Head globular, deeply retracted in pronotum. Eyes oval, in lateral view below level of rostral base in dorsal view eye contours not protruding outside head contour. Ocular lobes weakly pronounced, set with teeth ( S. semai, S. bispinosus) or unarmed. Rostrum bowed, shorter than pronotum or subequal in length ( S. pendleburyi), scrobes lateral, oblique. Antenna funicle with 7 antennomeres, with second antennomere partly hidden in first. Following ones gradually enlarging, thus seventh antennomere about as wide as first. Club egg-shaped to oval. Body including head, rostrum, legs and antennal scape with elongate-clubbed scales, 4–5 times or longer than wide. Thoracic venter anterior of procoxae with remarkable protuberance ( S. semai, S. bispinosus) or without. Anterior margin of prothoracic venter simply rounded, lacking any emargination or prosternal rostral canal. Elytra elongate, cylindrical with elytral declivity steep, and pronounced humeri, hind wings present ( S. semai, S. bispinosus and S. geiseri) or without ( S. lyali, S. pendleburyi). Scutellum small and pentagonal. Elytral base wider than posterior margin of pronotum. Elytra with ten punctate striae, stria 10 shortened, a little shorter than epipleura. Inner surfaces of elytra at apex without stridulatory ridges. Profemora dentate with sharp teeth or a blunt swelling ( S. semai, S. bispinosus and S. lyali) or unarmed ( S. geiseri, S. pendleburyi).

Penis body with ventral and lateral sides well sclerotized, dorsal surface membranous, with internal sclerites. Tegmen ring with strong apodeme and feebly sclerotized parameroid lobes (except S. pendleburyi).</p><p>Derivation of name: The generic name is a combination of Latin for the apparent long scales or setae (seti -) and the morphologically close genus Zembrus; gender is male.</p><p>Diagnosis</p><p>Setizembrus displays characters originally indicated by Morimoto (1962a, b) and later adapted by Germann &amp; Grebennikov (2020) and Germann (2021) as diagnostic for Cotasteromimina, namely, i) abdominal process between metacoxae much broader than coxal width; ii) robust rostrum, relatively short (not longer than 1.1x pronotal length; iii) eyes in lateral view close to front margin of pronotum, width of temple less than diameter of eye; iv) antennal funicle with stout first antennomere. The distinctive basisternal protuberance is so far only known in males.</p><p>Setizembrus is morphologically closest to the genera Seticotasteromimus, Pseudohylobius, Obhylius (shared raised scales with all three, and with the 2 nd antennomere of funicle partly hidden in first in the latter two), and Zembrus (body outline, rostrum).</p><p>Key to species of Setizembrus</p><p>1.

Tarsi with weakly bilobed (Fig. 5H) third tarsomere; claws free. Penis rectangular with triangular tip, bisinuate apicad, dorso-ventrally flattened, with one pair of angular internal sclerites, tegmen with well sclerotized parameres, as long as tip of penis (Figs 6J–L). Female genitalia with compressed c-shaped spermatheca (Fig. 6S), weakly sclerotized gonocoxites with elongate styli, narrowed apicad (Fig. 6T). Ventrite 7 (Fig. 6U). Slight sexual dimorphism: males are a little smaller than females (Figs 5A, E).</p><p>Derivation of name: This species is dedicated to the late Henry Maurice Pendlebury (1893–1945), former director of the “ Federated Malay States Museum” also known as “ Selangor Museum”, who collected the new species 96 years ago.</p><p>Remark: Not all specimens of this species were re-mounted and genitalia were not examined due to the comparatively fragile state of the historic specimens.</p><p>Remarks on natural history and ecology</p><p>Henry Maurice Pendlebury (1893–1945) was director of the “ Federated Malay States Museum” also known as “ Selangor Museum”. That museum was founded in colonial times under the British. During Second World War (1939–1945) Japan attacked the Federated Malay States. Wisely, Pendlebury had already evacuated a major part of the collections to London before that attack. He had been arrested by the Japanese and then died in air while flying from a prisoner-of-war camp in Singapore to England. On 10th March 1945 the museum building was unintentionally destroyed by American bombs, and apart from a small part of the insect collection, which could be evacuated, most was also destroyed at the same time. Right after the war, the Malayan Emergency followed (1948–1960). The evacuated parts of the beetle collection in London were integrated into the BMNH in the 1950ies. Interestingly, minor parts, which remained in Malaysia, are still intact, although in bad shape. Unfortunately, no details are known of the collection techniques applied by Pendlebury. He used light to attract insects, he had good skills in collecting and he likely engaged more helpers, who are not indicated on the labels. The beetle material in the BMNH is estimated to comprise more than 10,000 specimens (M. Geiser, pers. comm.).</p><p>The specimens in the collection of the NMB were collected by Petr Pacholátko (Czech Republic) in tree canopies using a sweeping net on a telescopic pole (see comment in Germann (2022)).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/5A3ADE4A2E613A1162DDFBD3E7864583	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
