Body length 3.9 mm . In external characters identical with N. inbasalis (see below). Aedeagus as figured ( Fig. 19 ). Female . Differing from male by simply rounded elytral apices. Variation. Body length (J ♀ ) 3.9–4.6 mm . Pronotal horn with 3–4 distinct lobules laterally on each side; apical lobule bilobed to widely unevenly rounded. Differential diagnosis. Notoxus inbasaliformis sp. nov. is undoubtedly very close to N. inbasalis . It can be distinguished from the latter species only by longer median lobe of the aedeagus, with apex distinctly exceeding dorsal plate, and laterally moderately angled parameres (cf. Figs. 19 versus 20, 21). It may externally slightly resemble N. andrewesi from southern India , but differs by its larger size, more robust body, much denser and coarser punctation of the pronotal disc and elytra, and by the morphology of the male aedeagus. Etymology. Composed from inbasalis and suffix - formis (having the shape of); named in reference to the overall similarity with N. inbasalis .
