Doliops tamutisi sp. n.

( Fig. 8A, B, C )

Type material. Holotype: Male. Philippines: Mindanao, Bukidnon, Intavas , 04.2014, local collector leg.

Paratypes: 2 Females. Philippines: Mindanao, Bukidnon, Cabanglasan , 06.2014, local collector leg .

Description. Body black, with light luster. Elytra covered by pale iridescent scales, except for narrow transverse band along basis of elytra and before middle, and after it with longitudional band along suture. Body length: 12.8 – 13.0 mm, largest width: 5.2 – 5.6 mm.

Head almost square, parallel-sided, with bilobate eyes. Part of head between eyes and protrudet antennal bases with longitudinal band of pale, iridescent scales and thin, straight median line without scales. Cheeks beneath eyes with wide transverse spot of pale scales and with sparse very fine punctuation. Labrum pubescent and punctate, with golden or greenish luster. Head black, glossy, with golden luster; convex in the frontal part, with very fine microsculpture and with fine tomentum. Two basal an-tennomeres black with metallic luster and pubescence, third antennomere testaceous basally, black apically and with widened apex, fourth antennomere testaceous, with very fine white pubescence, remaining antennomeres testaceous and tomentose. Pronotum convex, very shiny, with delicate, transverse microsculpture and sparse punctuation, with large spots of longitudinal and transverse bands dorsally. Scutellum rounded, shiny and tomentose. Elytra finely punctate, convex, black, shiny, with greenish metallic luster and covered with pale, iridescent scales, except for narrow transverse band along basis of elytra and before middle, and after it with longitudional band along suture. Each elytron with slightly protruding shoulder bumps on the sideand behind shoulders on both sides with very weakly raised nodules and small wide impressions. Width of elytra at level of shoulders: 4.4 – 4.6 mm. Largest width of elytra is behind the middle: 5.2 – 5.6 mm. Meso-, metaepimera and sternites spotted laterally, covered by pale scales. Femora black, with greenish metallic luster and with small pale spot at apex, more or less tomentose. Dorsal surface of tarsomeres covered by grey, iridescent tomentum. Tibia and tarsi covered by numerous setae in apical part.

Aedeagus ( Fig. 8C ).

Differential diagnosis. The new species by body surface features similar with Doliops edithae Vives, 2009 ( Fig. 10E ) and D. cuellari Vives, 2012 ( Fig. 8D, E ). Pronotum of D. tamutisi sp. n. with large spots of longitudinal and transverse bands dorsally, but pronotum of D.edithae and D. cuellari different: emarginated D. edithae and spotted with rounded spots D. cuellari .

Etymology. This species is named after my colleague and friend, Lithuanian coleopterologist Vytautas Tamutis (Kaunas, Lithuania) in appreci-ation of cooperation.
