42 E. Kirschenhofer only antennomere 1 darkened, the others reddish yellow). Pronotum is more strongly sinuate medially, marginal groove wider anteriorly, anterolateral angles not as acute, elytra preapically not as obliquely obtuse. Serrimargo vietnamensis sp. n. (Fig. 32) Type material - Holotype (female): "S-Vietnam, 40 km NW of An Khe, Buon Luoi, 620-750 m, 28.3.-12.4.1995,14.1 ON, 108.30 30 E, Pacholarko & Dembicky leg." (NMW). Description - Habitus: Fig. 32. Length 10.4 mm, width 5.0 mm. Shape: broad, flat; width proportions of head 38: pronotum 39: elytra 80. Colour and lustre: head, pronotum and elytra black-brown, marginal groove and pronotum widely lighter brown; mandibles, labrum and anterior clypeal margin reddish brown; first antennomere blackened, other antennomeres, palpi and tarsi reddish yellow, femora and tibiae blackened; protibiae api­cally lighter (brownish); head shiny, pronotum and elytra duller due to microsculpture; dorsum glabrous; venter blackish brown, shiny, glabrous. Head: with strongly and hemispherically protruding eyes; temples obliquely narrow­ing to neck; mandibles rather long, with anterior third distinctly deflexed; labrum much longer than wide, truncate apically; head with groovy but smooth irregularities. Pro­notum: 1.44 times as wide as long (measured in middle), with distinctive shape; marginal groove wide and shallow, densely transversely rugulose, before posterior angles shortly ex­tended; anterior angles protruding, broad and flat, meeting sides in a sharp obtuse angle; anterior margin bilaterally strongly sinuate, posterior angles sharp, obtuse; base bilaterally weakly arcuate; disc smooth, convex; median line sharply incised, not reaching anterior margin or base. Elytra: laterally convex, roof-like up to suturai interval; marginal groove narrow basally, in anterior third very wide, weakly narrowing posteriorly, at widest point (in anterior third) with a distinct groove which also briefly interrupting ninth interval; ba­sal ridge complete, roundly meeting lateral margin; humeri broadly rounded; sides preapi­cally broadly incised, preapically shortly angled, apex of suture with small protruding denticle; striae rather deep, finely punctate at bottom; intervals mildly convex, with a row of very fine and shallow punctures. Microsculpture: head smooth, not chagreened; pro­notum with dense, narrow transverse reticulations; elytra with narrow transverse reticu­lation. Distribution - South Vietnam. Etymology - It is named after the provenance. Comparisons - Differs from S. guttiger SCHAUM, 1869 (type locality: "Borneo") as follows: dorsum darker, more shiny; the wider and slightly up­curved lateral margin of pronotum arid elytra is much lighter in S. guttifer. Serrimargo vietnamensis sp. n. is much more shiny dorsally, with anterior Annls hist.-nat. Mus. natn. hung. 102, 2010
