Japanese Society of Systematic Entomology Notes on the Genus Indalmus (Coleoptera: Endomychidae), with Redescription of I. quadripunctatus (Ohta, 1931) Koichi SOGOH and Hiroyuki YOSHITOMI Entomological Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Ehime University, Tarumi 3-5-7, Matsuyama, 790-8566 Japan Abstract The specimen data of nine species of the genus Indalmus preserved mainly in Ehime University Museum are reported. Indalmus quadripunctatus (Ohta) is redescribed based on additional specimens. The new distributional records are as follows: I. angusticollis Gerstaecker, 1858 from Laos and Malaysia; I. lineellus (Chapuis, 1876) from Indonesia (Yamdena Is.); I. malayanus malayanus Arrow, 1926 from Laos and Vietnam; and I. medogensis Chang & Ren, 2013 from Vietnam. Introduction The genus Indalmus Gerstaecker, 1858 (Coleoptera, Endomychidae, Lycoperdininae) is represented by 36 species (+ 2 subspecies) distributed in Africa, Madagascar, India, Sri Lanka, Indochina, East Asia, Southeast Asia, Papua New Guinea and Australia (Tomaszewska, 2005; Shockley et al., 2009; Chang & Ren, 2013). This genus belongs to the Eumorphus genus group together with 13 genera (Avencymon, Encymon , Eumorphus , Platindalmus , Parindalmus , Malindus, Callimodapsa, Cymones, Haploscelis, Chetryrus, Microtrycherus, Trycherus, and Ancylopus) (Tomaszewska, 2005). Strohecker (1979) reviewed the Asian and Australasian species of this genus, but it is possible that the distribution of each species is unclear because the specimens used in that study were limited. In addition, Indalmus quadripunctatus (Ohta, 1931) described from Taiwan was not reviewed, because he could not examine any specimens of this species. In this paper, we report the specimen data of nine species of the genus Indalmus preserved mainly in Ehime University Museum, and redescribe Indalmus quadripunctatus (Ohta, 1931) based on the Japanese specimen. Material and Methods The materials examined in this paper are preserved in Ehime University Museum, Matsuyama, Japan (EUMJ); Kyushu University Museum, Japan (KUMJ); and Systematic Entomology, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan (SEHU).

    Notes on the Genus Indalmus (Coleoptera: Endomychidae), with Redescription of I. quadripunctatus (Ohta, 1931)

    Abstract The specimen data of nine species of the genus Indalmus preserved mainly in Ehime University Museum are reported. Indalmus quadripunctatus (Ohta) is redescribed based on additional specimens. The new distributional records are as follows: I. angusticollis Gerstaecker, 1858 from Laos and Malaysia; I. lineellus (Chapuis, 1876) from Indonesia (Yamdena Is.); I. malayanus malayanus Arrow, 1926 from Laos and Vietnam; and I. medogensis Chang & Ren, 2013 from Vietnam.

    IntroductionThe genus Indalmus Gerstaecker, 1858 (Coleoptera,

    Endomychidae, Lycoperdininae) is represented by 36 species (+ 2 subspecies) distributed in Africa, Madagascar, India, Sri Lanka, Indochina, East Asia, Southeast Asia, Papua New Guinea and Australia (Tomaszewska, 2005; Shockley et al., 2009; Chang & Ren, 2013). This genus belongs to the Eumorphus genus group together with 13 genera (Avencymon, Encymon , Eumorphus , Platindalmus , Parindalmus , Malindus, Callimodapsa, Cymones, Haploscelis, Chetryrus, Microtrycherus, Trycherus, and Ancylopus) (Tomaszewska, 2005).

    Strohecker (1979) reviewed the Asian and Australasian species of this genus, but it is possible that the distribution of each species is unclear because the specimens used in that study were limited. In addition, Indalmus quadripunctatus (Ohta, 1931) described from Taiwan was not reviewed, because he could not examine any specimens of this species.

    In this paper, we report the specimen data of nine species of the genus Indalmus preserved mainly in Ehime University Museum, and redescribe Indalmus quadripunctatus (Ohta, 1931) based on the Japanese specimen.

    Material and MethodsThe materials examined in this paper are preserved in

    Ehime University Museum, Matsuyama, Japan (EUMJ); Kyushu University Museum, Japan (KUMJ); and Systematic Entomology, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan (SEHU).

    General observations, dissections and microstructures of dissected parts were made under a Leica MZ95. After observation, the dissected parts were mounted on the same card with the specimen. Photographs were taken under a Leica MZ95.

    Technical terms refer to Tomaszewska (2005) and Sogoh & Yoshitomi (2017).

    Morphological abbreviations used in this study are as follows: EL: elytral length from anterior margin to elytral apex; EW: maximum elytral width; PML: pronotal length in median line; PSL: pronotal length from anterior angle to posterior margin; PW: maximum width of pronotum; TL: total length (PML + EL). The average is given in parenthesis after the range. The new distributional records are marked with an asterisk (*).

    Indalmus Gerstaecker, 1858

    Indalmus Gerstaecker, 1858: 185. Tomaszewska, 2005: 46 [redescription]. Type species: Eumorphus kirbyanus Latreille, 1807.

    Mycella Chapuis, 1876: 104. Type species. Mycella lineella Chapuis, 1876.

    Diagnosis. Body elongate or oval and glossy. Antennae shorter than 1/2 of TL; antennal club 3-segmented, loose. Pronotum bearing short setae in anterior margin, with stridulatory membrane; anterior angles slightly acute; posterior angles almost right angled; lateral sulci deep, slightly long and subparallel. Prosternal process long and slightly slender. Metaventrite transverse, punctate and setose; anterior margin widely bordered, with three pairs of mycangial pits. Elytra oval to oblong, with four yellow to orange markings in most species, with obscure two markings or without markings in some species; latero-basal markings (lb) oval to transverse; latero-apical markings (la) oval to transverse, situated in apical 1/4. Male sternite 8 narrow and emarginate at middle. Male genital segment with paired apophyses fused in apical 1/3. Aedeagus moderately long, strongly sclerotized, stout; median lobe having two processes (ab and sb) in apical part; apical branch (ab) projecting apically; subapical branch (sb) situated under ab; tegmen placed at base of median lobe, ring-like shaped, fused with parameres. Female genitalia with transversal tergite 8; sternite 8 separated two plates and fused with ovipositor; styli present.

    Remarks. This genus resembles Callimodapsa Strohecker, 1974 and Parindalmus Achard, 1922, but differs from them by the following characteristics; antennae and legs longer and more slender separate it from Callimodapsa; pronotum not much narrower than base of the elytra separate it from Parindalmus (Tomaszewska, 2005).

    June 15, 2018, JJSE 24 (1)

    Distribution. China, Vietnam*.Diagnosis. Male fore and middle tibiae with teeth. Elytral

    markings (la and lb) small and oval. Median lobe straight and long; apical branch (ab) short, broad and flat; subapical branch (sb) long and curved at middle.

    Remarks. This species was described from China, and this is the first record from Vietnam. This species is similar to I. distinctus in general appearance, but can be differentiate by the broader elytra, sides of pronotum subparallel and weakly constricted at basal 1/3, and mesotibia of male without tooth (Chang and Ren, 2013).

    Distribution. Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos.Diagnosis. Male fore tibia with tooth. Elytral markings (la

    and lb) large and oval. Median lobe straight and long; apical branch (ab) short, curved laterally; subapical branch (sb) slender, longer than ab, hooked at apex.

    Remarks. This species is similar to I. coomani coomani, but separated by the wider elytra (Strohecker, 1979).
