            <p> Genera of  Hemipeplinae</p>
            <p> Historically, there have been only two genera in  Hemipeplinae viz.  Hemipeplus Latreille, 1829 and  Holopeplus Arrow, 1930 . The type species for  Hemipeplus is  H. hemipterus by subsequent monotypy while the type species for  Holopeplus is  H. cubensis by original monotypy.  Hemipeplus is the most speciose genus and is cosmopolitan, but  Holopeplus is monotypic and only documented from the Greater Antilles. In this study, a third genus  Eurypeplus KC &amp; Pollock ,  gen. nov. , is described from Africa (Madagascar), which is monotypic, with  E. quadrimaculatus KC &amp; Pollock ,  sp. nov. , being its type species. </p>

            <p> Nemicelus LeConte, 1856: 79 . Type species:  Nemicelus marginipennis LeConte, 1856 (by monotypy).— Horn 1880: xiv; Leng 1920: 200; Thomas 1985; Poole &amp; Gentili 1996: 315. Junior synonym of  Hemipeplus as per Lacordaire (1854). </p>
            <p> Ochrosanis Pascoe, 1866: 444 . Type species:  Ochrosanis dohrnii Pascoe, 1866 (by monotypy).— Gestro 1873: 363; Horn 1880: xiv; Leng 1920: 200; Hetschko 1930: 90; Poole &amp; Gentili 1996: 315. Junior synonym of  Hemipeplus as per LeConte (1873). </p>
            <p> Derivation of generic name: The name  Hemipeplus comes from the Greek words hemi, meaning ‘half’, and peplo, meaning ‘a body-length garment’. The genus is based on  H. hemipterus which has truncate elytra that do not cover the entire abdomen as though by a “half-length garment”. </p>
            <p>Adult Diagnosis: Head wide; eyes located posterior of midlength of head (Pollock 1997, 1999); pronotum wide and cordate often with a distinct, anterior setose pronotal pad; abdominal process narrow; last tergite of abdomen not angulate or pointed in males (Pollock 1997, 1999); body elongate; elytra flat and subparallel, bearing apical patches.</p>

            <p> Types species:  Eurypeplus quadrimaculatus KC &amp; Pollock ,  gen. nov., sp. nov. , by present designation. </p>
            <p> Derivation of generic name: The name  Eurypeplus (masculine) is based on the superficial resemblance of the type species of this genus to members of the mycterid subfamily  Eurypinae . </p>
            <p> Adult Description: Head wide; eyes located posterior of midlength of head, as in  Hemipeplus ; cranial neck present, as in the species of  Hemipeplinae ; pronotum elongate and not wide, cordate, campanulate, transverse, or subquadriform; in the type specimen, which is a female, a visible fovea present medially on the fourth abdominal ventrite; body elongate, but more dorsoventrally convex than in  Hemipeplus or  Holopeplus , somewhat resembling  Eurypinae ; elytra widened at midlength, no visible apical patches; prosternal process short, as in most  Hemipeplus ; hypomeral edges broadly separated; mesanepisterna broad and flat, as in  Hemipeplinae ; mesosternum narrower and more medially raised than in the other two genera; abdominal process not as narrow and pointed as in other  Hemipeplinae , rather wide, but equally long; scutellar shield raised, as in  Mycterinae , but other characters do not line up with  Mycterinae . Taxonomically, it appears rather to be somewhere in between  Eurypinae and  Hemipeplinae , but we prefer not to erect a separate subfamily, Eurypeplinae. Based on its ventral characters and rather elongate body, we classify it within  Hemipeplinae as the third genus in this subfamily. </p>

            <p> New World  Hemipeplinae</p>
            <p> There are 17 described species of  Hemipeplinae from the New World, included in the genera  Hemipeplus and  Holopeplus . These species were described or re-described exhaustively by Pollock (1999). In this study, five new species are described expanding the number of New World species to 22. Four species were found in the Nearctic (USA) while 21 species were found in Central and South America, and the Greater Antilles. Most of the species in this region have distinct temples and pronotal pads. </p>

            <p> Types species:  Holopeplus cubensis Arrow , monotypic, junior synonym of  Holopeplus gundlachi (Grouvelle, 1878) as per Scott (1933). </p>
            <p> Derivation of generic name: The name  Holopeplus is a derivation of the name  Hemipeplus . Arrow (1930) described  Holopeplus based on the feature that its elytra cover the entire abdomen unlike in  Hemipeplus , hence holo, meaning ‘full’, and peplus meaning ‘garment’. </p>
            <p> Adult Diagnosis: Head elongate; eyes located at about mid-length of head (Arrow 1930; Pollock 1999); pronotum elongate with convex anterior margin; anterior pronotal pad distinct, heavily setose, raised shelf-like; abdominal process narrow; the last abdominal tergite angulate and pointed in males (Arrow 1930); most of the other characters consistent with the adults of  Hemipeplus ; body elongate; elytra flat and subparallel, bearing apical patches. </p>

            <p> Taxonomic Note. Based on the description of  H. hemipterus in Lacordaire (1854), it is conspecific with  H. marginipennis (LeConte, 1856) . Lacordaire’s taxon cannot be  H. abditus because the latter is known to have temples and darker head and pronotum in all its examples and is not uniformly pale as the taxon described by Lacordaire (1854) who made no mention of temples either in his description. Furthermore, Lacordaire (1854) noted that the specimen on which  H. hemipterus was described did not originate from Scotland, the type locality, and was “doubtless” imported by ship from another location. Thomas (1985) acknowledged the potential for synonymy but refrained from formally synonymizing owing to the absence of a type specimen for  H. hemipterus , which is either lost or destroyed (see Arrow, 1930). We made further efforts to locate the type specimen, but these attempts were unsuccessful. Although LeConte presented the description of  H. marginipennis in a meeting in 1854, it was not formally published until 1856 (LeConte 1856).  Hemipeplus marginipennis is a more popular name than  H. hemipterus ; however, the latter has been used as a valid name by Nevermann (1936) and Thomas (1985), whereas the former, to the best of our knowledge, has not been used in at least 25 publications by ten authors over the past 50 years. Therefore,  H. marginipennis does not meet the criteria in Article 23.9 of ICZN (1999) to warrant it a nomen protectum status. Thus, we treat  H. marginipennis as a junior synonym of  H. hemipterus . We designate the neotype from Florida that best aligns with Lacordaire’s (1854) description. Since the original type specimen was an introduced stray insect and its exact type locality cannot be traced, selecting a type from Miami-Dade County, Florida, where the insect has been frequently collected, seems appropriate. This designation serves to stabilize the taxonomy of  H. hemipterus and provide a clear reference for subsequent studies. </p>

            <p> Diagnosis.  Hemipeplus hemipterus is distinguished by three key characters: the absence of temples, truncate elytral apices, and pale coloration.  Hemipeplus hemipterus has the following diagnostic features: temples absent (in some specimens appear as short and rounded extensions behind eyes); scape elongate; eyes large (as long as the scape), wide (convex) to moderately wide; pronotum elongate with a deep anterior emargination throughout the width of anterior margin; anterior half gradually wider than posterior half; anterolateral angles indistinct, rounded; pronotal pad slightly raised on lateral view; posterolateral angles obtuse, roundish; pronotal lobe short with median notch; scutellar shield subpentagonal, transverse, less than twice as wide as long; elytra very flat, truncate at the apices exposing most of the last visible abdominal tergite; color uniformly pale brown; distribution: southeast USA, Bahamas, Canada (accidental introduction on palm), Cuba, Mexico (Pollock 1999). </p>
            <p>Male Genitalia (Figs 3. 2D–E). (Tegmen length = 1.05–1.18 mm (n = 6)) Lobe of basale long and blunt; shoulders very slanted and not angulate; apicale and basale fused without a distinct suture; parameres elongate, slightly arcuate apically; penis shorter than tegmen.</p>
            <p>Variation. Specimens remarkably vary in size and width of the pronotum; some specimens have slightly produced temples which appear rounded but not angulate; elytra of some specimens appear slightly sinuate and not truncate at apices.</p>
            <p> Remarks. At least  Hemipeplus hemipterus ,  H. abditus (Mexico), and  H. rodericensis (Africa) most likely deserve a separate placement, perhaps a genus, for their unique male genitalic structure (elongate tegmen with apicale and basale fused), and external morphology (very long subquadriform pronotum, and a long and narrow prosternal process that extends to the posterior of procoxae). Apart from the long subquadriform pronotum,  H. egregius and  H. gounellei should also belong to this group. These species are also truly flat while most other species have a slightly convex elytral disc apically. The apicale and basale of the tegmen are separated with distinct suture in almost all other  Hemipeplus whose male specimens were studied, none of them have pronotum that long and subquadriform, and the prosternal process is short and limited to the anterior of procoxae. A more reliable separation of these species into a distinct genus may be achievable following molecular analysis in the future. </p>
            <p>Geographical Distribution (Fig. 61). Southeast USA, Bahamas, Canada (stray), Cuba, Mexico (Pollock 1999).</p>
            <p> Natural History.  Hemipeplus hemipterus is associated with  Sabal palmetto (  Arecaceae ); however, upon inspection of larval gut contents, fungal components (  Alternaria Nees ex Wallroth sp. ,  Curvularia Boedijn sp. , and  Ulocladium Preuss sp. ) were found and no damage to the palm fronds was seen (Thomas 1985). Adults have been collected from unopened fronds and decaying stumps of the palmetto; they have also been collected from  Acoelorraphe wrightii (Griseb. &amp; H.Wendl.) H.Wendl. ex Becc. (  Arecaceae ) (Thomas 1985; Thomas &amp; Woodruff 1986; Pollock 1999). According to specimen label data, adults have been collected from light traps, malaise traps, and suction traps. </p>

Hemipeplus abditus has the following diagnostic features: temples short and angulate but distinct; scape elongate; eyes large (as long as the scape), moderately wide, and moderately convex; pronotum elongate with anterior emargination slightly shallower than in  H. hemipterus ; anterior half only slightly wider than posterior half; anterolateral angles indistinct, rounded; pronotal pad more distinctly raised than in  H. hemipterus ; posterolateral angles obtuse, slightly angulate; pronotal lobe short with median notch; scutellar shield subpentagonal, transverse, not twice as wide as long; elytra very flat, truncate at the apices exposing most of the last visible abdominal tergite; color brown with darker head and pronotum; distribution: Mexico (Queretaro and Tamaulipas). </p>

