New and little-known species of Car abidaefrom Asia (Coleoptera, Carbidae) 53 Brachinus (Brachynidius) lombokensis sp. n. (Figs 9-10, 40) Type material - Holotype (male): "Lombok, Pasu, 1.12.2003, leg. Y. Yokoi" (ZSM). Paratypes (3 females): Lombok, with the same data as the holotype (ZSM); 1 female (NMW). Description - Habitus: Fig. 40. Length 16.0-17.5 mm, width 6.7-7.0 mm. Colour and lustre: head, pronotum and elytra black; frons next to eyes with usually vague reddish yellow, short spot; palpi, antennae, tibiae and tarsi brownish, femora darkened; dorsum with silky lustre; elytra laterally with short setation; venter blackish brown, weakly shiny, and with short setation. Head: smooth; frontal grooves rather wide and shallow, just reaching level of anterior margin of eyes; frons weakly convex, next to eyes with a few fine longitudinal ridges, neck with a few fine punctures; eyes large, moderately protruding, temples obliquely narrowing in straight line. Pronotum: barely wider than long, sides narrowing anteriorly in a weak arch, posterior angles extended sharp, slightly protruding; anterior angles briefly projecting; anterior margin straight; basal impressions oblique, weakly curved, moderately deep; disc weakly convex; base straight; median line just reaching base and with some punctures next to it on each side. Elytra: rather broad and oval, with sides widening posteriorly in distinct arch; humeri protruding; basal ridge incomplete, reaching level of interval 5 proximally; elytra widest in apical fifth; intervals smooth, ridges weakly elevated, scarcely reaching apex; apical margin smooth, rather truncate. Underside: metepisterna narrow, much longer than their anterior width, weakly narrowing posteriorly, smooth; venter smooth, dull, with short and dense setation; meso- and metatibia with dense villosity inside. Aedeagus: median lobe in lateral view weakly arched, only weakly bent medially on ventral side, deflexed distally; apex widely rounded; in dorsal view wide, evenly but weakly narrowing toward apex, the latter weakly pointed, sides not extended (Figs 9-10). Distribution - Indonesia: Lombok. Lombok belongs to the Lesser Sunda Islands and is part of the Nusa Tenggara Barat province of Indonesia. Etymology - It is named after the type locality. Comparisons - This species is closest to Brachinus dawnaensis KlRSCHENHOFER, 2003, B. merkli KlRSCHENHOFER, 2003 and B. orestes KlRSCHENHOFER, 2003 (= Brachinus orestes group, see KlRSCHENHOFER 2003: 11 ). It differs from B. merkli as follows: pronotum before base weakly extended, pronotum smooth (feebly rugosely punctate in B. merkli ), humeri more protruding. The species placed in this group share the following characters: dorsum unicoloured black; head with two reddish spots in anterior half, often confined to frontal depressions; elytra often convexly ridged, intervals very finely punctate and setose, rarely almost smooth, apex straightly truncate Annls hist.-nat.
