This species is distinguished from other Nothoodes species by its less impressed elytral striae (more perceptible in anterior half of elytra). It is further separated from other congeners, except N . taprobanae , by its greater PW/HW and lower EW/PW ( Table 5 ). Nothoodes longus is easily separated from N . taprobanae by its larger size, 13 mm or more. FIGURE 31. Nothoodes longus Andrewes, 1940 (A–H: male paratype; I–J: male specimen, India, Dibrugarh). A, I: habitus; B: mentum; C: prosternal process; D: right metepisternum and metacoxa (arrow shows lateral end of metacoxal basal sulcus); E: median lobe of aedeagus, left lateral view; F: same, anterior dorsal view; G: same, ventral view; H: same, posterior dorsal view; J: head and pronotum. Scale lines = 2 mm (Figs A, I); = 0.5 mm (Figs B–C, E–H); = 1 mm (Figs D, J). Description (based on male sex). Habitus . Moderately large specimens (BL: 13.0– 13.6 mm , BW: 5.1–5.2 mm ), with subelongate and convex body ( Figs 31A, I ). Ratios and measurements . See Table 5 . Color and luster . Body black dorsally and ventrally; antennae, palpi, and tarsomeres rufous to rufopiceous. Integument markedly shiny; dorsal surface with greenish hue, ventral surface without iridescence. Punctuation . Dorsal surface without punctures except posterolateral parts of pronotum with large and shallow punctures extending laterally to posterior half; sides of prosternum and proepisternum, abdominal ventrites 1–5 at base and at sides, and ventrite 6 at apex with dense and shallow punctures; meso- and metepisternum, and sides of metasternum with dense and coarse punctures. Head . About half as wide as pronotum ( Table 5 ). Mentum tooth widely rounded (specimens from Tenasserim) to truncate ( paratype ) apically, with distinct paramedial border ( Fig. 31B ). Thorax . Pronotum ( Fig. 31J ) with sides weakly rounded toward posterior angles; maximum width close to posterior angles; laterobasal impressions subtle; base moderately sinuate. Prosternum without or with indistinct median longitudinal sulcus; prosternal process subelongate, bordered subapically, unbordered at base and at apex ( Fig. 31C ). Metepisternum longer than wide (MA/MM: 0.84–0.88), its coadunation with epipleuron short, located anteriorly ( Fig. 31D ). Elytra . Apical sinuation distinct but weak. Basal margin distinct laterally, forming a small denticle at shoulder, decreasing medially and disappearing at level between striae 2 and 3. Granulation in marginal furrow continuous. Parascutellar striola and striae 1–4 rather shallow (shallower than in N . taprobanae ); striola and striae in anterior half punctured. Intervals 1–7 flat, interval 8 moderately convex. Legs . Male mesotibia with a swelling in apical half. Protarsomeres 1–3 of male moderately dilated, with second tarsomere slightly wider than long (W/Lp2: 1.14–1.18). Male genitalia . Median lobe ( Figs 31E, F, G, H ) arcuate laterally, with basal bulb reduced at base, widely open dorsally; angle between basal bulb and shaft obtuse; shaft broadened proximally, narrowed distally; apex short and straight; apical lamella straight, narrow distally, rounded at tip; ostium nearly reaching basal bulb; internal sac with proximal sclerite smaller and distal one larger. Female genitalia . Unknown. Distribution . Oriental region: India ( West Bengal , Assam ), Bangladesh ,? Myanmar . The presence of the species in Myanmar needs confirmation since the record from Tenasserim is based on an earlier determination by the first author. The record from Bihar State , India ( Andrewes 1940 ), refers to N . angustatus (see “Notes”). Bionomics. All known specimens from India and Bangladesh were collected near banks of the river Brahmaputra. Notes . The male from “Pusa” designated by Andrewes (1940: 205) as a paratype of Oodes longus belongs to N . angustatus (see “Type material. Oodes longus Andrewes ” under N . angustatus ). Most likely the female paratype from Bihar is not conspecific with N . longus .
