Háva, J.: A new species of the genus Phradonoma Jacquelin du Val, 1859 from Ethoipia (Coleoptera: Dermestidae: Megatominae)
6 Natura Somogyiensis The type specimens are deposited in the following collections: NMPC - National Museum, Prague, Czech Republic; JHAC - Jiff Háva, Private Entomological Laboratory & Collection, Únétice u Prahy, Prague-West, Czech Republic. Specimens of the described species are provided with red, printed labels with the text as follows: „HOLOTYPE (or PARATYPE, respectively) Phradonoma hulai sp. nov. Jiri Háva det. 2019”. The nomenclature and zoogeography follow Hava (2015). Description Genus Phradonoma Jacquelin du Val, 1859 “Phradonoma nobile species group” Phradonoma hulai sp. nov. (Figs. 1-3) Type material. Holotype (<$): ETHIOPIA, Ginir prov., forest in valley to Sof Omar cave, 1249 m, 16.vi.2011, V. Hula, J. Niedobová & M. Moradmand leg., (NMPC). Paratypes (11 spec.): same data as holotype, (8 NMPC, 3 JHAC). Description of holotype. Male. Body black and brown, oval. Body measurements (mm): TL2.8 EW 1.9. Head coarsely punctuate, with short more or less decumbent white-yellow setae, maxillary palpi darkish brown, eyes large with microsetae, antennae with 11 antennomeres with three antennomered club. Antennomere I is dark brown, antennomeres II-VIII are brown, IX-XI brownish-black (Fig. 4). Forehead with ocellus. Pronotum entirely dark black, shiny, sparsely and not very coarsely punctate, with intermixed white and yellow erect setae. Lateral margins slightly visible from above. Scutellum small, black, triangular, without setation or punctures. Elytra black with brown apical part, sparsely and coarsely punctate, sparsely covered by slightly erect brown and white setation. Each elytron with small isolated white spots arranged in narrow fasciae. The underside of the specimen coarsely and (especially the visible ventrite) more densely punctate than elytra and pronotum, covered with straight and decumbent white-yellowish setae. Tibiae and tarsi brown, femora anteriorly darkened and sparsely covered with fine brown hairs, anterior tibiae with dark brown thorns. Male genitalia as in Fig. 3. Female. Externally very similar to male, but the antenna is a little bit shorter with a slightly smaller club (Fig. 2). Variability. Body very dark brown to black with brown apical part; measurements (mm): TL 1.9-3.3. The apical brown area varies in size. Differential diagnosis. The new species belongs to the “Phradonoma nobile species group” as defined by Háva et al. (2013). The new species very similar to P. zavattari Háva, 2015 (Ethiopia) but differs from it and other known Affotropical species belonging to the species group by the structure of antennae and male genitalia. Etymology. Patronymic, dedicated to the collector of the new species and my friend Vladimir Hula (Brno, Czech Republic).
