description: 3. Stenaptinus consularis (Schmidt-Göbel, 1846)
Figs 5, 8, 15, 18, 31–34, 57, 60, 90–94.
DIAGNOSIS. Elytra slightly wider apically than basally, with humeri more or less widely rounded and rather distinct. Dorsal pattern (Figs 90–94): black patch on vertex small Vshaped, narrow to missing; pronotum black, with yellowish spots narrow and separate, to yellow, with base, apex and lateral beads black; elytral transverse band from narrow, more or less dentate, isolated from lateral margin, to wide and laterally extended to widely pale apical margin. Tergite VII with 9–14 strong and straight apical setae in female, sternite VII bi- to quadrisetose in male. Aedeagus (Figs 31–34) similar to that of S. lissoderus, except that apex of median lobe is blunt and the internal sac has larger basal bulbs: proximal bulbs and left distal bulb being very large, and right distal bulb rudimentary yet very distinct (vs. missing). Female gonocoxite IX (Fig. 57, 60) and reproductive tract as in S. lissoderus.
GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION. Northern India and northern Indochina, including Myanmar and Thailand east to northern and central Vietnam. The species range is similar to that of S. stenoderus yet not quite clear, since confusion of the two species occurred based on Chaudoir’s [Chaudoir, 1876] supposion of their synonymy. Bates [1892] shared and Andrewes then [Andrewes, 1923, 1924] confirmed this supposition, while the latter author occasionally used the junior synonym for the species [Andrewes, 1924].
COMMENTS. The adults from all examined Vietnamese populations of the species are constantly different from the other ones in body shape, proportions, and colour pattern, the latter being almost invariable, which is largely uncharacteristic of the genus. This seems to me sufficient to describe a new subspecies.

Body pattern as in Figs 90–92: head yellow except narrow to missing black V-shaped patch on vertex; dorsal yellow pattern otherwise consisting of narrow paramedian spots on pronotum, and elytral markings, such as small to missing humeral spot, mostly narrow median fascia isolated from lateral margin, ridges apically, and sometimes also spot in outer angles.
Head and pronotum totally impunctate and glabrous (except for imperceptible yet rather dense microscopic ciliae).
Pronotum quadrate, somewhat subcordate, barely longer than wide, PW/PL 0.92–1.0 (0.97), narrow, PW/HW 0.96– 1.01 (0.98), broadest a third from apex, PLw/PW 0.31–0.38 (0.34); sides barely to distinctly sinuate a fifth from base and rounded in front. Base slightly wider than apex, PB/PA 1.06– 1.12 (1.08), with basal and apical margins gently convex or gently concave, respecrively, the former with subtle or no sinuation towards basal angles; these very slightly acute to right and rather sharp. Lateral bead and groove very fine and mostly obliterate in basal fourth.

description: 7. Stenaptinus dongnaiensis Fedorenko, sp.n.
Figs 51, 55, 72, 106–107.
MATERIAL. Holotype ♂ (ZMMU) with label ‘S[outhern] Vietnam, N[orthern part of] Dongnai Province, Nam Cat Tien Nat [ional]. Park, Exped[ition of]. Russ [ian].-Vietnamese Tropical Centre, at light HQL450, 21.X.2004, leg. D.Fedorenko’. Paratypes, 2♂♂ (SIEE), same data except for dates 5.XII.2004 or 17.VI.2005. — Aedeagus examined in all males.
DIAGNOSIS. No difference from S. fimbriatus except in colour pattern (Figs 72, 106–107), and aedeagus is distinctive. Specifically, vertex with a small, subtransverse pentagonal to rhomboidal black patch; pronotal pale spots large, separated or fused along midline, reaching lateral margin, so that pronotum laterally pale or with lateral bead vaguely infuscated in basal half; elytral transverse band wide. Aedeagus (Figs 51, 55): apex of median lobe barely tapered in lateral view (vs. triangular in S. fimbriatus), similar yet more symmetrical in dorsal view. Internal sac with the body much larger than proximal basal bulbs; these projecting laterad and well-visible in dorsal view.
DESCRIPTION. BL 17.1–18.5 mm; pronotum broadest two fifths from apex, basal angles right or slightly obtuse, lateral bead and groove very fine throughout. For the other details see the diagnosis.
GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION. Known from the type locality only.
NAME. Topotypic.
HABITATS AND HABITS. The three specimens have been collected at light, at the edge of tropical monsoon forest about 100 m distant from the Dong Nai River.
COMMENTS. The new species is very close to S. fimbriatus and very similar to its paler specimens.

