Nothotragopus zimmermani Setliff 2008, new species
No full textNothotragopus zimmermani Setliff, new species (Figs. 6–7, 12, 22–25) Diagnosis. This species differs from its congeners by the combination of its larger size (length 9.5 mm, greatest width 4.1 mm), unmodified ventral apex of the female rostrum (Fig. 12), pronotum and elytra with densely matted squamae interrupted by symmetrical glabrate patches (Fig. 7), and the apex of the female tergite VIII strongly emarginated, smooth, and set with short, stout setae on either side of medial indentation (Fig. 24). Description. Adult habitus. Length 9.5 mm, width 4.1 mm. Integument black, antennae and tarsi reddish-brown; dorsum covered in small, densely distributed, circular, prostrate scales; scales flocculent, closely appressed into dense mats that obscure cuticle except in glabrate patches. Dorsum with occasional iridescent green scales, very sparsely distributed, mostly obscured by brownish squamae, can only be seen under high magnification. Vestiture patchy; pronotal disk with pair of large glabrate patches on posterior margin, irregular circular patch on lateral sides of pronotum; elytra with median basal patch extending almost to elytral declivity, irregular circular patch on lateral anapleural margin of elytra. Pleura, legs, and venter densely clothed in brown, semierect elliptical scales, interspersed with longer, pale, semierect scales on legs. Head. Rostrum arcuate, as long as pronotum. Antennae inserted slightly beyond middle of rostrum; scape not reaching eye; club ovate, shorter than funicular articles 1 and 2 combined. Thorax. Pronotum slightly broader than long; fine medial carina visible at anterior margin and again at middle of pronotal disk; arrangement of shiny granules on lateral sides of pronotum confused. Ceiling of prosternal canal and mesosternal receptacle glabrous, lateral margins and sides of canal squamose. Mesosternal receptacle widely open. Scutellum small, subcordate, strongly protruding. Elytra and pronotum strongly convex in lateral view; granules on elytra irregular, each bearing one long, decumbent seta; humeri slightly produced but elytra not significantly wider than pronotum; elytral punctures large, shallow, mostly obscured by squamae except in patchy areas. Interval 3 with multiple rows of granules, elevated above other intervals at a short distance from base and terminating at elytral declivity; interval 2 likewise slightly raised and granulate, but to lesser extent than interval 3, elevated more toward midline. Protibia with long, erect, hair-like setae on ventral margin. Hind femur exceeding well beyond elytral apices. Female terminalia. Tergite VIII longer than broad, moderately curved ventrad, apex smooth, strongly emarginate at center, set with short stout setae arising submarginally on ventral and dorsal surface on either side of indentation (Fig. 24). Type material examined. Holotype: 1 ♀. [formerly a syntype of Cyamobolus tragopoides Heller]: ‘‘ Mt. Guntur Garoet, West Java 1,350 m., Overbeck leg/1934, 8/ Syntypus’ ’ [SMTD]. Dubious material. Males provisionally determined: 1 Oi. [formerly a syntype of Cyamobolus tragopoides Heller]: ‘‘Leg. H. Lucht, K. O. Blawan [Plawan in Heller 1940: 103], Idjen-Plateau, Java, 900–1,500 m., I. IX. 1934 /Hell FCD 50/1939, 16/ Syntypus’’ [SMTD]. 1 Oi. ‘‘E. Java, SW Madiun, Gn. Lawu, Sarangan, Cemara Sewa/ 1,800 –2,200 m. 11–12. VII. 2003 leg A. Riedel’’ [MZB]. 1 Oi. ‘‘Bremi, 900– 1,900 m. 16. VII. 2003, leg. A. Riedel/E. Java, SE Probolinggo, Gn. Argopuro’’ [ARC]. 1 Oi. ‘‘12/9/20, Tengger, U. D. v. L [?], Voogi [?] [label illegible] /[DEI]. I tentatively assign these males to N. zimmermani based on the similarity of the patchy dorsal vestiture and robust facies; male specimens are excluded from the type series. Etymology. The specific epithet is a patronym honoring the late E. C. Zimmerman, expert on Oceanic and Australian Curculionoidea and author of Nothotragopus.Published as part of Setliff, Gregory P., 2008, Review of the Indonesian GenusNothotragopusZimmerman (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Cryptorhynchinae), pp. 203-214 in The Coleopterists Bulletin (Basel, Switzerland) (Basel, Switzerland) 62 (2) on pages 203-214, DOI: 10.1649/1057.1, http://zenodo.org/record/536983

Panopides riedeli Setliff 2008, new species
