Taxonomic revision of the Oriental species of Notoxus (Coleoptera: Anthicidae) Author Kejval, Zbyněk text Acta Entomologica Musei Nationalis Pragae 2011 2011-12-09 51 2 627 673 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.5329507 0374-1036 5329507 Notoxus indicus species-group Diagnosis. Elytral apices in males simple, lacking a distinct apical tubercle / notch; median lobe of aedeagus simple in middle part, mostly asymmetrical apically, lacking distinct dorsal plate; latero-basal fovea of abdominal sternum III rather shallow, forming narrow impression along basal sulcus of sternum. Species included. Notoxus assamensis Krekich-Strassoldo, 1913 , N. bellus Krekich-Strassoldo, 1928 , N. confluens Krekich-Strassoldo, 1928 , N. distortus sp. nov. , N. donckieri Pic, 1908 , N. hilaris sp. nov. , N. indicus Krekich-Strassoldo, 1914 , N. iuvenis sp. nov. , and N. pachodemba sp. nov. Figs. 1–5. 1–2 – Notoxus psammophilus Telnov, 2007 (Cam Ranh Bay): 1 – aedeagus; 2 – paramere in lateral view. 3–5 – N. assamensis Krekich-Strassoldo, 1913 (Renok) : 3 – metatarsus; 4 – aedeagus; 5 – median lobe in lateral view. Scale (0.5 mm): A – Fig. 3; B – Figs. 4, 5; C – Figs. 1, 2. Remarks. A well-known European species, Notoxus trifasciatus Rossi, 1792 , and several related Palaearctic species, ranging eastwards as far as Kazachstan ( CHANDLER et al. 2008 ), share the simple male elytral apices of the N. indicus species-group, but differ by the more conspicuous, rather sharply raised crest of the pronotal horn and the male aedeagal characters: median lobe symmetrical, more or less deeply incised apically, and parameres with small latero-basal projection.
