; eyes coarsely facetted, prominent, fully developed; antenna 10-segmented with club as long as segments VII-IX together, antennái segment II as long as I, which is twice longer than wide, segment III 1.5 times longer than wide, segment IV subquadrate, V-IX slightly transverse. — Pronotum slightly transverse (20:25); anterior margin scarcely and widely emarginate medially, not bordered ; anterior angles obtuse, not prominent ; lateral margins arcuate, converging toward base and fore margin, pronotum widest at middle; lateral margins finely and narrowly bordered; pronotal base almost straight, not bordered; posterior angles obtuse, not prominent; pronotal disk coarsely punctured, punctures round, separated by 1.5 diameters, spaces between them smooth, shiny. Scutellum transverse, triangular, dorsal surface smooth. — Elytra nearly twice as long as wide (40:23) with the maximum width at about one third from bases; each elytron with 7 rows of punctures; striae not grooved; intervals between striae wide, flat impunctate; epipleura impunctate. — Ventral side: prosternai process long, nearly parallel-sided, only somewhat widened apically; dorsal surface impunctate, flattened, shiny; mesosternum narrow, impressed medially; femoral lines on metasternum and ventrite 1 absent; ventrites and metasternum sparsely punctured. — Legs: femora and fore tibia wide, expanded apically but not abruptly clavate; tarsi 4-segmented. — Length 1.5 mm, width 0.6 mm. Holotype: New Guinea (NE) Angoram, 13-16 VIII 1969, (No. NGA-B. 57) DR. J. BALOGH (TMB). — Three paratypes : with same data as holotype (TMB). Note — This species is closely related to Cerylonopsis quadricolle (SHARP) but is more convex, and has 4-segmented tarsi. Cerylon baloghi sp. n. (Fig. 1) Named after DR. J. BALOGH who has collected a number of interesting Cerylonidae in New Guinea. Body elongate-oval, somewhat convex; dorsal surface densely punctured, pilose, shiny.

— Head: anterior clypeal margin widely, scarcely emarginate medially, surface convex, shiny, punctured, setigerous punctures separated by one diameter; frons and vertex convex, larger than clypeus punctured, punctures 1-1.2 diameter apart; eyes fully developed, normally facetted; antenna 10-segmented with oval club, which is as long as segments VI-IX together, segment II as long as wide, segment III slightly longer than wide, segments IV-VIII subquadrate, IX transverse, rounded. — Pronotum transverse (27:34) widest behind middle, more narrowing forwards than backwards (Fig. 1); anterior margin broadly, arcuately emarginate, not bordered; anterior angles acute, slightly prominent, posterior ones obtuse; lateral margins arcuate, finely, distinctly denticulate, entirely and widely bordered; pronotal base unbordered, feebly emarginate beside scutellum and shallowly sinuate beside nearly rectangular, not prominent posterior angles; disk coarsely punctured, punctures a little larger than on vertex, round, separated by 1.5-2 diameters apart. Scutellum transverse, pentagonal, sparsely punctured, shiny. — Elytra elongate-oval (51:37), 1.3-1.4 times longer than wide, widest at one third from bases, rounded apically; each elytron with rows of punctures and yellowish setae; intervals flat, pilose, impunctate. — Ventral side coarsely punctured; fore coxal cavities narrowly closed behind; prosternai process long, nearly parallel-sided, rounded apically, surface coarsely punctured; femoral lines on metasternum slightly visible, on ventrite I absent; ventrites with two rows of setigerous punctures near anterior margin. — Legs : tarsi 4-segmented, tibia slightly expanded apically. — Length 1.9—2.1 mm, width 0.9-1.2 mm. Holotype (sex not determined): New Guinea (NE) Wau, McAdam Park, 29 VIII 1968 (No. NG-W-B.40), DR. J. BALOGH (TMB). — Four paratypes, all from New Guinea: 1, Wau, Kilolo Creek 1000 m, 31 VIII 1968 (No. NG-W-B. 58), DR. J. BALOGH (in author's coll.); 3, R-te de Bulolo'a Wau, N. 241, 30 XI 78, L. DEHARVEUG (MHNG). Notes — unlike the other species of Cerylon, since it has the lateral, pronotal margins finely denticulate.
