Acanthococcus

description: Acanthococcus Signoret
Generic diagnosis (amended). Adult female. Dorsum: Setae often enlarged conical or spinose. Enlarged tubular ducts absent. Macrotubular ducts present throughout. Microtubular ducts present. Median plate present or absent. Margin: often demarcated by a line of enlarged setae. Venter: often with enlarged setae near margin but with hairlike setae present elsewhere. Macrotubular ducts present, frequently of more than 1 type. Microducts present. Disc pores most usually quinquelocular, but number of loculi varying from 3 to 9. Frontal lobules often present. Antenna with 6 or 7 segments. Labium 3 segmented, basal segment with 1 or 2 pairs of setae. Legs well developed, hind leg usually with translucent pores (modified after Hodgson & Miller 2010; Kozár et al. 2013).
Comment. In addition, the Argentinian species treated in this paper have: (i) two types of microtubular ducts: Type A: with a broad vestibule (outer ductule), longitudinally divided by a median septum, the inner end with two protuberances, and with a simple outer orifice; and Type B with a narrow, undivided vestibule (ductule), with the inner end rounded and a simple outer orifice; (ii) macrotubular ducts of two types: either symmetrical with the sides of the cup of equal depth, or asymmetrical, with the cup deeper on the side where the inner ductule arises; and (iii) small macrotubular ducts, each short and narrow, with a broad cup (two or three times wider than duct), present only on ventral surface (Fig. 2 G) (González 2008).

description: Spiloscapha bryanti sp. n.
(Fig. 8)
Type material. Holotype: JAVA, ♀, Kawah Manoek, 10.IV.1909, leg. G. E. Bryant, BMNH.
Description. Shape and colour pattern of pronotum and elytra see Fig. 8. Head, pronotum, and scutellum brown; elytron brown with a black spot in the posterior part not reaching tip, lateral margin, suture and ventral side of body brown. Head with similar punctation as on pronotum; antenna bicoloured with antennomeres 1–4 brown and antennomeres 5–11 dark brown. Pronotum with fine punctures, distance between punctures 2–8 times longer than puncture diameter, surface between punctures distinctly shagreened; anterior margin medially unbordered, basal margin unbordered. Elytron with 8 somewhat irregular rows of punctures without striae, third row with approximately 38 punctures; intervals flat, with a few scattered punctures, surface between punctures shining; lateral margin visible from dorsal nearly on its entire length. Punctures on metaventrite and abdominal ventrites distinctly coarser laterally than medially. Aedeagus unknown, only female available. Body length 3.0 mm.
Diagnosis. Spiloscapha bryanti sp. n. can be recognized by its body shape and dorsal colour pattern. The colour pattern of S. bryanti sp. n. is similar to that of S. palawanica Schawaller, 2004 from the Philippines (Palawan), but the latter species is distinctly flatter, more elongate and parallel sided, the surface between the pronotal punctures is shining, the elytral intervals are posteriorly slightly convex, and the dark elytral spot reaches the lateral margin and suture. The other known species from Java, S. javanicum Gebien, 1925 has a completely different dorsal colour pattern (figured in Schawaller 1997), and also a longer body shape.
Etymology. Named in honor of Gilbert Ernest Bryant (1878–1965), former entomologist in BMNH, specialist of Chrysomelidae and collector of the holotype.

(Fig. 9)
Type material. Holotype: W MALAYSIA, ♀, Kelantan, road between Kampong Raja and Gua Musang (Ladang Pandrak), 1400–1700 m, 1.–28.IV.2006, leg. P. Čechovský, SMNS.
Description. Shape and colour pattern of pronotum and elytra see Fig. 9. Head, pronotum, and scutellum brown; elytron brown in the posterior half and dark in the anterior half, near shoulders with a light spot; ventral side of body brown. Head with distinctly coarser and denser punctation than on pronotum; antenna bicoloured with antennomeres 1–2 brown and antennomeres 3–11 dark. Pronotum with fine punctures, distance between punctures 2–8 times longer than puncture diameter, surface between punctures shining; anterior margin medially unbordered, basal margin unbordered. Elytron with 8 somewhat irregular rows of punctures without striae, third row with approximately 30 punctures; intervals slightly convex, with a few scattered punctures, surface between punctures shining; lateral margin visible from dorsal nearly on its entire length. Punctures on metaventrite and abdominal ventrites slightly coarser laterally than medially. Aedeagus unknown, only female available. Body length 3.5 mm.
Diagnosis. Spiloscapha cechovskyi sp. n. can be recognized by its body shape, elongate pronotum, slightly convex elytral intervals, and dorsal colour pattern. Its dorsal colour pattern is similar to S. bipunctata Schawaller, 1997 from Indochina and Yunnan, but this species (figured in Schawaller 1997, infraspecific variation see also Fig. 7 herein) is larger (4.0– 4.3 mm) and higher convex, the pronotum is broader, the elytral intervals are flat, and the rows of punctures on the elytra are finer. S. nigrofasciata Gebien, 1925 (figured in Schawaller 1997), also known from W Malaysia, has a similar small body size, but the pronotum is broader, the head is finely punctured as on pronotum, the elytral intervals are flat, the rows of punctures on the elytra are finer, and the dorsal colour pattern is different.
Etymology. Named in honor of Petr Čechovský, Czech coleopterologist in Brno, specialist of Elateridae and collector of the holotype.