            <p> Male Genitalia (Figs 4D–E). (Tegmen length = 0.96–0.98 mm (n = 2)) Very similar to those of  H. hemipterus , except that the shoulders of the basale are more angulate, and the parameres are straighter in lateral view, whereas those of  H. hemipterus are more sinuate. </p>
            <p> Remarks. Since the genitalia are not very distinct from those of  H. hemipterus ,  H. abditus might be a Mexican subspecies of  H. hemipterus ; signs of temples also appear in some specimens of  H. hemipterus , although they are not angulate. However, Pollock (1999) suggested that these two species are sympatric. Analysis of DNA of these two species could produce a more accurate result. For now, we treat  H. abditus as a valid species, given the consistent morphological differences in all examined specimens. </p>

            <p> Hemipeplus dominicensis Pollock, 1999: 65 , Figs 2C, 5C, 11. </p>
            <p>Taxonomic Note. Although Pollock (1999) stated that the holotype is the middle specimen of three, the label indicates that the top specimen is the holotype. Therefore, we have given precedence to the holotype label over Pollock’s (1999) statement.</p>
            <p> Type Material.  Holotype, male, top specimen of three specimens on same pin, labeled: ‘ Republic Dominican Bani 19.1.1976 leg. J.S. Klapperich [underside of label] 4.11.1973 / SMNS / [green label] ♂ top / [red label]  HOLOTYPE (top spec.) &amp; paratypes  Hemipeplus dominicensis ,  n. sp. D.A. Pollock’, in SMNS. Two paratypes, mounted on the same pin as the holotype, in SMNS  . </p>
            <p> Diagnosis.  Hemipeplus dominicensis can be distinguished by its elongate scape, lack of temples, and uniformly rufotestaceous color.  Hemipeplus dominicensis has the following diagnostic features: temples absent; scape elongate, widened apically; eyes large (as long as scape + pedicel), moderately wide and moderately convex; pronotum subcordiform with an indistinct but broad anterior emargination; anterolateral angles slightly produced, broadly rounded; pronotal pad present but less distinct; posterolateral angles obtusely rounded; pronotal lobe brief with indistinct median notch; scutellar shield subhexagonal, transverse, about twice as long as wide; elytra flat; color uniformly rufotestaceous, dull; distribution: Dominican Republic. </p>
            <p>Male Genitalia (Figs 7D–F). (Tegmen length = 0.42 mm (n = 1)) Lobe of basale short, sharp, and thin; shoulders acutely pointed with an upward slant; apicale and basale without distinct suture; parameres sinuate with pointed apices; inner margin of parameres with a notch near halfway; penis subequal in length to tegmen; parameres laterally surrounded by sheath-like structures (hereafter referred to as lateral sheaths).</p>
            <p> Remarks.  Hemipeplus dominicensis is closely related to  H. chaos (USA, Mexico) and  H. insularis (Dominican Republic) owing to the presence of lateral sheaths surrounding the parameres. </p>

            <p> Diagnosis.  Hemipeplus microphthalmus can be distinguished among US species by its small eyes, elongate temples, and pale color.  Hemipeplus microphthalmus has the following diagnostic features: temples prominent and very elongate (more than 1/3 length of eye); scape submoniliform; eyes small (slightly longer than the scape), shallow to moderately wide and less convex to moderately convex; pronotum subcordiform, narrow and elongate with a slight and narrow anterior emargination; anterolateral angles produced, rounded; pronotal pad distinct; posterolateral angles obtusely rounded; pronotal lobe indistinct with median notch; scutellar shield subhexagonal to subpentagonal, transverse, less than twice to about twice as wide as long; elytra slightly convex; color uniformly testaceous to rufotestaceous; distribution: southeast USA extending west to Texas. </p>
            <p>Male Genitalia (Figs 8D–F). (Tegmen length = 0.38 mm (n = 1)) Lobe of basale short and blunt; shoulders slanted and obtusely angled; apicale and basale with distinct suture; parameres almost straight with slightly arcuate apices; apices of parameres very pointed and thin; inner margin of parameres with separate sharp thin lines that arise from basale; penis longer than tegmen.</p>
            <p>Variation. Specimens exhibit variability in size and morphology, with some having smaller bodies, less convex eyes, and longer temples, while others are larger, with more convex eyes and shorter temples (Pollock, 1999).</p>
            <p>Geographical Distribution (Fig. 61). Southeast USA (Alabama, Florida, Georgia; South Carolina, Mississippi (Pollock 1999); Virginia (Hoffman 2006 )), extending west to Texas.</p>
            <p> Natural History. Unlike the other congeners found in the USA,  Hemipeplus microphthalmus has been found associated with various types of grasses, such as  Andropogon brachystachyus Chapm. (  Poaceae ),  A. virginicus L.,  Cladium P.Browne spp. (  Cyperaceae ), and  Typha L. spp. (  Typhaceae ), instead of palms (  Arecaceae ); they have also been collected by sweeping  Salicornia L. (  Amaranthaceae ) at night (Blatchley 1925; Thomas 1985; Thomas &amp; Woodruff 1986; Pollock 1999). According to specimen label data, they were also collected from  Andropogon glomeratus (Walter) Britton, Sterns &amp; Poggenb. Thomas (1985) mentioned that larvae of  H. microphthalmus are found in the compressed leaf bases and stalks of various kinds of grasses. The larvae collected from  Andropogon showed mostly fungal hyphae in their guts suggesting these beetles are primarily mycophagous (Thomas 1985). Adults have been collected using various traps, including flight intercept traps, blacklight traps, and malaise traps, as indicated by specimen label data and Pollock (1999). </p>

            <p> Hemipeplus quadricollis Pollock, 1999: 71 , Figs 3F, 6F, 10. </p>
            <p> Taxonomic note. The paratype available from Peru (Madre de Dios Department) is  H. pseudoquadricollis KC &amp; Pollock ,  sp. nov. ; it is possible therefore that the additional Peruvian paratype of  H. quadricollis mentioned in Pollock (1999) from Loreto Department may in fact be  H. pseudoquadricollis sp. nov. Thus, Peru, for now, is removed from the distribution of this species until the remaining Peruvian paratype (in FSCA) is studied. </p>
            <p> Type Material. Holotype, sex unknown, labeled: ‘ BRAZIL: Rondonia, 62 km. SW Ariquemes, nr. Fzda. Rancho Grande 12–IX–1992 U.

            <p> Diagnosis.  Hemipeplus quadricollis can be distinguished from the similar-appearing  H. pseudoquadricollis sp. nov. (Fig. 14) by its prominent temples and a narrower emargination on the anterior margin of the pronotum, which does not extend across the width of the neck.  Hemipeplus quadricollis has the following diagnostic features: temples prominent and obtuse, rounded (about 1/3 length of eye); scape short, moniliform; eyes large (longer than scape + pedicel), moderately wide and moderately convex; pronotum subquadriform, wide and flat with indistinct emargination narrower than the neck; anterolateral angles slightly produced, rounded; pronotal pad not very distinct; posterolateral angles squarish, angulate; pronotal lobe slight without median notch; scutellar shield heptagonal, transverse, less than twice as wide as long; body short and subquadriform; elytra more or less flat; color uniformly testaceous to rufotestaceous; distribution: Brazil (Rondônia). </p>

Male genitalia dorsal view without spiculum gastrale; E. Tegmen dorsal view (with scale bar); F. Tegmen lateral view with one paramere removed. </p>
            <p>Male Genitalia (Figs 10D–F). (Tegmen length = 0.27 mm (n = 2)) Lobe of basale short and slender; shoulders obtuse, rounded, not much slanted; apicale and basale with distinct suture; parameres straight, slightly sinuate near the apical half; apices of parameres very pointed and thin, inner margin with a notch near the apical half; penis subequal to tegmen.</p>
            <p>Variation. Some specimens have slightly deeper anterior emargination on pronotum while some have fairly straight anterior margin of pronotum.</p>
            <p> Remarks. A similar species found in this study,  H. pseudoquadricollis , superficially resembles  H. quadricollis and is sympatric; however, the male genital morphology is different. Externally as well, there are noticeable differences such as those given in the diagnosis. </p>
            <p>Geographical Distribution (Fig. 62). Brazil (Rondônia).</p>
            <p> Natural History. According to specimen label data, adults of  H. quadricollis have been collected from blacklight traps; Pollock’s (1999) specimen, collected by canopy fogging in a rainforest, is  H. pseudoquadricollis sp. nov.</p>

