( Figs. 1 , 10 ) Type locality. Bhutan , Kamjee, 850 m a.s.l.. Type material. HOLOTYPE ( NHMB ): ♂, “ Kamjee [printed], 850 m , 13.5. [handwritten, white label] / Nat.–Hist. Museum Basel – Bhutan Expedition 1972 [white label, printed]”. PARATYPES ( NHMB , NMPC , AKEG ), same label data, 5 ♂♂ 3 ♀♀ . Description. Coloration. Head and antennae sooty, mouthparts and first two antennomeres sienna to sepia. Prothorax in male sepia, mostly with lateral and ventral sides honey yellow, while in female terra-cotta with narrow both anterior and posterior margin sienna. Elytra sepia, legs sienna with tips of femora and whole tibiae paler, honey yellow. Meso- and metasternum and ventral part of abdomen sepia. Male. Eyes protruding, head across eyes by one fourth narrower than pronotum, antennae moderately exceeding elytral midlength, projections of antennomeres 4–10 more or less, but always distinctly longer than each antennomere. Surface of head very finely and very sparsely punctate, with fine semisparse, recumbent brown pubescence, semilustrous. Pronotum as in Fig. 1 , surface of pronotum punctate and pubescent like that of head, semilustrous. Elytra ca. as wide as pronotum, parallel-sided, elytral venation slightly developed to absent. Surface of elytra rugulose-lacunose, with fine, brown, recumbent pubescence, matt to semilustrous. Aedeagus as in Fig. 10 . Female. Eyes smaller than in male, antennae serrate, reaching almost elytral midlength, elytra moderately wider than pronotum. Length (both sexes). 4.6–6.5 mm. Differential diagnosis . Laemoglyptus walteri sp. nov. is very similar to L. ramiferus (Dārjiling Distr.) , from which it differs by the non-emarginated dorsal part of the aedeagus and the apically non-divergent laterophyses (cf. Figs. 8–10 ). Etymology. Dedicated to the late Walter Wittmer, not only a well-known specialist of the family Cantharidae , but also an organisor of the Bhutan Exedition of the Naturhistorisches Museum Basel. Distribution. Bhutan .
