03C86870243AFE55BFC8FE40BF16FCEB.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Apical margin of frontoclypeal region feebly trilobed and less than twice as wide as the distance between antennal sockets; prothoracic hypomera with posteriorly open, medially undefined lateral antennal grooves either deep or shallow in depth; male prothoracic tarsomere I simple, with sex combs; metathoracic coxal plates medially 3.0 – 6.0 times wider than laterally; last abdominal ventrite strongly produced; pretarsal claws toothed basally; lateral surfaces of mesothoracic and metathoracic tibiae either with setae and transverse rows of spine combs or with setae and irregularly placed spines (Otto 2016). Diversity. This is a small group consisting of 13 species. Six described species are present from Gabon east to Somalia, south to South Africa and Madagascar, and two species are represented in continental southern Asia: Macroscython coomani Fleutiaux and M. granulosus. Specimens of an additional five undescribed species are known from in the broader Indo-Australian region.	en	Otto Jiří Háva, Robert L.

03C86870243AFE53BFC8FC6FBD4BFE21.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis. The darker coloration of the integument along with granulose pronotal surfaces will readily separate M. granulosus from M. coomani. Specimens examined. Two specimens were studied: China: Yunnan Province: CHINA: S-Yunnan / (Xishuangbanna) / 20 km NW Jinghong / Man Dian (NNNR-office) // 22 ° 07.80 N, 100 ° 40.05 E / 740 m, 26. V. 2008 / leg. A.

Body subcylindrical, elongate; uniformly dark reddish brown to dark brown; antennae and legs dark reddish brown; head, pronotum and elytra clothed with short, yellowish recumbent setae. Head. Subspherical; frons convex; apical margin of frontoclypeal region evenly rounded, less than 2.0 times wider than base; surfaces dull, granulose; mandibles stout, bidentate, densely punctate and rugose. Antennae. Strongly serrate, extending nearly as long as 1 / 2 the length of body; flagellomere I longer than wide, slightly longer than II; flagellomere II longer than wide, slightly longer than III; flagellomeres III – VIII each longer than wide, subequal. Pronotum. Basal 3 / 4 parallel-sided, apical 1 / 4 arcuate; wider than long, with moderate, sharp hind angles; disc convex; surfaces dull, granulose; base sinuous. Scutellar shield. Somewhat shiny, closely punctate, oblong, subtriangular and distally rounded. Elytra. Strongly striate; interstices elevated with close, dense punctations. Legs. First tarsomere shorter than the combined lengths of the remaining four on mesothoracic and metathoracic tarsi; tibiae rounded in cross section; metathoracic tarsomeres I – III simple; metathoracic tarsomere IV excavate-emarginate; metathoracic tarsomere V elongate; pretarsi with basally toothed claws. Venter. Sparsely punctate, with very short, yellowish recumbent setae; prothoracic hypomera with shallow, medially vaguely defined, posteriorly open lateral antennal grooves; metathoracic episterna parallel-sided; metathoracic coxal plates medially 3.0 – 6.0 times wider than laterally.	en	Otto Jiří Háva, Robert L.

03C86870243AFE53BFC8FC6FBD4BFE21.taxon	distribution	Distribution. This rarely encountered eucnemid species has been previously taken in and reported only from Laos and Thailand. New records are here confirmed for China and Nepal.	en	Otto Jiří Háva, Robert L.

03C86870243AFE53BFC8FC6FBD4BFE21.taxon	biology_ecology	Biology. Developmental stages remain unknown for this species. Adults from Laos were taken from a northern annamites rainforest, northern Indochina subtropical forests and southern annamites montane rainforests (Dinerstein et al. 2017). One specimen was taken at light in China. Note. An interactive map (ecoregions 2017. appspot. com) was embedded within the article written by Dinerstein et al. (2017), which allowed for identification of the general ecoregion from which the eucnemid species was taken in Laos.	en	Otto Jiří Háva, Robert L.