            <p> D.A. Pollock’, in NMNH (this was initially  H. quadricollis ); 1 specimen, male, labeled: ‘ BRAZIL: Mato Grosso, 12°50’S, 51°47’W 30.iii.1968, O.W. Richards R.S. &amp; R.G.S. Exped, B.M. 1968-260 / At light /  MYCTERIDAE Hemipeplus sp. det. R.A. Crowson’, in BMNH. </p>
            <p> Derivation of Specific Epithet. The specific name (adjective in the nominative case, in gender agreement with substantive) is given in allusion to the resemblance of this new species to  H. quadricollis . </p>
            <p> Diagnosis.  Hemipeplus pseudoquadricollis can be distinguished from the similar-appearing  H. quadricollis (Fig. 10) by its shorter temples and pronotum with wider anterior emargination which extends across the width of the neck.  Hemipeplus pseudoquadricollis has the following diagnostic features: temples short and angulate; scape short, moniliform; eyes large (longer than scape + pedicel); pronotum subquadriform, wide and flat with a distinct anterior emargination which extends across the width of the neck; anterolateral angles produced, rounded; pronotal pad distinct but narrow; posterolateral angles obtuse; pronotal lobe indistinct without median notch; body short and subquadriform; elytra more or less flat; color uniformly testaceous to rufotestaceous; distribution: Brazil (Rondônia), Peru (Madre de Dios). </p>
            <p>Description. Measurements (in mm)—GHW: 0.60–0.66; HL: 0.52–0.58; AL: 0.78–0.87; GPW: 0.66–0.68; PL: 0.48–0.53; GEW: 0.93–1.00, EL: 1.90–2.00; TL: 2.90–3.11.</p>
            <p> Head (Fig. 14B) wide (GHW/HL: 1.14–1.15); eyes large (longer than scape + pedicel), wide and convex; temples short and angulate; occiput without raised areas; antennae shorter than head and pronotum length combined; antennal scape short and moniliform; pedicel small moniliform; antennomere III more elongate and apically dilated; IV short and moniliform; V slightly larger, apically dilated; VI–X subtriangular or bowl-shaped, each wider than the next; XI subpyriform with apex narrowed after notch; lateral mandibular tooth absent. Pronotum (Fig. 14B) wide (GPW/PL: 1.28–1.38); anterior margin with distinct emargination as wide as neck; anterolateral angles rounded, fairly produced; lateral margins weakly sinuate; posterior half slightly contracted than anterior half; posterolateral angles obtuse; pronotal lobe truncate without median notch; pronotal pad (Fig. 14C) slightly raised; pronotal pits moderately deep with moderate grooves. Scutellar shield elliptical (not heptagonal as in  H. quadricollis ), transverse, about twice as wide as long. Elytra (Fig. 14A) short (EL/GEW: 2.00–2.04) and flat; vestiture almost absent, very scarce; apical patch not visible. Ventral surface. Prosternal process short, not extending posterior of procoxae; hypomeral edges well separated but less so than in  H. quadricollis ; mesosternal process narrow and linear. Color uniformly rufotestaceous to testaceous, shiny. </p>
            <p>Male Genitalia (Figs 14D–F). (Tegmen length = 0.33 mm (n = 2)) Lobe of basale short, slender, and blunt; shoulders obtuse, rounded, slanted; apicale and basale with distinct suture; parameres with slight sinuation, apices straight, very pointed, thin, narrower than the bases; penis sharply expanded near basal half, narrowed at the base and apex, shorter than tegmen (Fig. 14D).</p>
            <p>Variation. Some specimens have slightly straighter anterolateral pronotal margins while in some specimens it is more sinuate. The color varies from testaceous to rufotestaceous.</p>
            <p> Remarks.  Hemipeplus pseudoquadricollis resembles  H. quadricollis with which it is sympatric; however, the male genital morphology is different, as was discussed above in the remarks for  H. quadricollis . </p>
            <p>Geographical Distribution (Fig. 62). Brazil (Rondônia), Peru (Madre de Dios).</p>
            <p> Natural History. According to specimen label data, specimens of  H. pseudoquadricollis were collected from light traps (including blacklight trap) and by rainforest canopy fogging. </p>

            <p> Diagnosis.  Hemipeplus chaos can be distinguished among US species by its large wide eyes, short temples, and full elytra.  Hemipeplus chaos has the following diagnostic features: temples small to moderate, rounded; scape submoniliform; eyes large (longer than scape + pedicel), wide and convex; pronotum subcordiform, widened anteriorly with a distinct anterior emargination; anterolateral angles produced, broadly rounded; pronotal pad distinct to moderate; posterolateral angles obtuse, rounded; pronotal lobe indistinct without median notch; scutellar shield elliptical, transverse, not twice as wide as long; body elongate; elytra more or less flat; color uniformly testaceous to rufotestaceous; distribution: USA (Florida, Georgia, Texas), Mexico. </p>
            <p>Male Genitalia (Figs 15D–F). (Tegmen length = 0.66 mm (n = 1)) Lobe of basale elongate, blunt at the apex; shoulders obtusely angled, barely slanted; apicale and basale with distinct suture; parameres surrounded by lateral sheaths, sinuate, depressed near the bases, arcuate near the apices; apices of parameres sharp; penis subequal to or slightly shorter than tegmen.</p>
            <p>Variation. Some specimens have a slightly deeper anterior pronotal emargination than others; the pronotal pad is more distinct in some specimens than others.</p>
            <p> Remarks. As mentioned by Pollock (1999), a specimen (also examined in this study) of  Hemipeplus chaos from Miami, Florida (MCZC) bears a label ‘  Holopeplus chamaeropis Sz’, presumably a manuscript name. This name has been seen neither in the literature nor on any other examined  Hemipeplus specimen. </p>
            <p> Geographical Distribution (Fig. 61).  Southeast USA (Florida, Georgia) extending west to Texas, and farther south to Mexico . </p>
            <p> Natural History. According to Thomas (1985), Pollock (1999), and specimen label data,  H. chaos has been found associated with  Sabal palmetto (  Arecaceae ). According to Thomas (1985), adults are found in the unopened fronds of  Sabal Palm. Pollock (1999) mentioned that the Mexican specimens were obtained from burned Cabbage Palms. Adults have also been collected by sweeping  Salicornia at night, beating dead palm fronds, beating in an open-revegetated area, suction traps, and light traps, according to specimen label data. </p>

            <p>Head (Fig. 21B) wide (GHW/HL: 1.05–1.09); eyes moderately large (as long as scape + pedicel), shallow and moderately convex; temples, short and round; occiput with raised areas; antennae shorter than head and pronotum length combined; antennal scape, submoniliform, apically dilated, and produced externally on one side; pedicel small moniliform; antennomere III elongate and apically dilated; IV much shorter, moniliform, apically dilated; V short, apically dilated; VI–X subtriangular or bowl shaped, each wider than the next; XI subpyriform with apex narrowed after median notch; lateral mandibular tooth absent or extremely small. Pronotum (Fig. 21B) wide (GPW/PL: 1.13–1.21); anterior margin with deep median emargination; anterolateral angles rounded and produced; lateral margins sinuate; posterior half contracted; posterolateral angles square and rounded; pronotal lobe slight/ truncate without median notch; pronotal pad (Fig. 21C) not significant or well raised; pronotal pits deep and dark with significant oval grooves. Scutellar shield convex or subpentagonal, transverse, about twice as wide as long. Elytra (Fig. 21A) elongate (EL/GEW: 3.20–3.23) and flat; vestiture short and scarce; apical patch long and darker than elytra; Ventral surface. Prosternal process short, not extending to the posterior of procoxae; hypomeral edges widely separated; mesosternal process narrow and linear. Color rufous, shiny, elytra darker; about uniformly brown ventrally, inner edge of hypomeron piceous, elytral epipleura piceous, tarsi slightly paler.</p>
            <p>Male Genitalia (Figs 21D–F). (Tegmen length = 0.65 mm (n = 1)) Lobe of basale very short and apically rounded; shoulders almost straight, rectangular, without a slant; apicale and basale with distinct suture; apicale long, weakly sinuate, each half forked into two parts, a shorter paramere and a much longer arcuate paramere; apices of parameres sharp and pointed; penis shorter than tegmen.</p>
            <p>Variation. Some specimens have anterolateral pronotal angles more produced compared to others.</p>
            <p> Remarks. Despite significant morphological differences, the sheen and body shape of  Hemipeplus pollocki sp. nov. are similar to those of  H. anishae sp. nov. from Belize, suggesting a possible affinity between the two species. </p>
            <p>Geographical Distribution (Fig. 61). Mexico (Sonora).</p>
            <p> Natural History. According to specimen label data,  H. pollocki sp. nov. was collected associated with  Sabal uresana Trel. (  Arecaceae ). </p>

            <p> Diagnosis.  Hemipeplus bolivianus can be distinguished from the similar-appearing  H. argentinus (Fig. 22) by its moniliform scape and shallower anterior emargination on the pronotum.  Hemipeplus bolivianus has the following diagnostic features: temples moderately long, rounded; scape very short and moniliform; eyes large (longer than scape + pedicel), moderately wide and moderately convex; pronotum subcordiform, with shallow anterior emargination; punctures wider than in  H. argentinus ; anterior half more widened than posterior; anterolateral angles produced, broadly rounded; pronotal pad distinct; posterolateral angles obtuse, rounded; pronotal lobe indistinct with faint to no median notch; scutellar shield subhexagonal, transverse, twice as wide as long; body elongate; color uniformly rufotestaceous; elytra slightly convex; distribution: Bolivia, Brazil (Pollock 1999), Colombia?, Ecuador, Peru (Pollock 1999). </p>
            <p>Male Genitalia (Figs 23. 1D–F, 23. 2D–F). (Tegmen length = 0.30–0.35 mm (n = 4)) Lobe of basale moderately long, thin, pin-like with rounded apex; shoulders almost straight, acutely angled; apicale and basale with distinct suture; parameres straight, diverging outward; apices of parameres straight, sharp and pointed; penis much longer than tegmen, slightly narrowed medially.</p>
            <p>Variation. Some specimens have slightly deeper emargination on anterior pronotal margin; there is a slight median notch on truncate pronotal lobe of some specimens; parameres are longer in some specimens than others.</p>
            <p> Remarks.  Hemipeplus bolivianus is a widespread species in South America. </p>
            <p>Geographical Distribution (Fig. 62). Bolivia, Brazil (Pollock 1999), Colombia?, Ecuador (new country record), Peru (Pollock 1999).</p>
            <p> Natural History.  Hemipeplus bolivianus is most likely associated with palms (Pollock 1999). According to specimen label data, adults have also been collected from UV light trap and malaise trap(s). </p>

            <p> Afrotropical  Hemipeplinae</p>
            <p> Nine species of  Hemipeplinae have been described from the Afrotropical region, with most being described by Grouvelle in the early 20th century. Most species of  Hemipeplinae in this region have distinct and elaborate pronotal lobes along with distinct temples. They also have larger body sizes than most other  Hemipeplinae . One new monobasic genus and its species were discovered in this study, increasing the known number of Afrotropical  Hemipeplinae species to ten. </p>

