Type material. Syntype of Lamellipalpodes annandalei , 1 male, “ INDIA: Bengal” ( BMNH).

Additional material. NEPAL: Gorkha, Dorandi Khola, 27. – 30.v.1992, leg. J. Moravec ( NHMB). INDIA, Kashmir: Jammu, 600m, 1.vii.1980, W. Wittmer ( NHMB).

Diagnosis. Similar to L. lineatus (Pic, 1921) , from which it differs in basal 1/5 of elytra light brown, the remainder dark brown, elytra medially slightly widened (while elytral margins in L. lineatus twice wider), posterior angles of pronotum acute, posterior pronotal margin 1.3x longer than anterior one, male genitalia robust, parameral apices rounded, distance between parameral apices as wide as a quarter of parameral width.

Redescription. Body sometimes pubescent. Head, antennomeres 1–2, pronotum, basal 1/5 – ¼ of elytra, and legs yellow, sometimes whole antennae brown, posterior 4/5–3/4 of elytra dark brown. Distance between eyes almost twice longer than eye diameter. Terminal palpomeres of maxillary and labial palpi 8–10x longer than penultimate palpomeres. Mandibles slightly arcuate, as long as eye diameter. Antennae filiform, reaching to elytral humeri, antennomeres distinctly separated, length of antennomeres 3–11 decreasing distally. Pronotum 1.6x wider than long, posterior angles triangular. Each elytron with 3–4 slightly developed costae, 3.2–3.5x longer than wide at humeri ( Fig. 1 View FIGURES 1 – 9 , 19 View FIGURES 19 – 26 ). Terminal abdominal tergum slightly emarginate distally, terminal and penultimate terga separated by circular to oval opening, proximal projection of penultimate tergum at least as long as penultimate tergum ( Fig. 28 View FIGURES 27 – 42. 27 ). Phallus as long as 4/5 of parameres, parameral apices laterally rounded ( Fig. 43–44 View FIGURES 43 – 60 ), each paramera provided with single internal thorn, parameral apices separated by quarter of paramera width, base of phallus with 2 strong angular projections, phallobase U-shaped. Body length: 4.0– 6.25 mm, humeral width: 2.1–2.5 mm.
