Ischnosoma bhojpur Kocian & Schülke 2018, sp. n.
Ischnosoma bhojpur Kocian & Schülke, sp. n. Figs 2–3, 9, 12–14, 24. Description. Head and abdomen of holotype brown, pronotum and posterior margins of tergites reddish-brown, elytra dark-brown with paler humeral portions, scutellum and posterior margins; legs and palpi yellowish, antenna brownish-yellow (Fig. 2). Paratypes have been subject to post-mortem darkening (Fig. 3). Habitus as in Figs 2–3, 9. Head 0.49–0.53 mm wide; 0.55–0.59 times as wide as pronotum, as wide as long. Eyes relatively small, slightly longer than temples. Ocular puncture very small, situated close to eye margin, with very short inconspicuous microscopic seta. Surface smooth without microsculpture, in some specimens with very fine irregular micropunctation. Antenna 1.11–1.26 mm long. Antennomeres IX–X slightly wider than long. Pronotum 0.83–0.91 mm wide; 0.67–0.73 mm long; 1.23–1.28 times as wide as long, widest in posterior half. Surface without microsculpture, very finely and sparsely punctate. Inner anterior punctures separated from pronotal margin by three, outer anterior punctures by one, inner posterior punctures by three, and outer posterior punctures by three to four times the diameter of punctures. Elytra quadrate, parallel-sided with sharply marked humeral angles, along suture 0.60–0.65 mm long; 1.0–1.05 times as wide as pronotum; 0.82–0.92 times as long as pronotum. Surface with very inconspicuous transverse microsculpture, with some very fine irregular punctures, and with very inconspicuous microscopic setae. Sutural row with 7–10 punctures, discal row with 6–10 punctures, and lateral row with 8–10 punctures. Wings reduced. Abdomen tapering towards apex from segment IV, sparsely punctate. Tergite VII without palisade fringe. Surface smooth, without distinct microsculpture. Length of forebody 1.84–1.89 mm; total body length 3.99–4.42 mm. Male. Sternite VII in the middle of posterior margin without emargination, chaetotaxy unmodified (Fig. 12). Sternite VIII in the middle of posterior margin broadly concave, apical portion without fine pubescence, but with modified dark setae; median portion with some conspicuously long thin setae (Fig. 13). Internal sac of aedeagus in basal part with two groups of longer and shorter stiletto-like sclerites (Fig. 14). Paramere with two long subapical setae. Type material. Holotype, male: NEPAL: Bhojpur Distr., E Salpa Pass, 3000– 2800 m, 24.V.1997, leg. W. Schawaller (SMNS). Paratypes (4): NEPAL, Panchthar Distr., Oberlauf von Mai Majuwa Khola, Dhorpar Kharka, 2700 m, 27.– 28.VIII.1983, 257a Berlese, J. Martens & B. Daams leg., 2♂♂ (cKoc, cSch); NEPAL, Panchthar Distr., Dhorpar Kharka, 2700 m, 13.–16.IV.1988, Martens & Schawaller, 324 mature Rhododendron-Lithocarpus forest, 1♂ 1♀ (SMNS). Etymology. The specific name is a noun in apposition, derived from the name of the Nepalese district Bhojpur, where the holotype was collected. Distribution. Eastern Nepal, districts Bhojpur and Panchthar (Fig. 24). Remarks. Ischnosoma bhojpur sp. n. belongs to the I. convexum species group. This species is closely related to I. thubal Kocian (Thailand, Taiwan) and I. manasses Kocian, a species described from Thailand. These three species share a similar arrangement of dark thick setae on the male sternites VII and VIII (the latter with two pairs of dark setae in the middle). Ischnosoma bhojpur sp. n. differs from I. thubal by reduced wings and from both species, I. thubal and I. manasses, by a different arrangement of basal sclerites in the internal sac of aedeagus. Colouration and habitus are similar to both other species. Consequently a reliable identification is possible only based on the male sternites VII and VIII and the shape of the sclerites in the internal sac of the aedeagus. Paratypes have been subject to post-mortem darkening, probably a result of exposure to a chemical of unknown identity.Published as part of Kocian, Matúš & Schülke, Michael, 2018, New species and records of Ischnosoma Stephens (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Tachyporinae) from Nepal, pp. 501-522 in Zootaxa 4442 (4) on pages 504-505, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4442.4.1, http://zenodo.org/record/130482

Head dorsally flattened, lacking frontal fovea, with well-defined vertexal foveae, temples long, more than twice as long as length of eyes; eyes very small, weakly protuberant; clypeus long, with about ten long, golden setae; maxillary palpi small, palpomere I pedunculate, about as long as palpomere III, II short, semitriangular, III elongate, about twice as long as wide, apical pseudosegment seta-like, minuscule. Antennae about 0.70 mm long, scape cylindrical, about 1.3 times as long as wide and slightly longer than pedicel, more robust, pedicel about 1.6 times as long as wide, slightly longer than III, antennomere III 1.50 times as long as IV, antennomere V and VI elongate, equal in length, 1.35 as long as IV, antennomere VII elongate, slightly longer than VIII, later quadrate, IX quadrate, as long as VII, more robust than VIII, antennomere X transverse, about 1.2 times as wide as long, terminal antennomere pointed at apex, almost twice as long as wide, three times as long as X and 1.85 times as long as scape. Relative length of antennomeres: 1.0: 0.9: 0.8: 0.5: 0.7: 0:6: 0.4: 0.4: 0.4: 0.6: 1.9. Pronotum slightly transverse, about 1.05–1.15 times as wide as long and about 1.08 – 1.13 times as long as head, widest before middle, slightly convergent to base, with two minuscule lateral foveae and minuscule median antebasal fovea, lacking antebasal sulcus. Venter with short prosternum, prosternal process pointed, prosternal cavities contiguous, hypomerae separated from median part of prosternum by hypomeral carinae, mesoventrite shorter than metaventrite, mesoventrite process pointed, mesocoxae closely separated by narrow isthmus, two mesoventrite carinae present, anterior part of mesoventrite with setae, anterior metaventrite process pointed, posterior metaventrite process wide, concave, disc of metaventrite convex with sparse setae. Elytra about 1.30–1.35 times as wide as long, lacking basal foveae, lacking sutural striae, discal striae welldefined in anterior half, humeri absent. Abdomen slightly shorter than elytra, about 1.15 times as wide as long, first visible tergite (IV) slightly longer than second (V), all visible tergites lacking foveae or carinae. First ventrite long, about as long as all other ventrites combined, second ventrite slightly longer than third, fourth and fifth ventrites equal in length, about half length of sixth ventrite. Legs in male robust with strongly enlarged femora, mesotibiae with preapical spur. Aedeagus as in Figs 3, 4. . Sexual dimorphism. Female (Fig. 2) similar to male, but with slender legs, femora not enlarged, mesotibiae lacking preapical spur. Differential diagnosis: L. lequettei is readily distinguished from its congeners from Madagascar by 1) the presence of minuscule lateral and median pronotal foveae, 2) the absence of basal elytral foveae, 3) the different shape of the aedeagus. Biology: Both specimens of L. lequettei were collected by sifting leaf-litter in a very wet, primeval forest (Fig. 5). Etymology: Patronymic, named after Benoît Lequette, Le Chef du Service Etudes et la Patrimoine, Parc national de la Réunion, who allowed our collecting trip to Réunion to be possible.