            <p> Diagnosis.  Hemipeplus africanus can be distinguished from the similar-appearing  H. alluaudi (Figs 33.1, 33.2) by its subparallel posterolateral pronotal margins and darker color.  Hemipeplus africanus has the following diagnostic features: temples short and angulate to somewhat rounded, slightly larger in some specimens; scape moniliform; eyes large (longer than scape + pedicel), wide to moderately wide; pronotum wide to relatively narrow, subcordiform; anterior half wider than posterior half with deep to shallow anterior emargination in center; anterolateral angles moderately produced, broadly rounded; pronotal pad present but narrow; hind angles sharply acute to less so; posterolateral margins of pronotum straight and subparallel; pronotal lobe indistinct and rounded without median notch; scutellar shield subhexagonal to elliptical, transverse, less than twice as wide as long; body long; elytra slightly convex; color rufotestaceous to rufopiceous; distribution: widespread in Africa between 10°N and 5°S (Pollock 1997). </p>
            <p> Male Genitalia (Figs 32.1D–F, 32.2D–F). (Tegmen length = 0.35–0.43 mm (n = 2)) Lobe of basale short with rounded end, a little more elongate than in  H. alluaudi ; shoulders slanted and obtusely angled (an extra layer from basale pointed upward sometimes covers it making it look acutely pointed (Fig. 32.2E )); apicale and basale with somewhat clear suture; basale subequal to apicale (not including basal lobe); parameres long and almost straight, apices curved inward; apices thin and sharp; penis wide, much longer than tegmen, apically narrowed. </p>
            <p>Variation. Some specimens have pointed and acute hind angles of pronotum while it is less so in some; emargination on anterior pronotum is fairly deep to shallow; body color ranges from uniformly lighter brown to dark brown with piceous shade; the size of eye varies as some specimens with shallower eyes were seen; females probably have smaller/shallower eyes.</p>
            <p> Remarks.  Hemipeplus africanus closely resembles  H. klematanicus ,  H. pseudoklematanicus sp. nov. and  H. nigerrimus sp. nov. from the Austro-Oriental region and might be difficult to distinguish without examination of male genitalia or locality data. </p>
            <p>Geographical Distribution (Fig. 63). Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Gabon, Ghana, Guinea, Nigeria, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda (Pollock 1997).</p>
            <p> Natural History. According to specimen label data, adults of  H. africanus have been collected from light traps including mercury vapor light(s) in secondary forest(s), and suction trap(s). Specimens have also been collected by beating and aerial collecting according to Pollock (1997). </p>

            <p> Diagnosis.  Hemipeplus alluaudi can be distinguished from the similar-appearing  H. africanus (Figs 32.1, 32.2) by its posterolateral pronotal margins not subparallel and uniformly paler color.  Hemipeplus alluaudi has the following diagnostic features: temples short and angulate to somewhat rounded, slightly larger in some specimens; scape submoniliform, somewhat more elongate than in  H. africanus (Figs 32.1, 32.2); eyes large (longer than scape + pedicel), wide and convex; pronotum wide to relatively narrow, subcordiform; anterior half wider than posterior half with deep to shallow anterior emargination in center; anterolateral angles moderately to strongly produced, broadly rounded; pronotal pad present, more distinct than in  H. africanus ; hind angles obtuse, rounded to somewhat angled; posterolateral margins of pronotum not straight or subparallel; pronotal lobe indistinct and without median notch; scutellar shield transverse, elliptical to subhexagonal, less than twice as wide as long; body long; elytra slightly convex but distinctly flatter than in  H. africanus ; color uniformly brown; distribution: Kenya, Malawi. </p>
            <p> Male Genitalia (Figs 33. 1D–F, 33. 2D–F). (Tegmen length = 0.33–0.42 mm (n = 3)) Lobe of basale very short, and wide, shorter than in  H. africanus ; shoulders slanted and obtusely angled; apicale and basale with somewhat clear suture; basale subequal to apicale (not including basal lobe); parameres long and almost straight, apices curved inward; apices thin and sharp; penis wide and longer than tegmen, apically pointed. </p>
            <p> Variation. The specimen of  H. alluaudi from Malawi is larger than those from Kenya. </p>
            <p> Remarks.  Hemipeplus alluaudi closely resembles the lighter form of  H. africanus , and even male genitalia are virtually inseparable except for the shorter, wider lobe of the basale that appears consistent among the specimens. Externally, it can be distinguished from  H. africanus using the keys provided in the diagnosis section. </p>
            <p>Geographical Distribution (Fig. 63). Kenya (south), Malawi (new country record).</p>
            <p> Natural History. A label on one specimen from Malawi in FSCA reads that the host is  Brachystegia Benth. (Leguminosae) . If so, this is the first record of a dicot plant being “host” to  Hemipeplinae , although they have been collected by sweeping dicots such as  Salicornia before (Pollock 1999). Apart from that, nothing is known regarding the natural history of  H. alluaudi . </p>

            <p> Austro-Oriental  Hemipeplinae</p>
            <p> Very little published research is available for the  Hemipeplinae of the Austro-Oriental region.  Hemipeplus klematanicus (Gestro 1873) was the first species of  Hemipeplinae described from this region followed by  H. australicus Arrow 1930 ,  H. nuciferae Arrow 1930 , and  H. miyamotoi Kamiya 1961 . Since 1961, no new species has been added to the  Hemipeplinae faunal list of the entire Austro-Oriental region. In this study, 23 new Austro-Oriental species of  Hemipeplinae are described, bringing the total number of  Hemipeplinae in this region to 27, making it the most speciose realm of described  Hemipeplinae . </p>

            <p>Derivation of Specific Epithet. The specific name (noun in the genitive case) is given in allusion to Geoff Monteith who collected the holotype in 1964.</p>
            <p> Diagnosis.  Hemipeplus monteithi sp. nov. resembles  H. australicus (Figs 39.1, 39.2) with which it might be sympatric, but it is wider and shorter in appearance.  Hemipeplus monteithi sp. nov. has the following diagnostic features: temples absent; scape moniliform; eyes large (longer than scape + pedicel), moderately wide and moderately convex; pronotum subcordiform, wide and flat; anterior emargination broad and shallow; anterior half much wider than posterior half; pronotal pad distinct, wide with profuse setae; pronotal angles rounded; pronotal lobe indistinct without median notch; body short and elongate; elytra more or less flat; color uniformly pale and shiny; distribution:  Australia (Queensland) . </p>
            <p>Description. Measurements (in mm)—GHW: 0.50–0.55; HL: 0.45–0.52; AL: 0.80–0.88; GPW: 0.60–0.67; PL: 0.45–0.50; GEW: 0.65–0.75, EL: 2.23–2.43; TL: 3.13–3.45.</p>
            <p>Head (Fig. 35B) wide, (GHW/HL: 1.06–1.11); eyes large (longer than scape + pedicel), moderately wide and moderately convex; temples absent; occiput with raised areas; antennae shorter than head and pronotum length combined; antennal scape short and moniliform; pedicel small moniliform; antennomere III more elongate and apically dilated; IV short and moniliform; V slightly larger, apically dilated; VI–X subtriangular or bowl shaped, each wider than the next; XI subpyriform with apex narrowed after notch; lateral mandibular tooth very small. Pronotum (Fig. 35B) wide (GPW/PL: 1.33–1.34); anterior margin with broad shallow emargination; anterolateral angles rounded, produced; lateral margins weakly sinuate; posterior half much more contracted than anterior half; posterolateral angles obtusely rounded; pronotal lobe truncate without median notch; pronotal pad (Fig. 35C) broad and distinct; pronotal pits moderately developed with moderate grooves. Scutellar shield subhexagonal, transverse, nearly twice as wide as long. Elytra (Fig. 35A) short (EL/GEW: 3.24–3.43) and flat; vestiture short and dense; apical patch long and only slightly darker than elytra. Ventral surface. Prosternal process short, not extending posterior of procoxae; hypomeral edges widely separated; mesosternal process narrow and linear. Color uniformly light brown/pale, shiny.</p>
            <p> Male Genitalia (Figs 35D–F). (Tegmen length = 0.26 mm (n = 1)) Lobe of basale moderately long, slender with blunt apex; shoulders with small degree of slant, rectangular; apicale and basale with distinct suture; parameres arcuate with apices thick and blunt, as if cut; penis much longer than tegmen. Note: the parameres of  H. monteithi sp. nov. are similar to those of  H. australicus but less curved. It should be noted that all Australian species have very similar male genitalia only varying in the degree of curvedness of the parameres, suggesting possible common ancestry. </p>

            <p> Type Material.   Holotype, female, labeled: ‘ NEW GUINEA (Neth.)  Hollandia 100 m., Aug. 24. 1955 / Light Trap J. L. Gressitt / [blue label] ♀ / [red label]   HOLOTYPE ♀  Hemipeplus gressitti KC &amp; Pollock’, in BPBM. One paratype, female, labeled: ‘ New Guinea: Voqelkop Manokwari NE of town 10-25m 10.vi.1979 / J. L. Gressitt Collector BISHOP MUSEUM / Palms Sago / V. large eyes Det. D.A. Pollock’, in BPBM  . </p>
            <p>Derivation of Specific Epithet. The specific name (noun in the genitive case) is given in allusion to Judson Linsley Gressitt who collected the holotype in 1955.</p>
            <p> Diagnosis.  Hemipeplus gressitti sp. nov. can be distinguished by its very large eyes and lack of temples.  Hemipeplus gressitti sp. nov. has the following diagnostic features: temples absent; scape elongate, apically dilated; largest eyes among all  Hemipeplinae species (longer than antennomeres I+II+III), wide and convex; pronotum subcordiform, relatively long; anterior emargination almost absent; anterior half much wider than posterior half; pronotal pad distinct; pronotal angles rounded; pronotal lobe truncate without visible median notch; body long; elytra slightly convex; color brown, dull, head and pronotum slightly darker; rufopiceous head and pronotum in paratype; distribution: Indonesia (Hollandia, Manokwari). </p>
            <p>Description. Measurements (in mm)—GHW: 0.55–0.68; HL: 0.50–0.63; AL: 0.88–0.92; GPW: 0.55–0.70; PL: 0.50–0.60; GEW: 0.60–0.95, EL: 2.70–3.16; TL: 3.70–4.39.</p>
            <p> Head (Fig. 36B)   wide, (GHW /HL: 1.08–1.10); largest eyes among all  Hemipeplinae species (longer than antennomeres I+ II + III), wide and convex; temples absent; occiput with raised areas; antennae shorter than head and pronotum length combined; antennal scape elongate, apically dilated; pedicel small moniliform; antennomere III more elongate and apically dilated; IV short and moniliform, apically dilated; V broader, apically dilated; VI –X subtriangular or bowl shaped, each wider than the next; XI subpyriform with apex narrowed after median notch; lateral mandibular tooth absent. Pronotum (Fig. 36B) wide (GPW / PL: 1.10–1.17); anterior margin without prominent emargination; anterolateral angles rounded, produced; posterior half much more contracted than anterior half; posterolateral margins subparallel; posterolateral angles obtusely rounded; pronotal lobe truncate without visible median notch; pronotal pad (Fig. 36C) distinct; pronotal pits shallow with faint grooves. Scutellar shield elliptical, transverse, not twice as wide as long. Elytra (Fig. 36A) long (EL / GEW: 3.33–4.50) and slightly convex; vestiture short and moderate; apical patch long but faint. Ventral surface. Prosternal process short and pointed, not extending posterior of procoxae; hypomeral edges almost fused, very narrowly separated; mesosternal process narrow and linear. Color dull, brown, head and pronotum slightly darker (rufopiceous in paratype) than elytra; ventrally same as above, palpi and tarsi lighter in holotype; uniformly rufous in paratype with edges of pro- and mesosternum darker  . </p>
            <p> Male Genitalia. Even though a male specimen was not available, we hypothesize that the male genitalia are very similar to those of species such as  H. australicus ,  H. enarotaliensis sp. nov. , and  H. neoguineensis sp. nov. based on the external morphological characters. </p>

