( Fig. 1B–C View Figure 1 , 2A, C–E View Figure 2 )
Type material. Holotype. Male. “ PHILIPPINES / Marinduque, Buenavista / VI. 2021 / local collector leg.” (typed on a white rectangular label); “ HOLOTYPE / Male / Apocyrtus marinduquensis RukmaneB‚rbale, 2022” (typed on a red rectangular label).
Paratypes (3, 1): All with the same white label as holotype, with additional red rectangular label: “ PARATYPE / Apocyrtus marinduquensis RukmaneB‚rbale, 2022”.
Distribution. Marinduque Island.
Description. Male. Measurements: LB: 8.0 8.9 (holotype 8.4, mean 8.48); LP: 2.2 2.4 (holotype 2.2, mean 2.3); LE: 5.3 5.8 (holotype 5.6, mean 5.58); LR: 1.7 1.8 (holotype 1.8, mean 1.78); WP: 2.6 2.8 (holotype 2.6, mean 2.75); WE: 4.7 4.9 (holotype 4.7, mean 4.8); WR: 1.2 1.4 (holotype 1.3, mean 1.3). N=4 for all measurements. Dorsal habitus as shown in Fig. 1B View Figure 1 .
Body except abdomen black, strongly shiny. Elytra and underside reddish. Markings of shiny, metallic green, yellow or gold round to recumbent scales on elytra, underside and prothorax.
Head nearly smooth, slightly pubescent, without scally margings laterally; forehead wrinkled between eyes, bulging at basal part, impressed at apical part, 1.5 times as wide as eye width; eyes small, prominent from the outline of the head; peak just in the middle; rostrum with moderate pubescence, in dorsal contour straigth, longer than wide, LR/WR: 1.38; dorsally with transverse groove just before the base of each eye, and longitudinal medial groove from middle of rostrum to basal 1/3 of forehead; antennae with basal antennomere three times as long as wide, 1.5 times longer than antennomere II; antennomere II 1.5 times as long as wide, 1.5 times longer than antennomere III; antennomeres III– VII subequal in length and width, as long as wide; club two times as long as wide.
Prothorax strongly rugose, wider than long, WP/ LP: 1.18, without grooves, mingled with single metallic scales chaotically dispersed; in dorsal contour slightly impressed at subapical part, widest just after the middle, decreased to subbasal part and straight to basal margin; anterior edge dorsally straight, posterior edge strongly curved apically.
Elytra subspherical, longer than wide, LE/WE: 1.19, LE/LP: 2.55, WE/WP: 1.81, with moderate rugosity, without clearly expressed intervals, with markings of chaotically dispersed single scales; widest just at the middle. Genitalia as shown in Fig. 2A View Figure 2 .
Female. Measurements: LB: 10.1; LP: 2.2; LE: 7.1; LR: 1.7; WP: 2.7; WE: 5.3; WR: 1.2. N = 1 for all measurements. Elytra with strongly extended apex, in dorsal contour with impression along basal 1/2, otherwise as in males. Dorsal habitus as shown in Fig. 1C View Figure 1 . Genitalia as shown in Fig. 2D–E View Figure 2 .
Differential analyses. The new species is similar to A. auroraensis RukmaneB‚rbale, 2021
( Fig. 1A View Figure 1 ) by body colour and green scales on body, but is easily distinguishable by the following characters: 1) elytra of A. auroraensis with longitudinal hollows in all lenght that lack rugose elytra of A. marinduquensis sp. nov.; 2) posterior edge of prothorax more strongly curved apically in A. marinduquensis sp. nov.; 3) antennae with longer basal antennomere and wider club in A. marinduquensis sp. nov.; 4) different shape of aedegal body ( Fig. 2B View Figure 2 ).
Etymology. The species name is dedicated to geographic locality where species is originally reported.
