Antennomeres I–IV lustrous with sparse, short, erected setae on edges, V–XI dull with slightly rugose surface covered with short adpressed setae and with longer erected setae on edges. Length ratio of antennomeres I–XI as 9: 4: 3: 4: 5: 4.5: 4.5: 4: 4: 4.5: 7, width ratio as 6.5: 4.5: 4: 5: 8: 8: 7: 6: 5.5: 4: 3.</p><p>Pronotum convex, transverse, 2.13 as wide as long, about as wide as elytra on base, widest in middle. Anterior margin slightly convex in middle, lateral margins evenly rounded, posterior margin almost straight near lateral angles, in middle of pronotal base distinctly protruded opposite scutellum. Surface lustrous, sparsely covered with very small punctures (visible only at 20x magnification) and with denser microscopic punctures in interstices between them.

Spermatheca U-shaped with sharp apex (Fig. 20).</p><p>Variability. One male and two females have tibiae completely black. Female from Laos has posterior part of head with more developed black pattern (frons and vertex black with transverse brown spot in middle), pygidium with spot near apex black and blurred blackish strokes on each sides of abdominal ventrites.</p><p>Differential diagnosis. This new species belongs to a group of species from Indochina and India characterized by a pronotum with four black spots and elytra with black suture, lateral margins, and four black spots. This group includes Aetheomorpha weigeli Medvedev, 2010, A. bilobata Wang &amp; Zhou, 2012 from China (Yunnan), A. quatuordecimpunctata (Jacoby, 1895) from South India, and possibly also A. decemnotata (Jacoby, 1892), which is distributed across China (Yunnan), Myanmar, Vietnam, Laos and Thailand.</p><p>With its large head and triangular apex of the aedeagus, Aetheomorpha prosvirovi sp. nov. is most similar to A. weigeli . These two species can be distinguished as follows. Aetheomorpha prosvirovi sp. nov. (Fig. 1): body smaller (4.2–4.9 mm); black pattern on head more developed; spots on pronotum larger, intermediate ones not connected; third spot on elytra usually connecting with lateral black edging; middle antennomeres more transverse (antennomeres V–VIII 1.5–1.8 times as wide as long); underside of aedeagus with a low, wide longitudinal ridge, in lateral view apex strongly bent ventrally; female pygidium not incised at the apex. Distribution: Norhern Thailand (Chiang Mai), Laos (Vientiane).</p><p>Aetheomorpha weigeli (Fig. 2): body larger (5.1–5.9 mm); black pattern on head less developed; spots on pronotum smaller, intermediate two sometimes connected, forming a large oblong spot; third spot on elytra not connected to the lateral black edge; middle antennomeres less transverse (antennomeres V–VIII approximately as wide as long); underside of aedeagus with a high, sharp ridge medially, in lateral view apex slightly bent ventrally (Fig. 4); female pygidium slightly incised at the apex (Fig. 6); spermathecal with basal and apical parts almost parallel (Fig. 21). Distribution: China (Yunnan), Northern Thailand (Mae Hong Son).</p><p>Aetheomorpha bilobata can be easily distinguished from other species in this group by its smaller head and slightly elongated, broad, and feebly bilobed apex of aedeagus. Some specimens of A. decemnotata have four obscure spots on the pronotum, but this species differs in shape of aedeagus with a narrower apex and an underside without ridge. Aetheomorpha quatuordecimpunctata (Jacoby, 1895) from South India can be distinguished by its strongly transverse middle antennomeres, completely black head, and elytra lacking black lateral margins and a black suture. Its aedeagus has a narrower triangular apex, and the underside is evenly convex without any depression or ridge. In lateral view, the apex of the aedeagus is only very slightly bent ventrally.</p><p>Etymology. The new species is named in honor of A.S. Prosvirov, a specialist in Elateridae, who collected the majority of the type series.</p><p>Distribution. Thailand, Laos.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/3D6F384EFFD6FF9685E6A0C2FDBAFBBD	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.

