( Fig. 9 ) Type material. Holotype : W MALAYSIA , ♀ , Kelantan , road between Kampong Raja and Gua Musang (Ladang Pandrak) , 1400–1700 m , 1.–28.IV.2006 , leg. P. Čechovský , SMNS . Description. Shape and colour pattern of pronotum and elytra see Fig. 9 . Head, pronotum, and scutellum brown; elytron brown in the posterior half and dark in the anterior half, near shoulders with a light spot; ventral side of body brown. Head with distinctly coarser and denser punctation than on pronotum; antenna bicoloured with antennomeres 1–2 brown and antennomeres 3–11 dark. Pronotum with fine punctures, distance between punctures 2–8 times longer than puncture diameter, surface between punctures shining; anterior margin medially unbordered, basal margin unbordered. Elytron with 8 somewhat irregular rows of punctures without striae, third row with approximately 30 punctures; intervals slightly convex, with a few scattered punctures, surface between punctures shining; lateral margin visible from dorsal nearly on its entire length. Punctures on metaventrite and abdominal ventrites slightly coarser laterally than medially. Aedeagus unknown, only female available. Body length 3.5 mm . Diagnosis. Spiloscapha cechovskyi sp. n. can be recognized by its body shape, elongate pronotum, slightly convex elytral intervals, and dorsal colour pattern. Its dorsal colour pattern is similar to S. bipunctata Schawaller, 1997 from Indochina and Yunnan, but this species (figured in Schawaller 1997 , infraspecific variation see also Fig. 7 herein) is larger (4.0– 4.3 mm ) and higher convex, the pronotum is broader, the elytral intervals are flat, and the rows of punctures on the elytra are finer. S. nigrofasciata Gebien, 1925 (figured in Schawaller 1997 ), also known from W Malaysia , has a similar small body size, but the pronotum is broader, the head is finely punctured as on pronotum, the elytral intervals are flat, the rows of punctures on the elytra are finer, and the dorsal colour pattern is different. Etymology. Named in honor of Petr Čechovský, Czech coleopterologist in Brno, specialist of Elateridae and collector of the holotype .
