Micropseudochillus subgen. nov.

Type species. Pseudochillus (Micropseudochillus) palawanus sp. nov., here designated.

Description. Body length 3.2–3.9 mm. Clypeus concave with small tooth situated slightly to the right (Fig. 13). Tempora at most as long as eye length. Suborbital keel reduced. Occiput sometimes with mid-longitudinal impression. Intervals on elytra without humeral corner, base of elytra slightly narrower than pronotal base, elytra with one row of setae on intervals 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9. Antennomeres thick, wider than long, only antennomere 3 can be slightly longer than wide. Differential diagnosis. Micropseudochillus subgen. nov. differs from both remaining subgenera in oval elytra without humeral corners; elytra with rows of setae; antennomeres thick and wider than long. The remaining subgenera have elongate elytra, almost parallel in middle third; junction of intervals 7 and 9 forming small obliquely directed humeral corner; glabrous elytra; antennomeres longer than wide.

Etymology. The name refers to Greek ‘ mikros ’ = small and the genus name Pseudochillus; gender masculine.
