6. Anipocregyes kawakamii Yamasako & Makihara , sp. nov.

(Figs 7–10, 14–15, 48–54)

Type locality. Indonesia, Kalimantan Timur, Bukit Soeharto.

Type series. Holotype (MZB; Figs 7–8, 14, 48–54): ♂, " Bukit Soeharto / Kalimantan Timur / Indonesia / 21.ix.1998 / H. Makihara leg.", " LIGHT TRAP / 60–45". Paratypes : 1♀ ( MZB), same locality and collector as the holotype, 9. XI, 1998 ; 1♀ ( FFPRI; Figs 9–10, 15), same data, but 28. IX, 1998 ; 1♀ ( FFPRI), same data, but 16–22. II, 1999 ; 1♂ ( FFPRI), same data, but 5. IV, 1999.

Diagnosis. This species is similar to A. multifasciculatus , but different from the latter in the black elytra with white pubescence along suture and apical half.

Description. Male (Figs 7–8, 14; n = 2): LB = 5.8–6.1 mm, WB = 2.4–2.5 mm.

Body black except for antenna and legs which are reddish dark brown. Head, pronotum, elytra, and femora with sparse long suberect pearl white setae; inferior side of antenna and tibiae with dense same setae. Head with white pubescence mottled with light brown pubescence. Antennal scape and pedicel provided with white and light brown pubescence; antennomeres 3–11 with light brown pubescence on each basal part, and the reminders with brown pubescence. Pronotum with disk clothed with same pubescence as head; latero-dorsal side with black longitudinal vitta obliquely extended toward medially along basal margin. Elytra with light brown pubescence except wide part along suture and apical 1/3 which are clothed with white pubescence, scattered with several small tufts of black short setae throughout. Dominant part of ventral surface and legs with light brown and white pubescence.

Eye with LL/WL = 1.2–1.3, LL/LG = 1.3. Antenna 1.2–1.3 times as long as body; relative length of each segment as follows: 1.5: 0.3–0.4: 1.6: 1.3: 1.0: 0.8–0.9: 0.8: 0.7: 0.6–0.7: 0.6: 0.5. Pronotum with LP/WP = 0.8, LP/LB = 0.3, WP/WEH = 0.8, provided with coarse punctures which are distinct, dense in lateral and laterodorsal side, but sparse and indistinct in disk; disk with three distinct small tubercles on middle; lateral side with small distinct dull projection near apical margin. Elytra with LE/WEH = 1.6, LE/LB = 0.7, LE/LP = 2.6–2.7; disk with longitudinal obtuse swelling behind base near each middle, coarse punctures which are distinct, relatively dense in basal part, then sparser, reduced apically and indistinct near roundly truncate apex, without distinct granules on base.

Male genitalia ( Figs 48–54 ; n = 1): tegmen gently curved in lateral view. Paramere in dorsal view 1/4 of the length of tegmen, distinctly constricted in base, gently curved in apical 2/3; ventral side gently concave in base, distinctly constricted at basal 1/3, with obtuse inwardly directed cylindroid projection behind base. Median lobe gently curved in lateral view; median strut disjunct near middle; ventral plate with apex roundly pointed. Endophallus subequal to the twice length of median lobe; PB relatively short; APH rudimental, elongate, with ED on dorsal side of proximal part. MSp comparatively dense and distributed in proximal 2/3 of MT+CT. LSp distributed in distal 1/3 of MT+CT in latero-dorsal side. SSp densely covered entire part of PB.

Female (Figs 9–10, 15; n = 4): LB = 5.4–6.8 mm, WB = 2.2–2.9. Similar to male, but relatively rotund. Antenna 1.1–1.2 times as long as body; relative length of each segment as follows: 1.5–1.6: 0.3–0.4: 1.6–1.7: 1.3: 1.0–1.1: 0.8–0.9: 0.7–0.8: 0.6–0.7: 0.6–0.7: 0.5–0.6: 0.4–0.5.

Etymology. The name of this new species is dedicated to Mr. Takao Kawakami, former ambassador of Japan to Indonesia, who generously supported the JICA research project and thus enabled the investigation of the entomological fauna in the region concerned.

Distribution. Borneo.