            <p> Derivation of Specific Epithet.   The specific name (adjective in the nominative case, in gender agreement with substantive) is given in allusion to this species’ type locality, i.e.,  New Guinea  . </p>
            <p> Diagnosis.  Hemipeplus neoguineensis sp. nov. can be distinguished from the similar-appearing  H. australicus (Figs 39.1, 39.2) by its larger eyes, browner color, and less setose pronotal pad.  Hemipeplus neoguineensis sp. nov. has the following diagnostic features: temples absent; scape submoniliform, apically dilated, externally produced on one side; eyes large (as long as scape + pedicel + antennomere III), moderately wide and moderately convex; pronotum subcordiform; anterior emargination almost absent; anterior half much wider than posterior half; pronotal pad distinct; pronotal angles rounded; pronotal lobe truncate without median notch; body long; elytra slightly convex; color uniformly rufotestaceous, not shiny; distribution: New Guinea. </p>
            <p>Description. Measurements (in mm)—GHW: 0.55; HL: 0.43–0.45; AL: 0.80–0.88; GPW: 0.58; PL: 0.48; GEW: 0.65–0.68; EL: 2.23–2.38; TL: 3.14–3.31.</p>

Pronotum (Fig. 37B) wide (GPW/PL: 1.21); anterior margin without prominent emargination; anterolateral angles rounded, produced; lateral margins moderately sinuate; posterior half much more contracted than anterior half; posterolateral angles obtusely rounded; pronotal lobe truncate without visible median notch; pronotal pad (Fig. 37C) distinct; pronotal pits shallow without well-developed grooves. Scutellar shield subhexagonal, transverse, about twice as wide as long. Elytra (Fig. 37A) long (EL/GEW: 3.43–3.50) and slightly convex; vestiture short and dense; apical patch long and faint. Ventral surface. Prosternal process short, not extending to posterior of procoxae; hypomeral edges very narrowly separated to fused; mesosternal process narrow and linear. Color uniformly rufotestaceous, dull.</p>
            <p>Male Genitalia (Figs 37D–F). (Tegmen length = 0.28 mm (n = 1)) Lobe of basale short, slender with rounded apex; shoulders obtusely angled to slightly smooth with moderate slant; apicale and basale with distinct suture; parameres arcuate with apices thick and blunt, as if cut; penis slightly longer than tegmen.</p>
            <p> Remarks. Although the male genitalia of  H. neoguineensis sp. nov. is similar to that of  H. australicus , there are significant morphological differences, such as those provided in the diagnosis section, which are consistent throughout the New Guinean population. </p>
            <p>Geographical Distribution (Fig. 64). New Guinea.</p>
            <p> Natural History. According to specimen label data,  H. neoguineensis sp. nov. is associated with  Calamus L. (  Acoraceae ),  Cycas revoluta Thunb. or Sago Palm (  Cycadaceae ), K.  beccarii [  Coelogyne beccarii? Rchb.f. (  Orchidaceae )], and  Heterospathe Scheff. (  Arecaceae ). </p>

            <p> Diagnosis.  Hemipeplus rugosus sp. nov. can be distinguished from the similar-appearing  H. miyamotoi (Figs 43.1, 43.2) by its relatively larger eyes, pronotum with coarser texture, and less produced anterolateral pronotal angles.  Hemipeplus rugosus sp. nov. has the following diagnostic features: temples prominent; scape short and moniliform; eyes moderately large (as long as scape + pedicel), moderately wide and moderately convex; pronotum subcordiform; anterior emargination moderate but distinct; anterior half wider than posterior half; pronotal pad not very distinct; anterior pronotal angles broadly rounded, posterior rounded to slightly obtuse angled; pronotal lobe truncate without median notch; body long; elytra slightly convex; color dull, rufopiceous with darker head and pronotum to uniformly rufopiceous; distribution: Indonesia (Sumatra), Malaysia (Pahang), Philippines (Surigao). </p>
            <p>Description. Measurements (in mm)—GHW: 0.53–0.60; HL: 0.50–0.53; AL: 0.78–0.95; GPW: 0.53–0.63; PL: 0.45–0.53, GEW: 0.60–0.88; EL: 2.30–3.03; TL: 3.25–4.09.</p>
            <p>Head (Fig. 42B) wide (GHW/HL: 1.06–1.13); eyes moderately large (as long as scape + pedicel), moderately wide and moderately convex; temples prominent, about 1/3 length of eye, rounded posteriorly; occiput with raised areas; antennae shorter than head and pronotum length combined; antennal scape moniliform; pedicel small moniliform; antennomere III more elongate and apically dilated; IV shorter and submoniliform, apically dilated; V–VI larger, apically dilated; VII–X subtriangular or bowl shaped, each wider than the next; XI subpyriform with apex narrowed after the notch; lateral mandibular tooth absent to very small. Pronotum (Fig. 42B) wide (GPW/PL: 1.18–1.19) with wide punctures; anterior margin with moderate emargination; anterolateral angles broadly rounded; lateral margins sinuate with subparallel basal half; posterior half contracted; posterolateral angles obtuse, rounded to angled; pronotal lobe truncate without median notch; pronotal pad (Fig. 42C) indistinct; pronotal pits shallow without prominent grooves. Scutellar shield angulate, subhexagonal, not twice as wide as long. Elytra (Fig. 42A) long (EL/GEW: 3.44–3.83), slightly convex; vestiture long and dense; apical patch long and piceous, not visible when elytra are same color. Ventral surface. Prosternal process short, not extending to the posterior of procoxae; hypomeral edges well separated; mesosternal process narrow and linear. Color dull, rufopiceous with darker head and pronotum to uniformly rufopiceous; ventrally ununiformly rufopiceous with tarsi, labial palps, glossal sclerite, and galea lighter.</p>
            <p> Male Genitalia (Figs 42D–F). (Tegmen length = 0.13 mm (n = 1)) Smallest among all  Hemipeplinae species; lobe of basale long, needle-like, sharp and pointed; shoulders rounded; apicale and basale with distinct suture; parameres arcuate with apices sharp and pointed; wide penis subequal to tegmen. Note: the genitalia of  H. rugosus sp. nov. are very similar to those of  H. miyamotoi , but the parameres are different when viewed laterally, with their apices projecting upward resembling a snake’s head (Fig. 42F). </p>
            <p> Remarks.  Hemipeplus rugosus sp. nov. is inferred to be the adelphotaxon of  H. miyamotoi , as evidenced by the morphology of the male genitalia. </p>
            <p>Geographical Distribution (Fig. 65). Indonesia (Sumatra), Malaysia (Pahang), Philippines (Surigao).</p>

            <p> Diagnosis.  Hemipeplus miyamotoi can be distinguished by its small eyes, round temples, and strongly produced anterolateral pronotal angles.  Hemipeplus miyamotoi has the following diagnostic features: temples prominent and rounded; scape short and moniliform; eyes smallest among all Austro-Oriental  Hemipeplinae (shorter than scape + pedicel), shallow and slightly convex; pronotum subcordiform; anterior emargination moderate; anterior half much wider than posterior half, distinctly produced; pronotal pad not distinct; pronotal angles rounded; pronotal lobe indistinct without median notch; body long; elytra slightly convex; color dull, variable: uniformly testaceous to rufotestaceous, head and pronotum rufopiceous to strongly piceous with lighter elytra; distribution: Japan (Kyushu, Ryukyu Islands), Taiwan. </p>
            <p>Re-description. Measurements (in mm)—GHW: 0.57–0.68; HL: 0.52–0.58; AL: 0.93–1.10; GPW: 0.62–0.73; PL: 0.48–0.60, GEW: 0.80–1.06; EL: 2.40–3.40; TL: 3.40–4.58.</p>
            <p> Head (Figs 43.1B, 43.2B) wide (GHW/HL: 1.10–1.17); eyes smallest among all Austro-Oriental  Hemipeplinae (shorter than scape + pedicel), shallow and not very convex; temples prominent, about 1/3 length of eye, large and rounded; occiput with raised areas; antennae about subequal to or slightly shorter than head and pronotum length combined; antennal scape short, moniliform; pedicel small moniliform; antennomere III more elongate and apically dilated; IV shorter and moniliform, apically dilated; V–VI larger, apically dilated; VII–X subtriangular or bowl shaped, each wider than the next; XI subpyriform with apex narrowed after the notch; lateral mandibular tooth absent to very short. Pronotum (Figs 43.1B, 43.2B) wide (GPW/PL: 1.22–1.29); anterior margin with moderate emargination; anterolateral angles narrowly rounded, strongly produced; lateral margins deeply sinuate anteriorly; posterior half contracted with margins subparallel; posterolateral angles obtuse, rounded; pronotal lobe truncate without median notch; pronotal pad (Figs 43.1C, 43.2C) indistinct; pronotal pits shallow to deep with or without visible grooves. Scutellar shield elliptical to subquadrate, transverse, about twice as wide as long. Elytra (Figs 43.1A, 43.2A) long (EL/GEW: 3.00–3.21), slightly convex; vestiture long and dense; apical patch long, faint to dark. Ventral surface. Prosternal process short, not extending posterior of procoxae; hypomeral edges well separated; mesosternal process narrow and linear. Color dull, variable: uniformly testaceous to rufotestaceous; head and pronotum rufopiceous to shiny piceous in some specimens with rufous mouthparts; ventrally equally variable; some specimens with darker head and pronotum have mesosternal process darker as well; palpi, glossal sclerite, galea paler in most specimens; some specimens are uniformly testaceous to unevenly rufopiceous ventrally. </p>
            <p> Male Genitalia (Figs 43. 1D–F). (Tegmen length = 0.20 mm (n = 1)) One of the smallest male genitalia among all  Hemipeplinae species; lobe of basale short, slender, and pointed (slightly broader than in  H. rugosus sp. nov. ); shoulders slightly obtuse angled; apicale and basale with distinct suture; parameres arcuate with tips thin, sharp and pointed; penis wide, subequal to tegmen. </p>
            <p> Variation. Specimens of  H. miyamotoi exhibit large variation in color. The head and pronotum are piceous while the elytra are light brown in some specimens from Japan (Fig. 43.2B), while some are dark brown with head and pronotum only slightly darker (Fig. 43.1B); some are uniformly light brown/testaceous. </p>
            <p> Remarks.  Hemipeplus miyamotoi has the smallest eyes among all  Hemipeplinae species in the Austro-Oriental region relative to the length of its antennomeres. As mentioned above, similarity of male genitalia between  H. rugosus sp. nov. and  H. miyamotoi suggests a possible close phylogenetic relationship. </p>
            <p>Geographical Distribution (Fig. 65). Japan (Kyushu, Ryukyu Islands), Taiwan (new country record).</p>
            <p> Natural History. According to specimen label data,  H. miyamotoi has been found in association with bamboo (  Poaceae ) and adults have been collected at light. </p>