Remarks. Lohse and Smetana (1985) resurrected Atheta (Dimetrota) aeneipennis from the synonymy of A. (D.) picipennis (Mannerheim). Paśnik (2001) recorded Atheta (Dimetrota) picipennis from North Korea. Later, Smetana (2004) replaced the record of A. (D.) picipennis with A. (D.) aeneipennis. After examining all North Korean specimens of Atheta (Dimetrota) picipennis, we found that the record by Paśnik (2001) is the result of a misidentification of Atheta (Dimetrota) aeneipennis, in agreement with Smetana (2004). This species has not been collected in South Korea.

Remarks. After detailed comparative studies of Atheta (Dimetrota) atramentaria with its related species, we found that this species is in agreement with the male diagnostic characters including aedeagus of A. (Bessobia) genitilior described by Pace (1998). Therefore, the species may be synonymized under A. (D.) atramentaria. But it is still premature to propose a synonym until thorough comparative and detailed study of the species including type specimens. This species was recorded by Kim et al. (1994) for the first time in Korea and some specimens were collected from mushroom in forest.

(Fig. 8H)
Remarks. Atheta (Dimetrota) weisei was recorded by Paśnik (2001) for the first time in North Korea and by Cho et al. (2002) for the first time in South Korea. But, a habitus photograph of A. (D.) weisei provided by the paper of Cho et al. is incorrect identification of Gyrophaena species.
While studying Korean Athetini, we found that this species is similar to Atheta (Tetropla) nigritula Gravenhorst (1802). After studying the syntype of A. (D.) weisei and the lectotype of A. (T.) nigritula, we suspect that the character difference between these two species is insufficient to separate as different species. However, a more thorough comparative study including minute characters of specimens from broader distributional areas should be conducted to propose a synonym, A. (D.) weisei under A. (T.) nigritula. Almost Korean specimens were found on mushrooms and some were collected from FIT or bait trap.

Diagnosis. MALE. Antenna and legs pale yellow. Ocelli medial size, POD:OOD 1.4 ×. Clypeus medially weakly elevated, anterior border without denticles. F2 2.0 × F1 and somewhat longer than F3. Mesopleuron without precoxal denticle. T7 smooth apically. Cuspis of volsella thin, long. Body length 6.5 mm. FEMALE. Unknown.
Material examined. (2♂). Type material. Holotype of Smicromomyrme pallipes Lelej. Additional material. Iran: Hormozgan, 10 km W Gawbandi, 27º16'N 55º56'E, 250 m, 28.VI.2001, 1♂, T. Osten [SMNS].
Distribution. Iran (Sistan and Baluchestan, Hormozgan).
Remarks. This species occupies an isolated position in the genus Skorikovia due to the very light color of the body and the presence of genitalia with a long, narrow cuspis, making the volsella similar to the males of the genus Rasnitsynitilla Lelej in Lelej & van Harten, 2006, from which it differs by the non-shortened wings with a welldeveloped pterostigma and veins.

description: Episcaphula Crotch
Episcaphula Crotch, 1876: 409.
Type species: Episcaphula amboinensis Crotch, 1876: 409, by original designation.
Diagnosis. Episcaphula is a member of the Megalodacnini with the following characters: pronotum lacking posterior marginal bead; pronotum with anterior margin not projecting, not surpassing anterior angles, evenly concave; mentum broadly transverse to rectangularly pentagonal; and tarsi with distinct tarsomere 4. Episcaphula is distinguished from other genera by their smaller size (in general), antennomere 3 only about 1.5× as long as antennomere 2, and tarsomeres 2–3 are little dilated ventrally, tarsomere 3 is not broadly lobed.
Remarks. With the raising of the subgenus Orytelus Heller, 1920, to generic status by Chûjô (1968), Episcaphula is left with five subgenera comprised of approximately 95 species in Asia (Chûjô & Chûjô 1988b), 39 species in African tropics (Delkeskamp 1981), but no members in the New World. Species of Episcaphula from Indonesia were reviewed by Heller (1920). Chûjô & Chûjô (1988a) had begun revisionary work on the New Guinea fauna, described additional species and stated there are many more undescribed species. Unfortunately, no more current work has been published on the group.
Even with five subgenera, the remaining species of Episcaphula (Episcaphula) show a large amount of diversity in body size, color patterns, surface structure (setose vs. glabrous), antennal characters, pronotal puncture patterns, etc., indicating it remains a large conglomerate of taxa needing further study at a generic level. Until more studies and additional analyses are made, we prefer to retain the current subgenera of Episcaphula.

