Figs 15–21

MATERIAL EXAMINED. Vietnam: Lam Dong Prov., 35 km NW of Bao Loc, Loc Bao env., h= 650 m, 11 o 50’12’’N 107 o 38’25’’E, 17–22.IV.2012, 1♂, leg. D. Fedorenko ( MSPU) .

NOTES. This species has been described from two females coming from “ Annam pro-

vincia Haut Donai (Agr. Stat. of Blao) ”, modern Blao in Lam Dong province of Vietnam

(Horn, 1937). Until recently, only females of this rare species were known (Naviaux, 1995),

while two males were recorded for the first time only three years ago without any morpholo-

gical remarks (Wiesner et al., 2017). Thus, the habitus, labrum, labial and maxillary palpi,

pronotum and elytra of the male, as well as the aedeagus are illustrated here for the first time.

The main measurements of male are as follows: TL = 17.4 mm vs. 16.0– 17.5 mm in females

(Naviaux, 1995); BH = 3.5 mm; HW = 2.9 mm; LL = 1.1 mm; LW = 1.5 mm (LW/LL = 1.36);

PL = 4.0 mm; PW = 1.9 mm ( PL / PW = 2.11); EL = 9.6 mm; EW = 3.6 mm ( EL /EW = 2.67);

AL = 3.3 mm.