            <p>(Figs 48, 65)</p>
            <p> Type Material. Holotype, male, labeled: ‘[oval label with green color on upper side, blank] / [underlined in yellow] Sarawak, [/underlined in yellow] Borneo, Wallace. / Pascoe Coll. 93–60. /  Hemipeplus [something illegible] /  Hemipeplus klematanicus, Gestro Determined from description. G.J.A. / [green label] ♂ / [red label] HOLOTYPE ♂  Hemipeplus pseudoklematanicus KC &amp; Pollock’, in BMNH. </p>
            <p> Derivation of Specific Epithet. The specific name (adjective in the nominative case, in gender agreement with substantive) is given in allusion to the species’ close morphological resemblance to  Hemipeplus klematanicus . </p>
            <p> Diagnosis.  Hemipeplus pseudoklematanicus sp. nov. can be distinguished from the similar-appearing  H. klematanicus (Fig. 46) by its rounded, instead of acutely pointed, temples, wider pronotum, and paler color.  Hemipeplus pseudoklematanicus sp. nov. has the following diagnostic features: temples short and rounded; scape moniliform, apically dilated; eyes large (longer than scape + pedicel), moderately wide and moderately convex; pronotum subcordiform; anterior emargination distinct; anterior half slightly wider than posterior half; pronotal pad distinct; anterior pronotal angles rounded, posterior angles obtuse; pronotal lobe slightly present without median notch; body long; elytra slightly convex; color dull, rufotestaceous, not nearly as dark as  H. klematanicus , pronotum lighter; distribution: Malaysia (Sarawak). </p>
            <p>Description. Measurements (in mm)—GHW: 0.65; HL: 0.65; AL: 1.23; GPW: 0.75; PL: 0.60; GEW: 0.93; EL: 2.84; TL: 4.09.</p>
            <p> Head (Fig. 48B) about as long as wide (GHW/HL: 1); eyes large (longer than scape + pedicel), moderately wide and moderately convex; temples short and rounded; occiput with strongly raised areas; antennae subequal to head and pronotum length combined; antennal scape moniliform, apically dilated; pedicel small moniliform; antennomere III more elongate and apically dilated; IV shorter and moniliform, apically dilated; V moniliform, larger, apically dilated; VI–X subtriangular or bowl shaped, each wider than the next; XI subpyriform with apex narrowed after the notch; lateral mandibular tooth unobservable in the specimen. Pronotum (Fig. 48B) wide (GPW/PL: 1.25); anterior margin with distinct emargination; anterolateral angles rounded, produced; lateral margins moderately sinuate; posterior half contracted; posterolateral angles obtuse; pronotal lobe slight without median notch; pronotal pad distinct (Fig. 48C); pronotal pits deep with moderate grooves. Scutellar shield transverse, subpentagonal, about twice as wide as long. Ventral surface. Prosternal process short, not extending posterior of procoxae; hypomeral edges not very close together unlike in  H. klematanicus , and well separated; mesosternal process narrow and linear. Elytra (Fig. 48A) long (EL/GEW: 3.05), slightly convex; vestiture short and dense; apical patch broad and rufous. Color dull, rufotestaceous, pronotum lighter. </p>
            <p>Male Genitalia (Figs 48D–F). (Tegmen length = 0.29 mm) Lobe of basale short and apically pointed; shoulders obtusely angled with moderate slant; parameres arcuate apically with corners of apices darker which is because of an additional lobe that extends behind them (visible on lateral view) (Fig. 48F); apices thick and blunt; penis longer than tegmen, shrunk at the halfway point and apically.</p>
            <p> Remarks.  Hemipeplus pseudoklematanicus sp. nov. superficially resembles  H. klematanicus (Fig. 46); both species are sympatric in Malaysia (Sarawak). </p>

            <p> Type Material.   Holotype, female, labeled: ‘P.I., PALAWAN, Eran Pt., 8km SW  Tarumpitao Pt. 31.XII.59 - 4.I.60 / L.W. Quate Collector / [light green label] BPBM / [blue label] ♀ / [red label]   HOLOTYPE ♀  Hemipeplus philippinensis KC &amp; Pollock’, in BPBM. One paratype [without antennae]; female, same label as in holotype, in BPBM  . </p>
            <p> Derivation of Specific Epithet.  The specific name (adjective in the nominative case, in gender agreement with substantive) is given in allusion to the type locality of this species, i.e., Philippines . </p>
            <p> Diagnosis.  Hemipeplus philippinensis sp. nov. can be distinguished by its short, angulate temples and subquadriform pronotum.  Hemipeplus philippinensis resembles  H. nuciferae (Fig. 52) and  H. palawanensis sp. nov. (Fig. 53); it is sympatric with the latter. However, the pronotum in  H. philippinensis is subquadriform while it is subcordiform in  H. nuciferae which also has much larger and more convex eyes (Fig. 52B). It differs from  H. palawanensis sp. nov. (Fig. 53B) in having short and angulate temples instead of short and rounded temples, larger eyes, and pronotum less quadriform.  Hemipeplus philippinensis sp. nov. has the following diagnostic features: temples short and strongly angulate; scape moniliform, apically dilated; eyes large (longer than scape + pedicel), shallow and less convex; pronotum about subquadriform; anterior emargination shallow but distinct, moderately deep in the center; anterior half wider than posterior half; pronotal pad narrow but distinct; anterior pronotal angles rounded, moderately produced; posterior angles obtuse, rounded; pronotal lobe slight with faint median notch; body long; elytra slightly convex; color dull, about uniformly rufotestaceous; distribution: Philippines (Palawan). </p>
            <p>Description. Measurements (in mm)—GHW: 0.52–0.57; HL: 0.48–0.50; AL: 0.88; GPW: 0.55–0.65.; PL: 0.45–0.55; GEW: 0.64–0.77; EL: 2.48–2.93; TL: 3.41–3.98.</p>
            <p> Head (Fig. 49B) wide (GHW/HL: 1.08–1.14); eyes large (longer than scape + pedicel), shallow and less convex; temples short, acutely pointed; occiput with strongly raised areas; antennae shorter than head and pronotum length combined; antennal scape moniliform, apically dilated; pedicel small moniliform; antennomere III more elongate and apically dilated; IV small, moniliform; V–VI larger, subequal, moniliform, apically dilated; VII–X subtriangular or bowl shaped, each wider than the next; XI subpyriform with apex narrowed after the notch; lateral mandibular tooth absent. Pronotum (Fig. 49B) wide (GPW/PL: 1.18–1.22); anterior margin with shallow but distinct emargination in the center; anterolateral angles rounded, moderately produced; lateral margins sinuate; posterior half slightly more contracted than anterior half; posterolateral angles obtuse, rounded; pronotal lobe slight with median notch; pronotal pad (Fig. 49C) narrow, but well distinct; pronotal pits moderately deep with moderate grooves. Scutellar shield elliptical, transverse, not twice as wide as long. Elytra (Fig. 49A) long (EL/GEW: 3.80–3.88), slightly convex; vestiture moderately long and dense; apical patch long but faint. Ventral surface. Prosternal process short, not extending posterior of procoxae; hypomeral edges narrowly separated, narrower than in the sympatric  H. palawanensis sp. nov. ; mesosternal process narrow and linear. Color dull, about uniformly rufotestaceous. </p>
            <p>Variation. Variation exists in pronotal pad which is more prominent in the holotype than paratype.</p>

Oct. 28, 1958 / J. L. Gressitt Collector / Palm’, in BPBM  . </p>
            <p> Derivation of Specific Epithet. The specific name (adjective in the nominative case, in gender agreement with substantive) is given in allusion to the sheer exhaustion the first author had while describing tens of obscure species of  Hemipeplinae . </p>
            <p> Diagnosis.  Hemipeplus exhaustus sp. nov. can be distinguished by its large eyes, short, rounded temples, and rufotestaceous color. It resembles  H. enarotaliensis sp. nov. (Fig. 51) (similar genitalia) but is distinctly smaller in body size with eyes distinctly larger resembling those of  H. neoguineensis sp. nov. (Fig. 37B) (similar genitalia); however, unlike  H. neoguineensis sp. nov. ,  H. exhaustus sp. nov. has temples.  Hemipeplus exhaustus sp. nov. has the following diagnostic features: temples short and roundish; scape submoniliform, slightly elongate, apically dilated; eyes large (as long as scape + pedicel + antennomere III), wide and convex; pronotum subcordiform; anterior emargination shallow but distinct; anterior half much wider than posterior half; pronotal pad narrow, distinct; pronotal angles rounded; pronotal lobe truncate without median notch; body long; elytra slightly convex; color dull, uniformly rufotestaceous; distribution: Papua New Guinea (Madang). </p>

