TYPE MATERIAL. • Lectotype by present designation: ♀, with labels and data: yellow white, handwritten in black ink “ lata Putz. Rangoon (Chd.) ” / grey, handwritten in black ink and black printed “ Clivina lata Putz dét. J Putzeys ” / white, handwritten in black ink and black printed “ Clivina lata Putz. Cotype = castanea Westw. H.E. Andrewes det. 1928” / grey, black printed, black framed “Soc. Ent. Belg. Coll. Putzeys ” / white red printed, black framed “ Syntype ” ( Fig. 12 ) ( RBINS) .

REMARKS. The following parts are missing in the lectotype: Left antennae from antennomere three onwards, right front leg with the four terminal tarsomeres, right hind leg with the three terminal tarsomeres. Pronotum, abdomen and hind legs are glued. The right elytron shows a hole where the original pin was inserted (RBINS).

PUTZEYS (1866: 131) based his description on four specimens from “Indes orientales (Rangoon)”. Only one specimen, indicated as “ Syntype ”, was located (RBINS). Consequently, it has been designated as lectotype for reasons of stability. The specimen mentioned in ANDREWES (1929) as type to be located in MNHN in the Mr. René Oberthür Collection could not be located. Apersonal check demonstrated the specimen from Rangoon deposited under “ C. lata ” in the Oberthür collection is a member of the Clivina tranquebarica- species group.

NOTES ON THE SYNONYMIZATION OF CLIVINA KHASEI JEDLIČKA, 1964 . JEDLIČKA (1964) based his description on three specimens, all available for study. The holotype and one paratype is deposited in the NHMB, the second paratype in the Collection K. Kult ( CADW). The differences observed between the original description and the three type specimens are listed in Tab. 1 . Investigation revealed the three specimens are not conspecific but consist of two species. The female holotype represents a specimen of Clivina lata . Consequently, the name Clivina khasei Jedlička, 1964 is a new synonym of C. lata Putzeys, 1866 . The data of the holotype have been used under additional material of C. lata . The two paratypes (one male and one female) represent new paratype material of Clivina schillhammeri sp. nov.

DIAGNOSIS. A big and broad sized species with smooth lateral margin of the pronotum and elytron, and isodiametric reticulation on all intervals of the elytron. Distinguished from the other species with isodiametric reticulation on all intervals of the elytron by the shape of the lobe of the mentum which is regularly trapezoid with a convex anterior margin.

REDESCRIPTION. Measurements. Lectotype: Body length 9.37 mm, width 2.87 mm; ratio length/width of pronotum 0.88; ratio length/width of elytra 1.85. Other material: Body length 8.66–10.1 mm (: = 9.43 mm *), width 2.60-2.99 mm (: = 2.84 mm *), ratiolength/width of pronotum 0.87–0.91 (: = 0.9*), ratiolength/widthofelytra 1.85–1.91 (: = 1.87*); (*n = 10).

Colour: Head glossy, pronotum semi-glossy, elytron opaque. Piceous. Intermediate and hind leg dark fuscous, antenna and tarsomere fuscous.

Head: Athird narrower than pronotum. Clypeus slightly excised anteriorly; wing as protruding as clypeus, slightly hollowed out concavely, separated from clypeus by distinct notch; supraantennal plate convex; clypeus, and supraantennal plate reflexed margined, wing indistinctly margined. Supraantennal plate extended up to mid-eye level, separated from wing by obtuse notch. Clypeus transverse, slightly convex, separated from frons by moderately deep furrow. Frons moderately convex, with pore at middle, with blunt lateral carina at posterior eyelevel. Clypeus and frons smooth, separated from wing and supraantennal plate by deep moderately wide furrow continuing posteriorly as wide supra-orbital furrow with two supraorbital setigerous punctures at posterior eye level. Neck constriction developed as small step, with row of small punctures. Eye hemispherical projecting. Gena short. Antenna just reaching posterior seta of pronotum, antennomeres four to ten elongate (ratio L/W around 2.04). Labrum with obtuse angle at middle, with isodiametric reticulation, seven setose. Mentum ( Fig. 39 ) with indistinct isodiametrically reticulated surface, with lobe flattened, shape of lobe like a regular trapezium with convex anterior margin and obtuse anterior angle, carinate laterally and anteriorly, with indistinct carina at middle, epilobe narrow, median tooth wide, slightly less protruding anteriorly as lobe, obtusely angled anteriorly.

Pronotum ( Fig. 59 ): Disk distinctly convex in lateral and frontal view. Slightly wider as long. Reflexed lateral margin smooth, distinctly convex, widest in posterior third; anterior angle obtusely rounded off, slightly projecting; posterior angle marked by distinct sharp tooth. Lateral channel reticulated. Median line narrow, line-like; narrower anteriorly, anterior transverse line striate-punctate, joining median line, just joining basal constriction. Surface with few transverse wrinkles, with band of isodiametric reticulation towards lateral channel, with isodiametric reticulation in basal third.

Elytron: Disk flattened in anterior half in lateral view, convex on frontal view. Nearly twice as long as wide, slightly dilated in apical half with maximum width behind middle. Reflexed lateral margin smooth. Scutellar striole distinct; setigerous tubercle at base of first stria, with small but distinct tubercle at base of third interval. Basal declivity steep. Striae moderately deep, punctuate-striate, one to three free at base, four to seven joining at humerus, one joining with seven at apex, two ending free at apex, three and four, and five and six joining apically. Intervals moderately convex, eight with short carina at humerus and longer one apically. Third interval with four setigerous punctures, first situated at second stria near base, the other three approaching third stria. Surface of all intervals opaque, completely covered with isodiametric reticulation.

Hind wings: Fully developed.

Lower surface: Proepisternum covered completely with distinct isodiametric reticulation, medially with short longitudinal coriaceate-like structures, laterally with few fine transverse wrinkles ( Fig. 77 ). Terminal sternite of abdomen apically developed as deep narrow transverse fold.

Legs: Legs covered with indistinct reticulation. Protibia with three spines of moderate length, not sulcate dorsally, movable spur regularly arcuate.

Male genitalia ( Fig. 86 ): Median lobe relatively short, stout, thickened in apical half, nearly not arcuate in apical half, ventral rim indistinct, apex developed as elongated slender somewhat twisted spatula. Endophallus densely folded, with group of seven spines laterally. Ventral paramere distinctly widened, arcuate in its whole length, lateral apophysis flap like elongated, apex short and tapered, with one long and three short setae. Dorsal paramere regularly arcuate, strikingly slender in apical half, at apex with two long and two short setae.

Female coxostylus and laterotergite ( Fig. 106 ): Coxostylus moderately broadened at base, apex slightly hooked, dorsally with eleven long and slender and two elongated and moderately robust nematiform setae in basal two thirds, ventrally with numerous smaller setae. Laterotergite with six long and three small setae basally and one isolated seta towards coxostylus.

Variation: Variation was observed in the margin of the clypeus which is double bordered in the holotype and a few of the other specimens but just reflexed margined in the other material. On the pronotum, the reticulation covers nearly two thirds of the disk in some of the material. In some specimens, striae three and four do not completely join at apex.

DISTRIBUTION. Known from Myanmar (Rangoon), Cambodia, Bhutan, Nepal, and North East India.
