New and little-known species of Car abidaefrom Asia (Coleoptera, Carbidae) 37 Description - Habitus: Fig. 26. Length 4.7 mm, width 2.1 mm. Colour and lustre: head, pronotum and elytra blackish brown; pronotum slightly lightened, sides of pronotum and elytra brownish; clypeus, labrum, mandibles, palpi, antennae and legs reddish yellow; head and pronotum moderately shiny, elytra matter; dorsum with dense recumbent yellow setation; venter brownish black, with feeble lustre, densely setose. Head: medially weakly convex, rather smooth, with large protruding eyes; temples short, inconspicuous; mandibles conically narrowing towards apex. Pronotum: 1.82 times as wide as long, sides roundly narrowing anteriorly, widest before middle and there weakly angled, from there narrowing in shallow arch to sharp, obtusely angled posterior angles; disc medially weakly convex, marginal groove moderately wide in front, posteriorly clearly widened and opening out into pit-shaped, rather deep basal impressions; anterior and posterior margins straight; median line rather deeply incised in middle, not reaching anterior margin or base. Elytra: broadly oval, rather square, medially moderately convex, declivous towards sides, moderately depressed medially in anterior third; base straight, united with lateral margin in a broad arch; humeri broadly rounded, not declivous; sides widening in shallow arch posteriorly, near apex more strongly rounded, broadly narrowing; marginal groove moderately wide; striae moderately deeply incised, finely punctate at bottom; intervals rather flat, densely punctate. Distribution - Indonesia: Sulawesi. Etymology - The species is named after its provenance. Comparisons - This is an unicoloured species of the genus with angular pronotal sides, resembling M. klapperichi JEDLICKA, 1953 (type locality: "China, Prov. Fukien"), but the latter is clearly larger (6.5-7.5 mm). The temples are shorter in M. sulawesiensis and the pronotum is distinctly wider than the head. The anterior pronotal margin of M klapperichi is distinctly sinuate (straight in M. sulawesiensis ) with the base bilaterally clearly declivous (rather straight in M. sulawesiensis). Lebia (Poecilothais) cucphuongensis sp. n. (Fig- 27) Type material - Holotype (female): "Vietnam: Cue phuong, Ninh binh, 11.-17.V. 1966, Exp. Gy. Topál/Nr. 335, beaten bushes in forest" (HNHM). Description - Habitus: Fig. 27. Length 5.5 mm, width 2.8 mm. Shape broad, short ovoid; elytra widened in a weak arch posteriorly, widest behind middle, rather strongly and evenly convex. Colour and lustre: head and pronotum reddish yellow; elytra yellow, each with 3 small black spots; mandibles, palpi, antennae and legs reddish yellow; dorsum glabrous, smooth, shiny; elytra normal, smooth; anterior spot in anterior fifth covering intervals 1 to 5; a slightly transverse smaller spot present just behind the middle, covering Annls hist.-nat.