Antennomeres I–III lustrous with sparse, short, erected setae on inner edge, IV–XI dull with slightly rugose surface covered with short adpressed setae and with two or three longer erected setae on anterior angles. Length ratio of antennomeres I–XI as 11: 5: 4: 9: 9: 9: 9: 9: 8.5: 8: 13, width ratio as 6: 5: 3.5: 8: 9: 9: 8: 7: 8: 7: 6.5. Penultimate maxillary palpomere slightly wider and about 1.4 times longer than next one, apical palpomere with truncated apex.</p><p>Pronotum convex, transverse, 1.75 as wide as long, about as wide as elytra on base, widest at anterior third. Anterior margin slightly convex in middle, lateral margins rounded, posterior margin almost straight near lateral angles, in middle of pronotal base distinctly protruded opposite scutellum.

Pygidium of female with slightly truncated apex, so its posterior margin looks almost straight with very faint, almost imperceptible notch in middle. Spermatheca with long frizzy ductus ending by rather large spindle (Fig. 22). Length of spermatheca (excluding ductus) 0.4 mm.</p><p>Variability. Coloration of female similar as in holotype but metepisterna slightly darkened.</p><p>Differential diagnosis. Smaragdina bienkowskii sp. nov. belongs to the S. sikkimia species group (which also includes S. constrictifrons, S. sikkimia and S. vietnamica). This group is characterized by a yellowish-brown to brown dorsum, large eyes, and a narrow frons, noticeably narrower than the transverse diameter of the eye in males and approximately equal in females, as well as a finger-shaped apical process of the aedeagus. Smaragdina sikkimia has an aedeagus very similar to that of S. bienkowskii sp. nov., but it differs in having a black or darkened ventral side and tarsi. Additionally, males of S. sikkimia have a narrower frons (0.60-0.65 as wide as transverse diameter of eye, compared to 0.77 in S. bienkowskii sp. nov.). The aedeagus of S. sikkimia is depressed below the gonopore, therefore, in lateral view, it appears thin and sinuous in its preapical part (Fig. 18). Females of S. sikkimia differ in the shape of spermatheca (Fig. 23). In the identification keys for Oriental Smaragdina by Medvedev (2010) and Warchałowski (2012), S. bienkowskii sp. nov. would be placed near S. constrictifrons . However, S. constrictifrons differs from S. bienkowskii sp. nov. by having an apical process of the aedeagus that is toothed on each side and not emarginated on the apex. All species in the S. sikkimia species group can be identified using the key provided below.</p><p>Smaragdina diversiceps (Pic, 1941) and S. fulvitarsis Medvedev, 1992 belong to another large Smaragdina species complex, characterized by a with wide frons (significantly wider than transverse diameter of the eye, even in males, and especially in female), but they have somewhat similar shapes of aedeagus (see the drawings in Medvedev 2010a). However, both these species are smaller in size ( S. bienkowskii sp. nov.: 6.3–6.5 mm, S. diversiceps: 4.1–6.1 mm, S. fulvitarsis: 4.0–4.7) and also differ from S. bienkowskii sp. nov. in couloration: S. diversiceps has a black head, underside and humeral spot on elytra, and S. fulvitarsis has a darkened metasternum.</p><p>Due to their narrow frons, Smaragdina oculata Medvedev, 1988 and S. megalayana Medvedev &amp; Kantner, 2002, are also externally similar to S. bienkowskii sp. nov. However, they differ in the shape of the aedeagus, which has a triangular apex with a pointed tip. Smaragdina tamdaoana Medvedev, 2010, known only from females and also having brown upperside, is easily distinguished from S. bienkowskii sp. nov. by its very wide frons, which is more than twice as wide as the transverse diameter of the eye.</p><p>Etymology. The new species is dedicated to Andrzej O. Bieńkowski, well known specialist in Chrysomelidae .</p><p>Distribution.
