A cybertaxonomic revision of the new dung beetle tribe Parachoriini (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) and its phylogenetic assessment using molecular and morphological data Author Tarasov, Sergei text Zootaxa 2017 2017-10-04 4329 2 101 149 journal article 31902 10.11646/zootaxa.4329.2.1 7e33ec7d-211b-4042-8d07-344364ee805d 1175-5326 1001915 8226E27D-E3A9-481A-B51B-558643Bbb03A Parachorius longipenis Tarasov new species ( Figs. 15 , 26D ) urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:9BE1948F-A942-492A-A07A-278B88EE090D Type locality . Hoa Binh, Vietnam. Etymology. The name of this species derives from the Latin words "longus" and "penis" reflecting the fact that this species has a relatively elongated penis in comparison to the similar species P. solodovnikovi . Distribution. The species is known from Vietnam , Laos , and Thailand . It is abundant in collections compared to other species of Parachorius and therefore, likely widespread in Indochina. Diagnosis. This species is most similar to P. nudus , P. solodovnikovi , and P. peninsularis . From them and all other Parachorius , it can be separated by (1) protibia with first tooth spatulate, bent downward and notably larger than second tooth, (2) first tooth also looks bifurcated as it merged with denticles located between first and second teeth, (3) aedeagal parameres elongate with horn-like upper lobes dorsally. Description. Body. Body black, length 3.8–5.6 mm . Elytra uniformly colored. Head. Clypeus with two teeth, outer margin of each tooth distinctly notched basally. Pronotum. Pronotum rounded laterally. Frontal angles rounded. Disc covered with punctures separated by 0.3– 1.0 puncture diameter(s). Pronotum in anterior-posterior direction notably shorter than elytra. Elytra. Elytra covered with sparse punctures. Wings. Wings normally developed. Legs. Profemora with almost straight or sinuate anterior margin. Protibia apical spur reaching protarsomere 2. First tooth notably modified in males, spatulate, bent downward and notably larger than second tooth, with which it is almost merged; first tooth may look bifurcate because it is merged with denticles located between first and second teeth. Metafemoral posterior margin not serrate, it varies from simple to dilate with produced angle in basal half of metafemur. Metatibia produced in small angle apically, slightly sinuate, inner margin denticulate with relatively small teeth. Metasternum. Transverse basal ridge of metasternum reduced and extremely short. Aedeagus. Parameres symmetrical, with horn-like upper lobes dorsally. Holotype . Male ( Fig. 15F ). Profemur with sinuate anterior margin. First tooth bifurcate. Metafemoral posterior margin dilated.
