Bradymerus triplehorni Grimm (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), New Species from West Malaysia Author Grimm, Roland text The Coleopterists Bulletin 2015 mo 14 2015-12-18 69 78 79 journal article 10.1649/0010-065X-69.mo4.78 1938-4394 4911618 Bradymerus triplehorni Grimm , new species ( Figs. 1 – 2 ) Description. Holotype male ( Fig. 1 ). Oblong, ferruginous (probably teneral specimen), length 6.0 mm, width 2.4 mm . Genae not broader than eyes. Frons with deep supraorbital furrows, without supraorbital keels. Last 5 antennomeres forming a club. Pronotum wider than long, length/ width ratio 0.81; disc strongly convex transversely, moderately convex longitudinally, with medial impression, rough and partly confluent punctation, interspersed with sharp, sometimes keeled granules, before base punctures more separate; middle of base with nearly smooth depression; anterior angles acute, protruding; lateral margins with distinct crenulation. Elytra strongly convex transversely; puncture rows without striae, borders of deeply impressed punctures bearing 2 microgranules; all intervals with a row of distinct granules or nodules. Tibiae externally without keels, but densely denticulate or sharply granulate, otherwise coarsely, longitudinally punctured; anterior tibiae without tooth. Aedeagus as in Fig. 2 . Paratype Female. Slightly larger, length 6.5 mm , width 2.6 mm , and darker, black; otherwise conforming with holotype . Diagnosis. Bradymerus triplehorni superficially resembles Bradymerus kinabalicus Schawaller ( Schawaller 2006 : fig. 45) in the general body characters, especially in the surface character of the pronotum and elytra. In B. kinabalicus , the last three antennomeres form a club, the male protibiae are equipped with a tooth, the pronotum is broader, the elytra are less convex transversely, somewhat flattened dorsally, the tibiae are smooth, and the shape of aedeagus is distinctly different (compare Fig. 2 with Schawaller 2006 : fig. 110). Type Material. Holotype male ( NME ) and paratype female ( CRG ): West Malaysia , Kelantan , 70 km NW of Gua Musang , Mt. Chamah , 1900 m , Kampong Perias, 17.IV. – 9.V.2014 , P. Čechovský lgt. Etymology. The author takes pleasure in naming this species in honor of Charles A. Triplehorn for his valuable contributions to the knowledge of the family Tenebrionidae .
