Oedichirus theryi View in CoL nov. sp. ( Figs 11)
Material studied: ♀ Holotype: N. C. St 207, Menooze 1020m, 18.X.84, Tellier - Boucher ♀ HOLOTYPE Oedichirus theryi des. 2017 G. de Rougemont [ MNHN].
Description: length: ca. 10 mm; length of fore-body: 4; length of head: 1.02; breadth of head: 1.16; length of antenna: 2.8; length of pronotum: 1.5; breadth of pronotum: 1.2; length of elytron: 1.2; breadth of elytra: 1.2. Body black, palpi, antennae and legs testaceous. Head densely micro-reticulate, the surface sericeous; pronotum glossy, but with very faint traces of microsculpture in parts; abdominal tergites entirely densely micro-striate. Pubescence pale, rather short, sparse, almost entirely rubbed off on abdomen. Habitus: Fig. 11h.
Head only slightly transverse; eyes much shorter than temples; temples rounded, rather strongly contracted to base; post-ocular border obsolescent, indistinct; puncturation very sparse and irregular, composed of a few scattered simple, shallow round punctures. Pronotum strongly elongate, the sides gently rounded from anterior angles to base; lateral margin entirely bordered; puncturation coarse, dense and irregular, leaving a median impunctate area in posterior third. Elytra long, as long as broad, humeral angles completely obsolete, the sides evenly rounded from base to posterior angles without forming an angle; puncturation coarse and dense, near suture coarser than that of pronotum, the interstices mostly narrower than diameter of punctures. Keels and grooves of anterior margins of abdominal tergites obsolescent; puncturation coarse and dense, irregular, leaving gaps at centre near posterior margins of tergites IV-VII.
Female: sternite IX: Fig. 11vp (vulvar plate detached)
This species is very similar to O. kanak nov.sp., but its head is narrower and the gonocoxal plate of the female ninth sternite different.
