Figs 1–4 . MATERIAL. Holotype , ♂ , West Malaysia, Perak : with labels “W. MALAYSIA FELDA LASAH vill. env. 40 km NE of IPOH 13–21.iii.2001 R . Hergovits leg.” ( MMBC ). Paratypes : 18♀♀ “W. MALAYSIA FELDA LASAH vill. env. 40 km NE of IPOH 13.–21.iii.2001 R . Hergovits leg.” (cPB; 2♀♀ — MMBC ; 5♀♀ — cMG). DESCRIPTION ( holotype ). Length 3.0 mm. Body colouration dark brown, with red tint; legs and antennae light brown. Integument slightly shining, body surface with short light- coloured hairs. Head transverse, with a wide base, ratio of its length (from posterior margin of head to anterior margin of clypeus) to maximum width about 23:38. Neck constriction prominent. Eyes large, convex, occupying almost entire lateral surface of head; temples weakly developed, eye diameter in dorsal view about 3 times as long as temple length ( Figs 1–2 ). Head surface with very delicate, extremely fine and dense punctation. Puncture diameter more than 5 times as small as eye facet. Distances between punctures significantly smaller than their diameter, interspaces smooth, slightly shining. Antennae not completely preserved in holotype ( Fig. 1 ), only 4 and 5 first segments present on left and right antennae, respectively. In paratype (female) antennae similar in morphology ( Figs 1–2 ), with length of all segments significantly exceeding their width ( Fig. 2 ). Pronotum heart-shaped ( Figs 1–2 ), widest about 2/3 its length from base, then narrowed. Lateral margins serrated ( Figs 1–2 ). Ratio of pronotum length to its maximum width about 33:49. Surface of central part of pronotum with very delicate, extremely fine and dense punctation, near lateral margins surface of pronotum densely shagreened. Puncture diameter more than 5 times as small as eye facet. Distances between punctures significantly smaller than their diameter, interspaces smooth, slightly shining. Pronotal disc with two pronounced symmetrical longitudinal parallel depressions and 1 weak unpaired depression along midline near apex ( Figs 1–2 ). Ratio of length of elytra to their combined width about 52:56. Elytra with weak longitudinal depressions along suture ( Figs 1–2 ). Surface of elytra with rather delicate, fine and dense punctation. Puncture diameter about 1.5 times as small How to cite this article: Gildenkov M.Yu. 2019. Two new species of the genus Carpelimus Leach, 1819 from as eye facet.Distances between punctures significantly smaller than their diameter, interspaces smooth, slightly shining. Abdomen delicately shagreened. Aedeagus of characteristic structure ( Fig. 3 ). Female. Sexual dimorphism absent, female morphologically similar to male. Spermatheca of characteristic structure ( Fig. 4 ). COMPARATIVE REMARKS. The new species is similar in size to Carpelimus (s. str.) magnus Gildenkov, 2014 that lives in Indonesia and Philippines [Gildenkov, 2014c, 2019b], but differs from this species in having a lighter colouration, slightly more pronounced temples, wider pronotum with serrated lateral margins and elytra with a significantly finer punctation; clearly differs in the structure of the aedeagus ( Fig. 3 ). DISTRIBUTION. Malaysia : Malacca . ETYMOLOGY. From Latin “pulchram, pulchrå” (beautiful, fine); the name refers to the external appearance of the beetle: its large size, a rather bright colouration and wide pronotum with serrated margins.