            <p>Description. Measurements (in mm)—GHW: 0.53–0.55; HL: 0.50–0.53; AL: 0.79–0.80; GPW: 0.55; PL: 0.45–0.48, GEW: 0.70; EL: 2.26; TL: 3.21–3.27.</p>
            <p>Head (Fig. 50B) wide (GHW/HL: 1.04–1.06); eyes large (as long as scape + pedicel + antennomere III), wide and convex; temples short and rounded; occiput with raised areas; antennae shorter than head and pronotum length combined; antennal scape submoniliform, slightly elongate, apically dilated; pedicel small moniliform; antennomere III more elongate and apically dilated; IV shorter and moniliform, apically dilated; V–X subtriangular or bowl shaped, each wider than the next; XI subpyriform with apex narrowed after the notch; lateral mandibular tooth absent. Pronotum (Fig. 50B) wide (GPW/PL: 1.15–1.22); anterior margin with shallow but distinct emargination; anterolateral angles rounded, produced; lateral margins sinuate; posterior half sharply contracted; posterolateral angles obtuse, rounded; pronotal lobe truncate without median notch; pronotal pad (Fig. 50C) distinct; pronotal pits moderately deep with moderate grooves. Scutellar shield subhexagonal, transverse, about twice as wide as long. Elytra (Fig. 50A) long (EL/GEW: 3.23), slightly convex; vestiture short and dense; apical patch long and slightly darker than the elytra. Ventral surface. Prosternal process short, not extending posterior of procoxae; hypomeral edges fused; mesosternal process narrow and linear. Color dull, uniformly rufotestaceous.</p>
            <p> Male Genitalia (Figs 50D–F). (Tegmen length = 0.25 mm (n = 1)) Lobe of basale short and slender with rounded apex; shoulders obtusely angled with moderate slant; apicale and basale with distinct suture; parameres arcuate with tips blunt; penis longer than tegmen. The genitalia are similar to those of  H. australicus . </p>
            <p> Remarks.  Hemipeplus exhaustus sp. nov. , similar to  H. enarotaliensis sp. nov. and  H. neoguineensis sp. nov. , is closely related to the Australian species in terms of male genitalia morphology, suggesting possible common ancestry. </p>
            <p>Geographical Distribution (Fig. 64). Papua New Guinea (Madang).</p>
            <p> Natural History. According to specimen label data,  H. exhaustus sp. nov. is associated with palms (  Arecaceae ). </p>

            <p>Derivation of Specific Epithet. The specific name (adjective in the nominative case, in gender agreement with substantive) is given in allusion to the species’ type locality, i.e., China.</p>
            <p> Diagnosis.  Hemipeplus sinensis sp. nov. can be distinguished from the similar-appearing  H. labuanensis sp. nov. (Fig. 55) by its relatively more produced anterolateral pronotal angles, narrower pronotal pad, and inner margins of parameres without prominent expansions.  Hemipeplus sinensis sp. nov. has the following diagnostic features: temples short and angulate; scape moniliform; eyes moderately large (just as long as scape + pedicel), shallow and less convex to moderately wide and moderately convex; pronotum subcordiform; anterior emargination broad and distinct; anterior half wider than posterior half; pronotal pad distinct; anterior pronotal angles rounded, projected rather upward than sideward; posterior angles obtuse, rounded; pronotal lobe almost absent without median notch; body long; elytral disc slightly convex; color dull, almost uniformly testaceous; distribution: China (Fukien, Guizhou, Hainan, Sichuan). </p>
            <p>Description. Measurements (in mm)—GHW: 0.55–0.67; HL: 0.53–0.62; AL: 0.93–1.14; GPW: 0.58–0.77; PL: 0.48–0.55; GEW: 0.83–0.97; EL: 2.68–2.93; TL: 3.69–4.10.</p>
            <p>Head (Figs 54.1B, 54.2B) wide (GHW/HL: 1.04–1.08); eyes moderately large (just as long as scape + pedicel), shallow and less convex to moderately wide and moderately convex; temples short and angulate; occiput with strongly raised areas; antennae shorter than head and pronotum length combined; antennal scape moniliform; pedicel small moniliform; antennomere III more elongate and apically dilated; IV smaller, moniliform to submoniliform; V slightly larger, moniliform to submoniliform, apically dilated; VI–X subtriangular or bowl shaped, each wider than the next; XI subpyriform with apex narrowed after the notch; lateral mandibular tooth very small. Pronotum (Figs 54.1B, 54.2B) wide (GPW/PL: 1.21–1.40), subcordiform; anterior margin with broad and distinct emargination; anterolateral angles rounded, produced upward instead of sideward; lateral margins moderately sinuate; posterior half contracted; posterolateral angles obtuse, rounded; pronotal lobe almost absent without median notch; pronotal pad (Figs 54.1C, 54.2C) distinct; pronotal pits shallow without proper grooves to deep with moderately developed grooves. Scutellar shield subhexagonal, flat posterior margin, transverse, about twice as wide as long. Elytra (Figs 54.1A, 54.2A) long (EL/GEW: 3.02–3.23) with slightly convex disc; vestiture moderately long and dense; apical patch very faint. Ventral surface. Prosternal process short, not extending posterior of procoxae; hypomeral edges well separated; mesosternal process narrow and linear. Color dull, uniformly brown; ventrally palpi paler.</p>
            <p>Male Genitalia (Figs 54. 1D–F). (Tegmen length = 0.25 mm (n = 1)) Lobe of basale very short and blunt; shoulders obtusely angled, slanted; apicale and basale with distinct suture; parameres very short, slightly arcuate at the apices; penis much longer than tegmen, basally wide.</p>
            <p>Variation. Females (one from Hainan (Fig. 54.2) and one from Fukien) have much wider and flatter pronota than males. It is possible that the specimens with wider pronotum may represent a different species; this might be elucidated using DNA analysis.</p>
            <p> Remarks. Among its Oriental congeners,  H. sinensis sp. nov. most closely resembles  H. labuanensis sp. nov. (Malaysia) in its external appearance owing to anterolateral margins of pronotum produced upward. </p>
            <p> Geographical Distribution (Fig. 65). China (Fukien, Guizhou, Hainan, Sichuan).  Hemipeplus sinensis sp. nov. appears to be widespread in China. </p>

            <p> Type Material.  Holotype, male, labeled: ‘ Philippinen Mindanao, Surigao leg. Böttcher [underside of label] 30.8. 1916 / Zool. Mus. Berlin / [green label] ♂ / [red label]  HOLOTYPE ♂  Hemipeplus nigerrimus KC &amp; Pollock’, in ZMHB. Two paratypes: 1 specimen, sex unknown, labeled: ‘ Philippinen Mindanao, Surigao leg. Böttcher [underside of label] 30.8.1916 /  klematanicus Gestro [handwritten in red ink]’, in ZMHB; 1 specimen, sex unknown, labeled: ‘ Philippinen Mindanao, Surigao leg. Böttcher [underside of label] 28.8.1916 ’, in ZMHB  . </p>
            <p> Derivation of Specific Epithet. The specific name (adjective in the nominative case, in gender agreement with substantive) is given in allusion to the holotype’s darker body color, distinguishing it from  H. klematanicus and prompting a detailed examination of these darker specimens. </p>
            <p> Diagnosis.  Hemipeplus nigerrimus sp. nov. can be distinguished from the similar-appearing  H. klematanicus (Fig. 46) by its relatively smaller eyes, less acutely pointed posterior pronotal angles, and darker color.  Hemipeplus nigerrimus sp. nov. has the following diagnostic features: temples short and angulate; scape moniliform, apically dilated; eyes moderately large (as long as scape + pedicel), moderately wide and moderately convex; pronotum subcordiform; anterior emargination distinct; anterior half slightly wider than posterior half; pronotal pad narrow, moderately distinct; anterior pronotal angles rounded, posterior angles slightly obtuse to square, more angled than rounded (never pointed acutely as in  H. klematanicus ); pronotal lobe indistinct with faint median notch; body long; elytra convex; color dull, uniformly rufopiceous to darker head and pronotum; distribution: Philippines (Mindanao). </p>

Male genitalia dorsal view with spiculum gastrale; E. Tegmen dorsal view (with scale bar); F. Tegmen lateral view with one paramere removed. </p>
            <p>Description. Measurements (in mm)—GHW: 0.50–0.56; HL: 0.45–0.52; AL: 0.85–1.01; GPW: 0.55–0.63; PL: 0.47–0.52; GEW: 0.60–0.66; EL: 2.63–2.96; TL: 3.55–4.00.</p>
            <p>Head (Fig. 56B) wide (GHW/HL: 1.08–1.11); eyes moderately large (as long as scape + pedicel), moderately wide and moderately convex; temples short and angulate; occiput with strongly raised areas; antennae about subequal to head and pronotum length combined; antennal scape moniliform, apically dilated; pedicel small moniliform; antennomere III more elongate and apically dilated; IV shorter, moniliform; V–X subtriangular or bowl shaped, each wider than the next; XI subpyriform with apex narrowed after the notch; lateral mandibular tooth absent. Pronotum (Fig. 56B) wide (GPW/PL: 1.17–1.21); anterior margin with distinct emargination; anterolateral angles rounded, produced; lateral margins sinuate; posterior half much more contracted than anterior half; posterolateral angles slightly obtuse to square, more angled than rounded but not pointed (Fig. 56B); pronotal lobe indistinct with faint median notch; pronotal pad (Fig. 56C) narrow, moderately distinct; pronotal pits moderately deep with moderately developed grooves. Scutellar shield elliptical, transverse, less than twice as wide as long. Elytra (Fig. 56A) long (EL/GEW: 4.38–4.48), convex; vestiture short and dense; apical patch broad and slightly darker than elytra. Ventral surface. Prosternal process short, not extending posterior of procoxae; hypomeral edges narrowly separated; mesosternal process narrow and linear. Color dull, uniformly rufopiceous to head and pronotum darker than other dorsal parts.</p>
            <p>Male Genitalia (Figs 56D–F). (Tegmen length = 0.35 mm (n = 1)) This is the only species in the Austro-Oriental region in which the apices of parameres are not arcuate or bulged, and are straight; lobe of basale long, slender with blunt apex; shoulders obtusely angled with moderate slant; apicale and basale with distinct suture; parameres with bases thicker than apices; apices straight without distinct curves; penis much longer than tegmen, medially widened.</p>
            <p>Variation. Specimens vary in the intensity of darkness of the body color.</p>
            <p> Remarks.  Hemipeplus nigerrimus sp. nov. is similar to  H. klematanicus (Fig. 46) (particularly the rufopiceous forms of  H. klematanicus ); however, the genitalia are distinct between the two species (Figs 46D–F, 56D–F). </p>

