Differential diagnosis.
Length (♂). 7.0 mm.
Laemoglyptus ater godawariensis
ssp. nov.
differs from the nominotypical subspecies by the entirely orange pronotum, the rounded apices of the divided portions of the dorsal part of the aedeagus (roundly truncate in
L. ater ater
) and the straight apex of the fused parameres (apically curved ventrad in
L. ater ater
) (cf.
Fig. 19
and
KAZANTSEV 2009
). Maybe in the future, when more specimens from different regions will be at the disposal, some of these characters will be found to be variable.
Etymology.
Named according to the
type
locality.
Distribution.
Nepal
: Central Region.
