Indenicmosoma curticorne Kaszab, 1980

( Fig. 5 )

Examined type specimens: SE Borneo, without further details, holotype and 1 paratype HNHM.

Additional specimens: Lombok, Sembalun Lawang, Mt. Rinjani, 1700 m, 6.–8.II.1994, leg. L. Bolm, 1 ex. SMNS.

Remarks: This species is similar to I. indochinensis , but the lateral furrow of the pronotum is narrow and the lateral margins are nearly uncrenulated, and the pronotum is widest at the middle ( Fig. 5 ). In I. indochinensis the lateral furrow is wide and the lateral margins are distinctly crenulated, and the pronotum is widest in anterior third ( Figs. 1–3 ). Unfortunately, only a few specimens of I. curticorne are available, so the variability of these characters remains unknown. The distribution seems to be restricted to the Sunda Islands (from where the widespread I. indochinensis is unknown so far).

Distribution: Indonesia (Borneo, type locality “SE Borneo”; Lombok).