Hemipeplus bromineus sp. nov. also resembles  H. rugosus sp. nov. (Fig. 42) which has larger temples, less prominent pronotal pad, and much deeper emargination on the anterior pronotal margin.  Hemipeplus bromineus sp. nov. has the following diagnostic features: temples very short and roundish but prominent in contrast to its small eyes; scape submoniliform, slightly elongate; eyes small (smaller than scape + pedicel), shallow and less convex; pronotum subcordiform; anterior emargination shallow, not prominent; anterior half wider than posterior half; pronotal pad narrow but distinct; anterior pronotal angles rounded, slightly produced; posterior angles square, rounded; pronotal lobe indistinct without median notch; body long; color dull, rufopiceous/bromine-brown, some parts slightly lighter than others (more piceous on head, pronotum, suture and apices of elytra); distribution: Indonesia (Papua). </p>
            <p>Description. Measurements (in mm)—GHW: 0.62–0.63; HL: 0.62–0.63; AL: 1.10–1.12; GPW: 0.63–0.64; PL: 0.55–0.55; GEW: 0.85; EL: 3.28–3.40; TL: 4.45–4.58.</p>
            <p>Head (Fig. 59B) as long as wide (GHW/HL: 1.00) eyes small (smaller than scape + pedicel), shallow and less convex; temples very short and roundish; occiput with strongly raised areas; antennae shorter than head and pronotum length combined; antennal scape submoniliform, slightly elongate, apically dilated; pedicel small moniliform; antennomere III more elongate and apically dilated; IV smaller, submoniliform; V–VI larger, submoniliform, apically dilated; VII–X subtriangular or bowl shaped, each wider than the next; XI subpyriform with apex narrowed after the notch; lateral mandibular tooth not observable in the specimens. Pronotum (Fig. 59B) wide (GPW/PL: 1.15–1.16), subcordiform; anterior margin with slight emargination; anterolateral angles rounded, moderately produced; posterior half contracted, not produced; posterolateral margins subparallel; posterolateral angles obtuse to square, rounded; pronotal lobe almost absent without median notch; pronotal pad (Fig. 59C) narrow, but distinct; pronotal pits shallow without proper grooves. Scutellar shield subhexagonal, transverse, about twice as wide as long. Elytra (Fig. 59A) long (EL/GEW: 3.86–4.00) with disc slightly convex; vestiture moderately long and dense; apical patch long and slightly darker than the elytra. Ventral surface. Prosternal process short, not extending posterior of procoxae; hypomeral edges well separated; mesosternal process narrow and linear. Color dull, rufopiceous/bromine-brown (more piceous on head, pronotum, suture of elytra and apices); ventrally palpi and tarsi paler.</p>

            <p>Derivation of Specific Epithet. The specific name (noun in the genitive case) is given in allusion to Walter White’s alias ‘Heisenberg’, the iconic protagonist of the acclaimed TV series ‘Breaking Bad’.</p>
            <p> Diagnosis.  Hemipeplus heisenbergi sp. nov. can be distinguished from the similar-appearing  H. bromineus sp. nov. (Fig. 59) by its distinctly emarginate anterior pronotal margin and less prominent pronotal pad.  Hemipeplus heisenbergi sp. nov. also slightly resembles  H. miyamotoi (Fig. 43.1) from Japan and Taiwan, but its eyes are relatively larger and temples, smaller than the latter.  Hemipeplus heisenbergi sp. nov. has the following diagnostic features: temples very short and roundish but prominent in contrast to its small eyes; scape moniliform to submoniliform (slightly elongate in some specimens), apically dilated; eyes small (only slightly longer than the scape), shallow and less convex; pronotum subcordiform; anterior emargination deep, and prominent; anterior half wider than posterior half; pronotal pad not very prominent; anterior pronotal angles rounded, produced; posterior angles square, rounded; pronotal lobe indistinct, but with median notch; body long; color dull, rufous to rufopiceous, head and pronotum darker; distribution: New Guinea. </p>
            <p>Description. Measurements (in mm)—GHW: 0.66–0.73; HL: 0.60–0.70; AL: 1.12–1.30; GPW: 0.72–0.89; PL: 0.57–0.68; GEW: 0.87–1.03; EL: 3.00–3.66; TL: 4.17–5.04.</p>
            <p>Head (Figs 60.1B, 60.2B) wide (GHW/HL: 1.04–1.10) eyes small (only slightly longer than the scape), shallow and less convex; temples very short and roundish; occiput with strongly raised areas; antennae slightly shorter or about subequal to head and pronotum length combined; antennal scape moniliform to submoniliform, apically dilated, externally produced on one side; pedicel small moniliform; antennomere III more elongate and apically dilated; IV smaller, submoniliform; V larger, submoniliform, apically dilated; VI–X subtriangular or bowl shaped,</p>

            <p>each wider than the next; XI subpyriform with apex narrowed after the notch; lateral mandibular tooth absent. Pronotum (Figs 60.1B, 60.2B) wide (GPW/PL: 1.26–1.30), subcordiform; anterior margin with deep emargination; anterolateral angles rounded, produced; lateral margins sinuate; posterior half contracted; posterolateral angles slightly obtuse, rounded; pronotal lobe almost absent but with median notch; pronotal pad (Figs 60.1C, 60.2C) not very distinct; pronotal pits deep to moderately deep with moderately developed grooves. Scutellar shield transverse, subpentagonal, twice to less than twice as wide as long. Ventral surface. Prosternal process short, not extending posterior of procoxae; hypomeral edges narrowly to well separated; mesosternal process narrow and linear. Elytra (Figs 60.1A, 60.2A) long (EL/GEW: 3.45–3.55) with almost flat disc; vestiture moderately short and dense; apical patch long and wide, rufous to piceous, less visible when the elytra are piceous. Color dull, rufous (Fig. 60.1) to rufopiceous (Fig. 60.2), head and pronotum darker; ventrally variable, uniformly rufotestaceous to rufopiceous with edges of pro- and mesosternum piceous; some specimens ventrally rufous with inner edges of prosternum darker; palpi, glossal sclerite, galea, and tarsi paler in some, not in others.</p>

(Tegmen length = 0.33 mm (n = 1)) Lobe of basale thick, short, and wide with dilated apex; shoulders obtuse and slanted; apicale and basale with distinct suture; parameres entirely arcuate, tips moderately sharp; penis longer than tegmen with pointed apex.</p>
            <p>Variation. Apart from color variation, some specimens have a much narrower pronotum, more prominent pronotal pad, and slightly larger eyes. The hypomeral edges are more narrowly separated in some specimens than others.</p>
            <p>Geographical Distribution (Fig. 64). Widespread in New Guinea from west to east.</p>
            <p> Natural History. According to specimen label data,  H. heisenbergi sp. nov. is associated with sugarcane (  Poaceae ). The allotype label reads that it was collected by sweeping in a clearing. </p>

                 , Oksibil N, 4°54’01’’S, 140°38’48’’E, 1350-1380 m, 10.III.2018, gardens &amp; secondary lower montane rainforest on limestone, leg. D. Telnov’, in BMNH (Fig. 60.3)  . 
            </p>
            <p> Diagnosis.  Hemipeplus heisenbergi sp. nov. “obscure form” can be distinguished from the typical form of  H. heisenbergi by its slenderer appearance.  Hemipeplus heisenbergi sp. nov. “obscure form” has the following diagnostic features: temples very short and roundish but prominent in contrast to its small eyes; scape moniliform, apically dilated; eyes small (only slightly longer than the scape), shallow and less convex; pronotum subcordiform; anterior emargination deep, and prominent; anterior half wider than posterior half; pronotal pad indistinct; pronotal angles rounded; pronotal lobe indistinct, but with median notch; body long; elytra slightly convex; color dull, uniformly piceous with appendages rufopiceous; distribution: New Guinea (Papua: Star Mountains). </p>
            <p>Description. Measurements (in mm)—GHW: 0.65; HL: 0.63; AL: 1.20; GPW: 0.65; PL: 0.57; GEW: 0.87; EL: 3.17; TL: 4.37.</p>
            <p>Head (Fig. 60.3B) wide (GHW/HL: 1.03) eyes small (only slightly longer than the scape), shallow and less convex; temples very short and roundish; occiput with strongly raised areas; antennae subequal to head and pronotum length combined; antennal scape moniliform, apically dilated (not externally produced on one side); pedicel small moniliform; antennomere III more elongate and apically dilated; IV smaller, submoniliform; V slightly larger, submoniliform, apically dilated; VI–X subtriangular or bowl shaped, each wider than the next; XI subpyriform with apex narrowed after the notch; lateral mandibular tooth absent. Pronotum (Fig. 60.3B) wide (GPW/PL: 1.14), subcordiform; anterior margin with distinct emargination; anterolateral angles rounded, slightly produced; lateral margins sinuate; posterior half contracted; posterolateral angles slightly obtuse, rounded; pronotal lobe almost absent but with faint median notch; pronotal pad (Fig. 60.3C) indistinct; pronotal pits shallow without well-developed grooves, disc very rough with wide punctures and grooves. Scutellar shield transverse, elliptical, about twice as wide as long. Elytra (Fig. 60.3A) long (EL/GEW: 3.64), slightly convex; vestiture long and dense; apical patch present but not well visible owing to piceous elytra. Ventral surface. Prosternal process short, not extending posterior of procoxae; hypomeral edges narrowly separated; mesosternal process narrow and linear. Color dull, uniformly piceous with appendages rufopiceous.</p>
            <p>Male Genitalia (Figs 60. 3D–F). (Tegmen length = 0.33 mm (n = 1)) Lobe of basale short, slender with blunt apex; shoulders obtusely angled, slightly slanted; apicale and basale with distinct suture; parameres entirely arcuate, tips blunt; penis longer than tegmen with pointed apex.</p>
            <p> Remarks.  Hemipeplus heisenbergi sp. nov. “obscure form” resembles typical  H. heisenbergi sp. nov. in many aspects but is still morphologically distinct in terms of pronotum size, body color, punctures on body surface, and long vestiture. It is listed separately from  H. heisenbergi sp. nov. because it might prove to be a distinct species if further research is done with more specimens. Alternatively, it might only be an aberration since the basic characters, such as the size of eyes, temples, and pronotal pad, are about the same. The male genitalia are similar (even the length). For now, it is treated merely as a form of  H. heisenbergi sp. nov. Although not explicitly stated on the specimen data label, they appear to be sympatric since the typical form is widespread in New Guinea. </p>
