Medvedev, L. N.: Chrysomelidae (Coleoptera) of Laos from the collection of the Hungarian Natural History Museum

Remarks - Near T. suturalis KlMOTO et GRESSITT, 1982, but body entirely fulvous and much larger, frons and prothorax impunctate. Tricliona minuta sp. n. (Eumolpinae) (Fig. 5) Description - Very near to preceding species, differing only in a few characters. Entirely fulvous, 5 apical segments of antennae darkened on apex. Body elongate. Head impunctate, frons not or very feebly grooved. Prothorax 1.4 times as wide as long, broadest in basal third, with lateral margins distinctly rounded; surface impunctate. Scutellum triangular, a little broader than long. Elytra 1.2-1.25 times as long as wide, with distinct, however not deep postbasal impression, rows of punctures very feeble and distinct mostly in postbasal impression. Aedeagus rounded on apex, with small central tip (Fig. 5). Length 2.8-3.8 mm. Type material - Holotype (male): Laos, Bolikhamsay Prov., Phou Khao Khouay NBCA, Tad Leuk Waterfall, 280 m, 11-12 April 1998, (HNHM). Paratypes: same locality and date, 1 male, 4 females (HNHM, 2 specimens - LM). Remarks - It differs from T. laotica sp. n. mainly in the shape of the aedeagus. Hoplasoma allardi sp. n. (Galerucinae) (Fig. 6) Description. Very near to H. longicornis ALLARD, 1888, differs only in other form of elytral apices, darkened tibiae and tarsi and parallel-sided aedeagus. Pale flavous, apical half of antennae infuscate, tibiae and tarsi fuscous to black (very feebly darkened in specimens from Vietnam). Apices of elytra feebly emarginate, with acute suturai angle (in H. longicornis they are broadly rounded). Aedeagus thin and long, parallel-sided, in lateral view curved just near base (Fig. 6) while in H. longicornis it is spear-like and curved much further from base. Length of male 7-7.1 mm, of female 7.5-7.8 mm. Type material - Holotype (male): Laos, Champassak Prov., Dong Hua Xao NBCA, 2 km S of Nong Luang village, the bank of Touay-Guai stream, 15°4'N, 106°13'E, 800 m, 1-5 April 1998. (HNHM). Paratypes: same locality, 1 male (LM), 1 female (HNHM); - Laos, Champassak Prov., Dong Hua Xao NBCA, camp near Nam Phak River, 15°58'N, 105°55'E, 280 m, 28-29 March 1998, at light, 1 female (HNHM); - Vietnam, Tarn Dao, 900 m, VII. 1982, leg. L. MEDVEDEV, 2 females (LM). Remarks - It seems that this new species is distributed in Laos and North Vietnam, while H. longicornis, described from "East India" is known only from South Vietnam.