Type material. Holotype: NE INDIA, %, Meghalaya, SW Cherrapunjee, 900 m, 21.V.2007, leg. P. Pacholátko, NHMB. Paratypes: NE INDIA, Meghalaya, SW Cherrapunjee, 900 m, 21.V. & 23.–25.VI.2007, leg. P. Pacholátko, 8 ex. NHMB, 4 ex. SMNS, 2 ex. BMNH.
Description. Shape and colour pattern of pronotum and elytra see Fig. 5. Head, pronotum, and scutellum light brown; elytron light brown with two dark basal spots and a dark medial transverse band widely interrupted at suture; ventral side of body light brown. Head with somewhat coarser punctation than on pronotum; antenna unicoloured brown. Pronotum with fine punctures, distance between punctures 2–6 times longer than puncture diameter, surface between punctures shining; anterior margin medially unbordered, basal margin unbordered. Elytron with 7 somewhat irregular rows of punctures without striae, third row with approximately 48 punctures; intervals flat, with scattered punctures, surface between punctures shining; lateral margin visible from dorsal nearly on its entire length. Punctures on metaventrite and abdominal ventrites only slightly coarser laterally than medially. Aedeagus as in Fig. 6. Body length 3.6–4.0 mm.
Diagnosis. Spiloscapha meghalaya sp. n. can be recognized by its body shape and dorsal colour pattern, and by the shape of aedeagus with broad apicale and short basale. The colour pattern is similar to S. assamica Kaszab, 1975 (Fig. 1) from the same area and even from the same locality (see below), but this species is larger (5.0– 5.8 mm), the antennae are dark, the anterior margin of pronotum is completely bordered, and the aedeagus is different (figured in Schawaller 1997).
Etymology. Named after the Indian northeastern province Meghalaya, where the type series was collected.

Head, pronotum, and scutellum light brown; elytron light brown with darker basal part and darker spot medially; ventral side of body light brown. Head with similar punctation as on pronotum; antenna bicoloured with antennomeres 1–3 brown and antennomeres 4–11 dark. Pronotum with fine punctures, distance between punctures 2–6 times longer than puncture diameter, surface between punctures shining; anterior margin completely bordered, basal margin unbordered. Elytron with 7 somewhat irregular rows of punctures without striae, third row with approximately 43 punctures; intervals flat, with scattered punctures, surface between punctures shining; lateral margin visible from dorsal nearly on its entire length. Punctures on metaventrite and abdominal ventrites only slightly coarser laterally than medially. Aedeagus unknown, only female available. Body length 3.8 mm.
Diagnosis. Spiloscapha toxopeusi sp. n. can be recognized by its body shape and dorsal colour pattern. Body shape similar to S. thalloides (Pascoe, 1869) from Australia (NSW) (figured in Schawaller 1997), but this species is larger, the colour pattern is different, and the head has a distinctly rougher punctation than the pronotum. All known species from adjacent New Guinea do not have light elytra with dark spots.
Etymology. Named in honor of Lambertus Johannes Toxopeus (1894–1951), Dutch lepidopterologist and collector of the holotype.

M. Geiser, 1 ex. NHMB.
Remarks. The ♂ specimen from Hoabinh has a smaller body length (3.5 mm) than the specimens of the type series (4.0– 4.3 mm), and the elytral colour pattern is somewhat different with a broader transverse light band in the anterior third (Fig. 7), and not with round spots as in the other specimens including the types. The aedeagus, however, is identical and thus I consider this colour form as an infraspecific variation.
Distribution. Vietnam, Laos (new record), Yunnan.

Remarks. This single small specimen (body length 3.0 mm) might represent a further new species, but it cannot be excluded at present, that it is only an infraspecific colour variation of S. nigrofasciata Gebien, 1925 from the same area (see above). The colour pattern is similar as in S. sinabunga Schawaller, 1997, described by a single female from Sumatra, with larger body length (4.1 mm). Further material is necessary to varify infraspecific variation and specific differences within this group.

Justification of the transfer: This species was originally described in the genus Shearella (see Lin & Li 2010) within the subfamily Tetrablemminae. Lin & Li (2014) transferred it to the newly erected Chinese genus Sinamma Lin & Li, 2014 without providing proper justification for the transfer. According to Lin & Li (2014), the genus Sinamma is characterized by the presence of a pointed eye tubercle on the male prosoma, by a strongly modified male leg I and by an exceptionally narrow postgenital plate in male and female. Despite the conical eye tubercle on the male prosoma, a character shared by other genera such as Ablemma Roewer, 1963, Anansia Lehtinen, 1981, Gunasekara, and Shearella (see Lehtinen 1981), all other diagnostic features proposed for Sinamma are not present in this species: the male leg I is normal, without a modification, and the postgenital plate in both sexes is moderately wide (see Lin & Li 2010: figs 22 & 28). On the other hand, this species shares generic features of Shearella such as six eyes in a compact group placed anteriorly on the prosoma, male chelicerae with a conical, basally wide tooth, opisthosoma globular, palp with piriform bulb and simple embolus, and laterally narrow but centrally wide epigastric fold (see Lin & Li 2010: figs 19–20, 23–24, 26 & 28). Here we transfer this species back to Shearella.

Shearella browni: Lehtinen, 1981: 54 (Brief description of male holotype; transfer).
Justification of the transfer: Shear (1978) described this species as Monoblemma browni on the basis of a single male from Madagascar. Lehtinen (1981) transferred this species to Shearella. Judging from the original description and illustrations of the male (Shear 1978), this species better fits the diagnostic features of Monoblemma than those of Shearella: it has a less compact eye group which is not elevated on a conical tubercle in the male, male chelicerae with short curving apophysis, clypeus with a pair of setae, and palpal bulb piriform, with long unmodified embolus. The features mentioned by Lehtinen to distinguish this species from M. unicum Gertsch, 1941 are merely species-specific and are not sufficient enough to alter its generic combination. Lehtinen pointed out that this species is not very close to S. lilawati and S. selvarani. He suggested to establish a new genus to accommodate this species, which, however, will be delayed until the discovery of females. Until then, it is better to include this species in Monoblemma rather than in Shearella.