No full textPanopides riedeli Setliff, new species (Figs. 10–11; 14; 37–45) Diagnosis. Elytral interval 3 strongly elevated with broadened prominence, mesofemur not exceeding the elytral apex, and straight male protibia lacking a setal brush best serve to distinguish this new species from P. anticus and P. philippinicus. This distinctive species is also somewhat smaller than its congeners (6.2–6.4 mm compared to 6.8–9.0 mm), has distally carinate coxae, the middle and hind coxae closer together, tergite VIII broader than long, the aedeagus more curved and its apex more produced and acuminate, and the basal pair of endophallic sclerites are much more slender and elongate. Description. Length 6.2–6.4 mm, width 2.5–2.8 mm (n 5 3). Vestiture primarily comprised of small, dark brown squamae, with oblong median macula of paler brown at base of pronotum and indistinct light brown patches at elytral humeri. Decumbent scales originating from granules on dorsum dark brown. Head. Male rostrum as long as pronotum, straight for basal two-thirds, moderately arcuate in apical third. Antennae inserted beyond middle of rostrum, club broadest subapically, subequal in length to funicular articles 1 + 2 (Fig. 44). Thorax. Pronotum as broad as long; fine medial carina obsolescent, remnant visible only at anterior margin. Scutellum ovate, larger than adjacent elytral punctures. Basal transverse row of marginal elytral punctures very deep and elongate; interspace between elytral punctures generally greater than diameter of puncture. Intervals strongly convex, coarsely granulate. Interval 3 with well developed longitudinal prominence starting near base and terminating at elytral declivity; prominence distinctly elevated above all other intervals, broad, obscuring adjacent striae, with rounded apex and four rows of closely appressed, shiny granules. Interval 5 also elevated slightly above adjacent intervals, but to much lesser extent than interval 3 (best observed in caudal view). Meso- and metacoxae separated by about one-half length of mesocoxa. Distal margin of coxae distinctly carinate, forming ridge along coxal margin with trochanter (Fig. 43). Male protibia straight, lacking setal brush on ventral margin (Fig. 14). Hind femur longer than elytral apices, mesofemur reaching but not exceeding elytral apices. Abdomen. Posterior margin of male tergite VII truncate, weakly emarginate medially, 10–11 pairs of plectral tubercles arranged in 2 oblique, glabrous, longitudinal rows on either side of midline, reaching posterior margin (Fig. 41). Intercoxal process of ventrite 1 coarsely punctate (Fig. 43). Male terminalia. Tergite VIII subquadrate, broader than long, posterior margin truncate. Sternite VIII obsolescent (Fig. 37). 96 at trochanter; 44) antenna; 45) meso- and metapleura, lateral view. Scale line 5 1.0 mm. Spiculum gastrale with apodeme subequal in length to aedeagal apodemes; apical arms well developed, broad, more or less symmetrical (Fig. 40). Tegminal apodeme shorter than width of tegminal ring (Fig. 42). Aedeagal body one-third as long as apodemes, somewhat curved, with apex produced, acuminate, and abruptly bent, subapically setose on dorsum. Paired, small elongate-oval sclerites near middle of aedeagal body. Endophallus with inverted Y-shaped apical sclerite and pair of very slender elongate basal sclerites, subequal in length to aedeagal apodemes (Figs. 38–39). Female of this species is unknown. Remarks. As discussed above, this new species is morphologically distinct from the two other known species of the genus, however, it shares the putative synapomorphies of the genus. Distribution. Central Sulawesi Material examined. Holotype: Oi, ‘‘C-Sulawesi Palu Palolo Lindu -N.P. leg. A. Riedel 25–27. viii. 1990 ’’ (MZB); Paratypes: 2 Oi, with the same label data as the holotype (1 ARC; 1 SMNK). Etymology. The specific epithet is a patronym honoring Dr. Alexander Riedel, collector of the specimens of the new species, in recognition of his significant contribution to the study of weevils in the Indo-Australian region.Published as part of Setliff, Gregory P., 2008, Revision of the Genus Panopides Pascoe (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Cryptorhynchinae), pp. 83-98 in The Coleopterists Bulletin 62 (1) on pages 83-98, DOI: 10.1649/1044.1, http://zenodo.org/record/537025
