This species is easily differentiated from its congeners by its large size, 15 mm or more, the specific form of the median lobe ( Figs 28A, B, C, D ), and W/Lp2>1.5. Description . Habitus . Large-sized specimens (BL: 15.1–16.6 mm , BW: 5.65–6.70 mm ), with elongate and moderately convex body ( Figs 27A, G ). Ratios and measurements . See Table 5 . Color and luster . Body dorsally black, ventrally dark brown to black, surface markedly shiny, without iridescence. Antennomere 1 and medial parts of antennomeres 2 and 3 piceous, marginal part of last two antennomeres and 4–11 fulvous to rufous. Palpi rufopiceous with extremities paler. Legs rufous to rufopiceous. Punctuation . Dorsal surface without punctuation; proepisternum with dense and shallow punctures, meso- and metepisternum, sides of metasternum and ventrite 1 at base with dense and coarse punctures; abdominal ventrites more or less punctured and wrinkled at sides. FIGURE 27. Nothoodes angustatus Lorenz, 1998 (A–F: male specimen, Nepal, Siddharthanagar; G: female specimen, Nepal, 8 km NE Nepalgunj). A, G: habitus (arrow shows position of right basal setiferous puncture of pronotum); B: labium, with emphasis to mentum; C: labium, with emphasis to submentum, seen from the rear (white spots show locations of submental setiferous punctures); D: prosternal process (arrow shows place of disappearance of bordering); E: right metepisternum and metacoxa (arrow shows lateral end of metacoxal basal sulcus); F: abdominal ventrites (III–VI—number of respective ventrites; arrow shows position of ambulatory seta of ventrite III). Scale lines = 2 mm (Figs A, G); = 0.5 mm (Figs B–D); = 1 mm (Figs E–F). FIGURE 28. Nothoodes angustatus Lorenz, 1998 (A–D: male specimen, “Bengale Jungle de Mohrbunj”; E–F: female specimen, Nepal, Siddharthanagar). A: median lobe of aedeagus, lateral view; B: same, ventral view; C: same, posterior dorsal view; D: same, anterior dorsal view; E: left gonocoxite, ventral view; F: spermathecal complex and gonocoxites, ventral view. Scale lines = 0.5 mm (Figs A–D, F); = 0.2 mm (Fig. E). Head . Relatively large, more than half the width of pronotum ( Table 5 ). Mentum tooth rounded apically, with distinct paramedial border ( Fig. 27B ). Thorax . Pronotum with sides slightly rounded toward posterior angles; maximum width very close to posterior angles; disc without laterobasal impressions; base moderately sinuate. Prosternum with deep median longitudinal sulcus; prosternal process subelongate, bordered laterally and subapically, unbordered at apex ( Fig. 27D ). Metepisternum elongate (MA/MM: 0.84–0.91), its coadunation with epipleuron short, located anteriorly ( Fig. 27E ). Elytra . Apical sinuation slightly distinct. Basal margin distinct laterally, forming a minute denticle at shoulder, disappearing medially at level between striae 2 and 3.Granulation in marginal furrow continuous. Parascutellar striola well developed, long, finely punctate; striae 1–6 less impressed than stria 7. Intervals 1–7 rather flat, interval 8 moderately convex. Legs . Male mesotibia with a swelling in apical two-thirds. Protarsomeres 1–3 of male strongly dilated (W/Lp2: 1.55–1.76). Male genitalia . Median lobe ( Figs 28A, B, C, D ) with basal bulb long, cylindrical, and moderately open dorsally; angle between basal bulb and shaft nearly right; shaft swollen anteriorly (lateral view); apex curved ventrally; apical lamella straight, wide, subtriangular, rounded at tip; ostium long, nearly reaching basal bulb; internal sac with a smaller proximal sclerite situated in medial third and a large, compound distal one in apical half. Female genitalia . Apical gonocoxite stout, sub-triangular, with dorsomedial ensiform seta located equidistant from base and middle and nematiform setae removed from apex ( Fig. 28E ). Bursa copulatrix subconical; spermathecal gland connected at apex of seminal canal ( Fig. 28F ). Distribution . Nepal , India , Sri Lanka , Bangladesh , Myanmar ,? Malaysia (‘Malacca’). According to Andrewes (1930) and Saha & Halder (2000) , the species occurs in the Indian states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Meghalaya (Khasi Hills), and Karnataka. The record for ‘Malacca’ ( Chaudoir 1882 ; Andrewes 1930 , 1940 ; Csiki 1931 ) is highly doubtful (see “Notes”). First record for Nepal . Bionomics . Nothing is known about the bionomics of N . angustatus . Notes . Specimen cited as [ Oodes ] indicus by Chaudoir (1882) has been examined and found to belong to N . angustatus (see “Material examined”). The name Oodes indicus is a nomen nudum. We have also studied the material published as ‘? Oodes parallelus ’ by Bates (1892: 323) . It is a female specimen representing the species dealt with here. Most likely the citation of the female specimen identified as “ Oodes parallelus LaFerté-Sénectère ” from ‘Malacca’ ( Chaudoir 1882: 348 ) refers to the holotype of Oodes subcoriaceus Chaudoir, 1882 . Two specimens collected near Dwarakapuram Village, Andhra Pradesh , India , were collected together with a paratype of O . bharat indicating that the two Nothoodes species live together.
