Description:Asin S. persculpturatus nov.sp.
Length: 2.8-3.3mm (forebody: 1.5-1.6mm).
PM of the HT: HW: 30.5; DE: 15.5; PW: 22.5; PL: 23; EW: 27.2; EL: 24; SL: 18.5
Male: Metasternum shallowly impressed, moderately coarsely, densely punctate. Ventral abdominal characters as in S. persculpturatus , but sternite 8 slightly deeper emarginate, emargination as deep as one fifth of the length of sternite. Aedeagus (fig. 25) very close to that of S. persculpturatus , but the apical portion of the median lobe more acute, the expulsion hooks different in shape.
Female: Sternite 8 at posterior margin triangularly projecting, apex nearly acute (fig. 9). Spermatheca (fig. 56), infundibulum short and broad.
Comparative notes:Inmostrespectsas S. persculpturatus , but the abdominal thread-like margination distinct and complete and the bump like elevated median portion of frons slightly broader impunctate. To identify this species examination of the sexual characters is necessary.
Etymology: Since the impressions on pronotum and elytra are very distinct, I name this new species " persculptus " (Lat. = distinctly sculptured).
