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

and very shallow punctures and crossundulate reticulation. — Elytra with well raised shoulders and some tubercles hardly defined and covered with brushes of long hairs, their sides widely explanate and subsutural lines approaching the suture. Pygidium with apex widely rounded off. — Ventral surface with very short and sparse pubescence ; puncturation as on head and pronotum, but sparser (especially on middle of metasternum, where distance between punctures is about 1/2-1 puncture diameter). Prosternai process as in A. uhligi sp. n., nearly twice as large as antennái club, slightly convex at apex. Distance between intermediate coxae subequal, but that between hind ones 1.3 times as large as that between fore. Apex of last abdominal sternite widely rounded off. Elytral epipleura weakly upwardly sloping laterally. — Tibiae subparallelsided, 3/4 as wide as antenna! club. Femora nearly twice wider than tibiae. Tarsi almost 1/4 as wide as tibiae, their claws slightly dilated at basis. — Genitalia: Ovipositor moderately sclerotised. Diagnosis. — A. brunnea sp. n. is in part similar to A. fasciculata REITTER, 1884, but distinct from it in its lighter coloration, slighter and denser pubescence on dorsum; somewhat more slender body shape, pronotal surface being more gently convex and its sparser tubercles with long hairs on the elytra. Lordyrodes kaszabi sp. n. (Figs. 73-77) Material : 1 çf, holotype (TM) and 1 9- paratype (ZIN): India, W. Bengal, Darjeeling Distr., Debrapani, 1700 m, from mushroom, 1 June 1980, Gy. TOPÁL. Male. Length 3.7, breadth 2.2, height 1.1 mm. Almost oviform, rather convex: reddish, antennae, except 1st and 2nd segments, darker, nearly black; shiny; with not dense, moderately long, yellow pubescence, forming on each elytron 9 longitudinal rows of longer hairs, pronotal and elytra! sides as well as pronotal basis being inconspicuously ciliate. Antennái apices surpassing pronotal basis at scutellum. — Genitalia: Aedeagus moderately sclerotised. Female. Length 3.6 mm. Differs from the male only in pygidial apex being widely rounded off and in absence of anal sclerite exposed. — Genitalia : Ovipositor well sclerotised. Diagnosis. — This species as well as the following one are closely related and fairly similar to L. latipes REITTER, 1984, but both of them are distinct from it in their narrower and not-curved fore tibiae. Both new species are distinguished from one another only is shapes of prosternai process, pygidial and anal sclerite apices of male and also in genital structures of male as well as of female. Lordyrodes affinis sp. n. (Figs. 78-82) Material, i çf, holotype (ZIN): Vietnam, mountains near Sapa, 2100 m, 23 May 1963, O. KABAKOV; 1 çf, paratype (ZIN): ibid., mountain Fansipan, 2100 m, 25 May 1963, O. KABAKOV; 3 çf, paratypes (MHU and ZIN) : N Burma, "Ober-Burmah, Ruby-Mines. 5000-7500 feet, V. HEYNE" ; 1 9, paratype (NR): NE Burma, Kambaiti, 7000 ft, 4-8 June 1934, R. MALAISE. Male, holotype. Length 3.6, breadth 2.4. height 1.2 mm. Almost oviform; reddish, antennái club darker (dark brown); shiny; as pubescent as preceding species. Antennái apices scarcely reaching to pronotal basis at scutellum. — G e n t i a 1 i a : Aedeagus well sclerotised. Female. Pygidial apex almost as acute as the one in the female. — Genitalia: Ovipositor well sclerotised. Variations. Length 3.6-3.8 mm. Pocadius majusculus sp. n. (Figs. 83-90) Material. 6 çf, Q, holotype (ZM) and paratypes (ZM) and (ZIN) : N. Thailand, Doi Suter 1100 m, 19 June 1958, B. DEGERBOL. Male, holotype. Length 7.0, breadth 3.3, height 2.0 mm. Elongate oval, moderately convex; slight brown; moderately shiny; with short, sparse, feebly conspicuous yellowish pubescence, elytral and pronotal sides sparsely and finely ciliate. — Head widely and shallowly concave, with anterior
