INDONESIA : JAVA : 1 ♀ , Jakarta , 6.v.1959 , B. Pisarski & J. Proszynski lgt. ( ZSMC ). Description. Male ( holotype ). Body length 3.0 mm. Head, pronotum, elytra and legs brown, at places with reddish tinge; antennae largely reddish, distinctly darkened, brownish in terminal third. Head 1.2 times as long as wide, somewhat angled postero-medially (widely parabolic), differentiated from short neck; tempora strongly narrowing posteriad, posterior angles absent. Eyes medium-sized, moderately convex. Dorsal surface glossy, distinctly unevenly punctate; punctures coarser, umbiliform anteriorly, delicate and sparser basally, distinctly separated. Setation short, subdecumbent; scattered longer tactile setae. Antennae moderately enlarged in terminal third; antennomere I 1.9 times, X 1.25 times, XI 2.0 times as long as wide. Pronotum 1.4 times as long as wide, much narrower than head including eyes, nearly evenly rounded anteriorly, narrowed and strongly impressed (constricted) postero-laterally in dorsal view; pronotal disc convex anteriorly, distinctly impressed posteriorly and flattened in front of base in lateral view, anterior convex part with distinct median longitudinal impression/groove. Surface rather glossy; antero-lateral sides minutely and sparsely punctate, impunctate near procoxal cavities; disc with some coarser punctures, distinctly corrugated at constriction, in front of smooth antebasal area; postero-lateral impressions distinctly longitudinally wrinkled, adjacent dorso-lateral surface rugose. Setation as on head. Figs 5–8. Anthelephila balijava sp. nov. , male, holotype: 5 – protibia (left) and profemur (right); 6 – sternum VII; 7 – prongs of sternite VIII; 8 – apical portion of tegmen. Scale bars: 0.5 mm – A (Fig. 5); 0.2 mm – B (Fig. 8), C (Fig. 7), D (Fig. 6). Mesoventrite simple. Metaventrite with slight indication of paired setose submedian projections close to posterior margin. Elytra 1.6 times as long as wide, conjointly rounded apically; humeri and postscutellar impression distinct. Surface glossy, distinctly punctate; punctation uneven, double, setiferous punctures both rather widely separated and forming dense transverse band in postscutellar impression. Setation uneven, diversified, pale and whitish; ordinary pale setae somewhat longer and sparser in basal fourth, mostly subdecumbent; whitish setae short, subdecumbent, coarse, forming narrow transverse setose band in postscutellar impression; scattered, moderately longer tactile setae. Metathoracic wings fully developed. Fore legs modified ( Fig. 5 ); profemoral process robust, rounded to subtruncate apically, with short fringe of stiff setae subapically; protibiae with small lobule on inner side in distal third; pro- and mesotibiae with two, metatibiae with single distinct terminal spur; metatibiae with tuft of long stiff setae on median side subapically; penultimate tarsomere widened/flattened distally, with terminal tarsomere articulated dorsally near base for all tarsi. Abdominal sternum VII with rounded median lobe, coarsely setose on margins ( Fig. 6 ). Tergum VII moderately produced and angled apically. Sternite VIII ( Fig. 7 ); paired prongs narrow and straight in lateral view. Tergite VIII with simple paired sclerites bluntly pointed apically, narrowly connected medially. Apical sclerite of segment IX thin and inconspicuous. Aedeagus ( Fig. 8 ); apical portion of tegmen 0.5 times as long as basal-piece, trilobed apically. Female . Externally differing from male as follows: fore legs and metaventrite simple; abdominal sternum VII simple, slightly angled apically; tergum VII subtriangular, rounded apically. Variation. Body length (♂ ♀ ) 2.7–3.2 mm . Differential diagnosis. Anthelephila balijava sp. nov. belongs to the A. praetor species-group ( KEJVAL 1999 ). It is close to A. celer ( Laos , Thailand , Vietnam ) and A. promiscua ( Philippines : Luzon), sharing narrower pronotum, well-developed median longitudinal impression of pronotal disc, apically narrower profemoral process and lobed median margin of male sternum VII. It can be easily confused with A. promiscua , considering similarity of male sternite VIII, but its paired prongs are markedly more slender, with evenly lobed dorsal margin, and prominent subapical denticle, situated very near apex; see Fig. 26 by KEJVAL (1999) . Etymology. Named after the Bali and Java islands; noun in apposition. Distribution. Indonesia ( Bali , Java ).
