Kirejtshuk, A. G.: New taxa of Nitidulidae (Coleoptera) from the Indo-Malayan fauna

Atarphia uhligi sp. n. (Figs. 63-68) Material. 2çf, holotype (MHU) and paratype (ZIN), 9, paratype (MHU): N. Vietnam, "Tonkin, Montes Mauson, April-May 2-3000, H. FRÜHSTORFER". Male, holotype. Length 3.7, breadth 2.5, height 1.3 mm. Oval strongly convex; yellow with paler legs and antennae including club, medial part of pronotum somewhat darker, dorsum of head, except apical and basal parts and pattern on elytra reddish black ; shiny ; with long semierect sparse yellowish pubescence, with large brushes of especially long hairs on elytral shoulders; pronotal and elytral sides as well as pronotal basis sparsely and shortly ciliate. — Puncturation of dorsum : head with oval punctures, twice as large as eye facets, separated distance equal to about 1 /5 puncture diameter, intervals almost smooth and shiny; pronotum with punctures and intervals as on head, but separated by distance equal to 0.5-1.0 puncture diameter; elytra with irregular punctures, on average 3 times as large as eye facets, separated by distance equal to 1/6-1/2 puncture diameter and with hardly visible tendency to form longitudinal rows, space between punctures smooth and shiny. Pygidial apex almost transversely abrupt. Middle of metasternum nearly as punctured as pronotum. Elytral epipleura more or less horizontal. — Tibiae about 4/5 as wide as antennái club, intermediate and hind ones with apical outer corner somewhat projected laterally. — Genitalia: Aedeagus well sclerotised. Female. Outwardly differs from the male only in pygidial apex being widely rounded off. — Genitalia: Ovipositor moderately sclerotised. Variation. Length 3.7 3.9, breadth 2.5-2.6 mm. Diagnosis. — This species is similar to A. pallentis sp. n. but distinct from it in its body coloration, shiny dorsal surface, its pronotum being widest at basal third and hardly narrowing to the basis, inner edge of elytral apices emarginate, long and irregular pubescence with brushes on elytral shoulders, apex of its prosternai process flattened and rounded off, different shape of scapus and its last antenna! club segment being distinctly shorter than the 2 preceding ones together as well as in its tegmen apex. Atarphia brunnea sp. n. (Figs. 69-72) Material. I 9, holotype: N. E. Burma, Kambaiti, 7000 ft, 28 May 1934, R. MALAISE (NR). Female. Length 3.6, breadth 2.2, height 1.2 mm. Oval strongly convex; brown with sparse and indistinct blackish spots on dorsum, antennái club black; with weak shine; with rather long, contrasting yellowish grey pubescence forming some brushes or longer hairs on pronotum and elytra; pronotal and elytral sides as well as pronotal basis hardly conspicuously ciliate. — Head somewhat concave behind eye insertions. Surface with oval punctures, scarcely 1.5 times larger than eye facets, separated by distance equal to 1/4-1/2 puncture diameter, intervals smoothedly reticulated. Antennae nearly as long as head broad, their club somewhat more than 1/3 total antennái length, scapus as in A. uhligisp. n., 4th and 2nd segments subequal as well as 3rd and 5th ones somewhat longer. — Pronotum bifoveate at basis with sides widely explanate and distinct basal and apical borders. Surface as on head, but punctures somewhat larger. — Scutellum subsemicircular. with sparse Figs. 53-56. Omosita excellentis sp. n. 9 : 53 — body shape with contour of pattern. 54 - antennái club, 55 = prosternai process, 56 = ovipositor, ventral view. — Figs. 57-62. Atarphia pallentis sp. n. çf : 57 = body shape, 58 = antennái scapus, 59 = antennái club, 60 = prosternai process, 61 = anal sclerite, 62 = tegmen apex, ventral view. — Figs. 63-68. Atarphia uhligi sp. n. çf: 63 = = elytron with contour of pattern, 64 = antennái scapus, 65 = prosternai process, 66 = tegmen, ventral view, 67 = penis, dorsal view, 9 : 68 = ovopositor, ventral view. — Figs. 69-72. Atarphia brunnea sp. n. 9 : 69 = body shape, 70 = antennái club, 71 = mandible, dorsal view, 72 = ovopositor, ventral view. — Figs. 73-77. Lordyrodes kaszabi sp. n. çf : 73 prosternai process, 74 = abdominal apex from above, 75 = tegmen, ventral view, 76 = penis, dorsal view, 9 : 77 — ovipositor, ventral view. — Figs. 78-82. Lordyrodes affinis sp. n. çf : 78 = prosternai process, 79 = abdominal apex from above, 80 = tegmen, ventral view, 81 = penis, dorsal view, Q : 82 = ovipositor, ventral view. — A = scale to Figs. 53, 57, 58, 63, 69; B = scale to Figs. 55. 59. 64. 70; C = scale to Figs. 54, 56, 60-62, 65-68, 73-82; D= scale to Fig. 71