Episcaphula (Tropidoscaphula) Heller, 1920: 56.
Type species: Episcaphula corallipes Gorham, 1888: 142–143, by original designation.
Diagnosis. Tropidoscaphula has characters of Episcaphula as discussed above. It is distinguished from other subgenera by the following characters: body shape broader more elliptical; surface not densely punctate or pubescent; pronotal lateral bead at margin thickened, widest anteriorly; elytral lateral margin notably explanate most of length; and prosternum with weak but distinct keeled (reduced in the new species).
Remarks. Tropidoscaphula currently has nine described species distributed in Indonesia (New Guinea to northern Borneo). The species described here extends that range to northern Australia.

Type species Bryococcus hippodamus sp. nov.
Genus description. Adult female body rotund-oval, derm membranous. Eyespots not seen. Dorsal and marginal setae sparse, spinose, often minute, larger setae on posterior abdomen; ventral setae spinose on posterior abdominal segments, a few minute setae elsewhere; interantennal setae flagellate. Antennae 6-segmented, with 1 fleshy seta on segments IV, V and 3 on VI; with 3 flagellate setae on segment I, 2 each on II, III, 1 on V, 4 long flagellate setae and 1 short seta on VI; segment III not longer than other segments. Mouthparts distinctive: clypeolabral shield partly enclosed within and surrounded by a horse collar-shaped, wide sclerotised rim, labium free of rim. Anal lobes sclerotised, short and broad, with rounded apices curving towards median; apical setae displaced from terminal position by dorsal seta LD2; anal lobe setae all small, spinose; anal ring ventral, cellular with 6 setae. Legs well developed but small for body; metathoracic coxa rectangular in shape, with rounded angles, covered with reticulate translucent pores. With unique 5-locular disc pores, each raised on a stalk to a height at least equal to the diameter of the disc pore; distributed over all dorsum, more numerous around margin where continous with ventral submargin; when on anal lobes, these stalked disc pores are each sunken in a dermal invagination. Macrotubular ducts absent. Microtubular ducts minute, present dorsally on posterior lateral lobules. Lateral lobes of last 3 free abdominal segments with sclerotised lobules present near margin, decreasing in size anteriorly; posterior lateral lobule largest, consisting of a convoluted raised area penultimate to anal lobes, anterior lateral lobule a lightly sclerotised patch, middle lateral lobule intermediate in structure; each lobule with a few stout setae and stalked disc pores. Spiracles each with a rim of stalked 5-locular disc pores surrounding a cluster of smaller, inner 5-locular disc pores, apodeme relatively large and atrium small.
Comments. Bryococcus can be distinguished immediately from other genera of Eriococcidae in New Zealand by: (i) the presence of uniquely stalked 5-locular disc pores on the dorsum and on ventral submargins; (ii) the sclerotised, horse collar-shaped rim surrounding the clypeolabral shield; and (iii) the lateral lobules on dorsal margins of posterior abdomen.
Etymology. The genus name is derived from Bryo-, meaning moss, combined with coccus for ‘scale’, for the mossy habitat.

1. Spiracles each with a well developed apodeme; associated spiracular disc pores not stalked or invaginated, scattered nearby; prothoracic and mesothoracic legs entirely lacking; metathoracic leg a ballshaped coxa (leg flap) completely covered with reticulate pores ............................................................... 2
- Spiracles without a well-developed apodeme; each spiracle within a large semi-circular, invaginated area; associated spiracular disc pores slightly sunken on short stalks, forming a tight group close to peritreme; all legs represented by vestigial leg flaps, with few pores, none ball-shaped and completely covered with pores .............................................................................................................................. K. kiwiana sp. nov.
2. Posterior and submarginal dorsal abdomen folding round onto ventral abdomen, with dorsal intersegmental lines strongly sclerotised, each curved, reflexed towards submedian; invaginations on abdominal segments not containing 5-locular disc pores ................................................................................ K. obscurata
- Dorsal abdominal intersegmental lines strongly nodulose, if curved, then not strongly reflexed; with a row of invaginated 5-locular pores on each dorsal abdominal segment ................................................. K.parva
