Diagnosis

Indoquedius malaisei can be distinguished from other members of the Sikkimensis group in the mainland Oriental region by the combination of: antennomeres 6–11 milky yellow; elytra reddish and paler than head and pronotum.

Redescription

The species was recently redescribed and diagnosed by Smetana (2017a) under the name I. nonparallelus . For additional details, see Zhao & Zhou (2010). A dorsal habitus is provided in Fig. 1A View Fig .

Distribution

Myanmar (Kachin), China (Yunnan).

Remarks

Although Scheerpeltz stated the holotype of I. malaisei was a female, it is in fact a male whose aedeagus corresponds perfectly to that of I. nonparallelus syn. nov., which becomes a junior synonym. The type locality of I. nonparallelus (“Gonggashan County, Yunnan” = Gongshan Derung and Nu Autonomous County) is north of Kambaiti Pass and near the Chinese border with Myanmar. The holotype of I. nonparallelus was not examined but it was examined by Smetana (2017a) and illustrated in the original description with detail sufficient to make the above synonymy.
