New and little-known species of Car abidaefrom Asia (Coleoptera, Carbidae) 41 reddish yellow, elytral epipleura a lirtle darkened, glabrous, shiny, smooth. Head: smooth, with strongly bulging eyes and short temples; mandibles moderately long, with last third apically roundly narrowing. Pronotum: 2.46 times as wide as long, smooth; behind base and near basal impressions with some scattered fine punctures; medially weakly convex; anterior margin weakly arcuate, sides roundly narrowing to broadly rounded, barely protruding anterior angles; posterior angles acute, obtuse-angled, sides obliquely narrowing basad, shortly extended just before; base bilaterally rather widely and obliquely truncated; marginal groove moderately wide in front, clearly widended posteriorly; basal impressions oblique, moderately deep, pit-shaped; median line finely incised, hardly reaching anterior margin or base. Elytra: broadly oval, flat on disc; basal ridge complete, strongly arcuate, meeting lateral margin in arch; sides preapically broadly rounded, hardly extended; apex of elytral suture rounded; striae moderately deeply incised, indistinctly punctate; intervals weakly convex, third with 3 setigerous punctures, first two contiguous with third stria, posterior one with second stria; fifth interval clearly widened near spot, before middle. Last abdominal ventrite: bilaterally with 2 setigerous punctures, with rear margin widely depressed and with a median fossa. Microsculpture: head densely and extremely finely chagreened, rather dull; pronotum extremely finely transversely bilineate; elytra with extremely fine transverse reticulation. Distribution - Malaysia: Pahang. Etymology - It is named after the provenance. Serrimargo pahangensis sp. n. (Fig. 31) Type material - Holotype (female): "Malaysia-W, Pahang, 30 km E of Ipoh, 1500 m, Cameron Highlands, Tanahrata, 2o.II. - 3.III. 1998, leg. P. Cechovsky" (CAD). Description - Habitus: Fig. 31. Length 16.0 mm, width 5.5 mm. Colour and lustre: head, pronotum and elytra blackish brown; pronotal and elytral marginal groove broadly lighter brown; mandibles, labrum and anterior clypeal margin reddish brown; first antennomere blackish, second reddish yellow, third and fourth darker but apically reddish lightened, remaining antennomeres reddish brown; palpi and tarsi reddish yellow; tibiae and femora brownish, protibia distally lighter; head shiny on frons between eyes; posterior part of frons, vertex and neck area more matt due to microsculpture; pronotum and elytra also duller due to microsculpture; dorsum glabrous; venter blackish brown, smooth, shiny, glabrous. Distribution - Malaysia: Pahang. Etymology - It is named after the provenance. Comparisons - The species is unicoloured and is here compared to S. vietnamensis sp. n. Serrimargopahagensis sp. n. is larger than the latter (which is 10.4 mm long), with antennomeres 1, 3 and 4 darkened (in S. vietnamensis Annls hist.-nat. Mus. natn. hung. 102, 2010
