In similar looking genera, Cassidoloma Kolbe and Discoloma Erichson, anterior prosternal margin is always deeply emarginate and at least anterior portion of a head is always visible. Sundaloma gen. nov. also possesses broadened and flattened legs (which is also a unique feature among discolomatids), and broad upturned lateral elytral margins.</p><p>Description.</p><p>Body elongate, broadly oval with sides subparallel (Figs 1 A, 2 A), dorsally distinctly spherical, convex (Fig. 1 B, C). Dorsal body surface appearing glabrous (Figs 1 A, 2 A), only lateral margins of pronotum and elytra with very short, sparce hairs (Fig. 2 D).</p><p>Head deeply retracted into prothorax and concealed from above by pronotum (Figs 1 B, 2 A – C). Eyes small, elliptical, coarsely faceted (Fig. 2 C), without interfacetal setae. Ventral antennal grooves very deep, extending well beyond posterior margin of eyes (Fig. 2 C). Antennae 9 - segmented with a 1 - segmented club (Fig. 2 C). Mandibles bidentate apically. Maxilla (Fig. 2 C) with semicircular cardo, stipes with well visible sutures between palpifer, basistipes and mediostipes. Maxillary palp with four palpomeres (Fig. 2 C); first very small, reduced; second large, inflated; third reduced, ring-like; apical one somewhat conical. Submentum transverse (Fig. 2 C); mentum sub-quadrate, with median portion weakly elevated forming a sub-triangular shape; prementum with anterior margin broadly rounded; ligula setose, with apical margin broadly rounded; labial insertions placed basally, separated by a narrow carina. Labial palp with three palpomeres (Fig. 2 C); first very small, reduced, ring-like; second large, inflated; apical one somewhat rectangular.</p><p>Prothorax. Pronotum transverse, widest at the base (Figs 1 A, 2 A); forming a broadly rounded, hemi-circular shield, covering head from above. Lateral margins flattened and broadly explanate, with a broad lateral bead posterior margin weakly sinuate. Lateral pronotal carinae present, complete along lateral margins, starting from the level of anterior gland openings (Fig. 2 A). Posterior margin with border present in lateral parts only. Anterior margin not bordered. Posterior angles distinctly acute (Fig. 2 D); pronotal disc simple. Lateral pronotal margins with two pairs of glandular pores (Fig. 2 B, D) at ¼ and ¾ of the pronotal length, both well visible from above. Notosternal sutures absent; notosternal ridge indistinct (Fig. 2 B). Margins of the occipital foramen with distinct lateral ridges. Prosternum distinctly longer than procoxal cavity, flat (Fig. 2 B); anterior prosternal margin broadly arcuate posteriorly; surface smooth except lateral portions covered with coarse punctae. Prosternal process broad, broader than visible procoxal diameter, apex broadly laterally expanded (Fig. 2 B), posteriorly closing procoxal cavity; surface flat with apex truncate, without lateral carinae. Procoxal cavities circular, widely separated, externally closed. Procoxae with long concealed lateral extensions; trochantins concealed. Hypomeron smooth.</p><p>Pterothorax. Scutellar shield large, triangular and apically acute (Fig. 2 A). Elytra with disc irregularly punctate with puncta od double size (Fig. 2 A, I), lateral edge with six glandular pores (Fig. 2 A, F, G), four anterior glandular openings more or less visible from above, two distal placed on the margin of elytra, not visible from above. Lateral margins of elytra broadly explanate, well visible throughout from above (Figs 1 A, 2 A), with broad lateral bead, upturned in frontal view (Fig. 1 C); humeral corner with oblique indentation to receive posterior corners of pronotum (Fig. 2 D). Epipleura very broad (Fig. 2 B), complete, inner margin with complete carina fading before base of elytra. Mesoventrite transverse, anterior portion of mesoventrite on much lower level than mesoventral junction. Externally visible anterior mesoventral margin anteriorly broadly rounded, forming a transverse fold to accommodate posterior margin of prosternal process (Fig. 2 B), anterior margin bordered; mesoventral process apically truncate. Mesocoxal cavities circular, laterally closed. Meso-metaventral suture visible, junction forming slightly posteriorly rounded line (Fig. 2 B). Metaventrite flat, without discrimen, with mesocoxal marginal lines separate medially, almost complete laterally (Fig. 2 B), posterior margin between mesocoxae slightly rounded. Metacoxae widely separated, strongly transverse but mostly concealed by metaventrite and appearing globular. Hind wings well-developed.</p><p>Legs with trochanters large, elongate, narrowly subtriangular (Fig. 2 B); femora distinctly flattened, together with trochanter forming a broad sub-oval outline; tibiae broad, flattened, with patches of stiff and long bristles in apical parts, tibial spurs absent; tarsal formula 3-3 - 3 (Fig. 2 E); tarsomeres 1 and 2 with small rounded ventral lobe; pretarsal claws appendiculate; empodium bisetose (Fig. 2 E).</p><p>Abdomen with five free ventrites (Figs 2 B, 3 A); ventrite 1 shorter than ventrites 2–4 combined; intercoxal process slightly emargined anteriorly. Ventrite 1 with metacoxal marginal lines present, medially separated, laterally incomplete (Fig. 2 A, I). Posterior margin of ventrite 5 rounded. Sternite VIII divided into two lateral sclerotized lamellae (Fig. 3 B). Tergite VIII (pygidium) heavily sclerotized (Figs 3 B), with median groove forming an interlocking mechanism with elytra (Fig. 2 A), slightly bent downwards and visible ventrally, appearing as narrow, false ventrite 6 (Fig. 2 B).</p><p>Female terminalia and genitalia. Paraprocts reduced, membranous; proctiger narrow, in form of lightly sclerotized arc (Fig. 3 D); coxites elongate, relatively broad, with sides sub-parallel, styli absent (Fig. 3 D). Bursa copulatrix membranous (Fig. 3 E), sperm duct long, narrow, distinctly coiled, originating apically (Fig. 3 C); spermatheca slightly coiled, sclerotized (Fig. 3 C).</p><p>Male not studied.</p><p>Etymology.</p><p>The generic name is a composition derived from Sunda Islands, to which Sumatra belongs (type locality of the new species), and suffix - loma, frequently used in Discolomatidae in generic names (e. g. Cassidoloma, Discoloma). Gender is neuter.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/35DEAA4E337B53BB8A6702537C990AF3	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
