Diagnosis.
Small, slender species; body largely brownish black, elytra with pale reddish apices and two narrow, transverse bands (
Fig. 82
); eyes rather medium-sized; tempora nearly evenly narrowing posteriad; pronotal horn moderately long, slender, with wider apical and smaller lateral lobules on margins; horn crest distinctly raised, evenly lowering towards horn apex, its lateral margins feebly marked by series of somewhat coarser, distinctly spaced lobules / rugules; punctures in basal half of elytra distinct, moderately dense, their margins smooth. Male characters (Umphang, ZKDC). Elytra nearly simple apically, gland opening inconspicuous; legs simple; abdominal sternum VII moderately flattened postero-medially, nearly simple, its posterior margin slightly angled postero-laterally in ventral view; male tergum VIII forming narrow, arched sclerite, evenly rounded posteriorly, rather finely and sparsely setose; aedeagus as figured (
Fig. 12
).
Variation.

Remarks.
KREKICH- STRASSOLDO (1914) described
Notoxus indicus
from
two specimens
, and later (KREKICH- STRASSOLDO 1928) figured its male characters. The examined
syntypes
bear identical locality label with somewhat dilute handwritten data ‘Tavoy’ [currently Dawei; not Java, see comments by
TELNOV (2007)
in the differential diagnosis of
N. ales
Telnov, 2007
], which is the capital of the
Tanintharyi Region
in southern
Myanmar
. The male
syntype
is dissected, probably by Krekich-Strassoldo (see above), and the aedeagus is probably mounted in
Canada
balsam and stored separately in special wooden boxes for slides in the NHMW. However, it is difficult to find there, because the specimen lacks any slide number. The additionally examined specimen originates from southwestern
Thailand
and fully agrees with the type.
