52 E. Kirschenhofer 9 Elytra predominantly yellowish (black spots much reduced); black elytral spot reaching interval 5 shortly behind middle; interval 8 slightly darkened just premedially Taridius (Perseus ) pahangensis (KIRSCHENHOFER, 2003) Elytra with more extensive black spots 10 10 Internal black spot extending behind anterior margin to interval 5, reduced before middle, then broadening and meeting black interval 8 over a broad area; elytral sides widening posteriorly in a more even arch Taridius (Perseus ) vietnamensis (KIRSCHENHOFER, 1996) Internal black spot reduced medially, then widened and subsequently narrowly connected with intervals 6 and 7 to black interval 8; elytral sides widening posteriorly in an almost straight line, only more rounded in apical third Taridius (Perseus ) andrewesi EMDEN, 1937 On the unicoloured black species of Brachinus WEBER, 1801 The numerous species of the genus Brachinus WEBER are represented in all faunistic regions except the Australian continent. Most species have colourful dorsum, with sometimes reddish or yellowish spots on the elytra (subgenus Cnecostolus REITTER, 1919); the head is often reddish or yellowish. Unicoloured black species are rare and poorly known. KIRSCHENHOFER (2003) described three black species from Southeast Asia and placed them in the Brachinus orestes species group based on their smooth apical elytral margin. An additional species of this group is described here from the Sunda Islands (Lombok), a region poorly investigated entomologically. Two additional black species were described from the Philippines by TLAN & DEUVE (2007), but without subgeneric assignment. The poorly known Philippine species B. luzoicus CHAUDOIR, 1876 and B. piceus CHAUDOIR, 1876 were redescribed in that publication, establishing that the latter species has bluish elytra and a reddish head and pronotum. All other species mentioned in that revision are uniformly black, and are included in the list below. Annls hist.-nat. Mus. natn. hung. 102, 2010
