Cneorane malayana Medvedev , sp.n.

Fig. 9 .

MATERIAL. Holotype, ♂: Malaysia W., Kelantan, 40 km N of Gua Musang Berangkat Kampong Riek; 1100 m, 15.V.–8.VI.2017, Petr Cechovsky lgt. ( NME).

DESCRIPTION. Male: head, prothorax, scutellum, mesosternum and all femora red, antennae, metasternum, abdomen, tibiae and tarsi black, elytra metallic blue.

Head impunctate, frontal tubercles subquadrate. Antennae reach apical third of elytra, proportions of segments are as 9-5-8-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-12, segment 9 about 3 times as long as wide. Prothorax 1.7 times as wide as long, broadest in anterior third, surface evenly convex, very finely and sparsely punctate. Scutellum trapeziform with rounded apex, shining and impunctate. Elytra 1.4 times as wide as long, parallel-sided, without basal convexity, shining, with moderately dense and strong punctures, not arranged in the distinct rows. Segment 1 of anterior and mid tarsi distinctly widened. Aedeagus — Fig. 9 .

Length of body 5.6 mm.

DIAGNOSIS. Resembles C. tibialis Chujo, 1966 from Nepal and North India, but differs with quite different form of aedeagus.

Alticinae

Bhamoina nigripes Medvedev , sp.n.

Fig. 10 .

MATERIAL. Holotype, ♂: SW-China, Sichuan prov., Abazhou: Nanping: Juizhaigou , 2000 m, 8–13.VI.1991 ( NME). Paratypes: same locality and date, 4 ♂♂, 2 ♀♀ ( NME, 2 ex. — LM) .

DESCRIPTION. Reddish fulvous, antennal segments 411 and legs black.

Body short ovate, 1.4 times as long as wide. Head impunctate, clypeus ridged, frontal tubercles subquadrate, touch each other, vertex grooved in middle. Antennae reach apical slope of elytra, proportions of segments are as 9-5-7- 8-9-8-8-8-7-7-11, segment 9 about 3 times as long as wide. Prothorax 1.8 times as wide as long, broadest before base, finely and very sparsely punctate. Scutellum triangular, impunctate. Elytra 1.1 times as long as wide, with feeble humeral tubercle, confusedly and not densely punctate. Segment 1 of all tarsi widened in male, a little longer than broad. Aedeagus — Fig. 10 . Length of male 4.6–5.0 mm, of female 4.7–5.1 mm.
