2D095448FFA7FF9F31A92FABFA6F2A1D.taxon	description	Description (holotype, male): (Figures 1 A, C – F). Body size: Total length: 7.11 mm, width: 5.02 mm. Colour: uniformly dark brown. Head: clypeal carina expanding to the mid-frontal area generating a little angulation; frons without tubercles; surface completely with scattered points, heterogeneous (Figures 1 D – E). Pronotum: anterior region of disc with little expanded tubercle, practically bidentate. Points spread over the complete surface of the pronotum, with greater evidence on the sides of the disc and with a non-standard distribution. Ventral region of the thorax: central region of the metaventrite with a few scattered in a non-standard way setae. Male terminalia (Figures 1 G – I): parameres, symmetrical, with the approximate base and truncated and divergent apex, widely separated in dorsal view (Figure 1 G); completely visible in lateral view (Figure 1 H); only the apex visible in ventral view (Figure 1 I). Sexual dimorphism: female unknown.	en	Dantas, Caique, Ferreira, André da Silva, Bravo, Freddy (2024): New species of Bolbapium Boucomont, 1910 (Coleoptera: Geotrupidae) from Brazil.

2D095448FFA7FF9F31A92FABFA6F2A1D.taxon	discussion	Remarks: Bolbapium vazdemelloi sp. nov. has a head with tubercle adjacent to each eye, similar to Bolbapium luederwaldti Carvalho & Vaz-de-Mello, 2022, Bolbapium boillyi Carvalho & Vaz-de-Mello, 2022, Bolbapium borgmeieri Martínez, 1976, Bolbapium caesum (Klug, 1843), and Bolbapium furtadoi Carvalho & Vaz-de-Mello, 2022. However, B. vazdemelloi sp. nov. has the anterior region of pronotum with a small, expanded tubercle, practically bidentate (Figures 1 A, C – F), a characteristic that is absent or morphologically different in the other previously mentioned species. In B. luederwaldti, the pronotum is a concave structure (see Figure 3 D in Carvalho & Vaz-de-Mello 2022); in B. borgmeieri, the pronotum, mesoanteriorly, is a curved structure with width less than half the interocular width (see Figure 6 B in Carvalho & Vaz-de-Mello 2022); in B. caesum, the pronotum, mesoanteriorly, is a curved structure, with non-continuous lines and with small angulation on each side of the structure (see Figure 6 F in Carvalho & Vaz-de-Mello 2022); in B. furtadoi, the pronotum is a simple bi-tuberculated structure at the front and with small tubercle on each side of the central projection (see Figure 4 C in Carvalho & Vaz-de-Mello 2022), and in B. boillyi, the pronotum, mesoanteriorly do not have an evident structure, the central disc has a slight sinuosity (see Figure 4 D in Carvalho & Vaz-de-Mello 2022). Bolbapium vazdemelloi sp. nov. (Figures 1 D – E) is morphologically similar to B. matheusi (see Figure 6 C in Carvalho & Vaz-de-Mello 2022), both species have the anterior region of pronotum with little expanded tubercle, practically bidentate; however, B. matheusi does not have the head with tubercle adjacent to each eye (see Figure 6 C in Carvalho & Vaz-de-Mello 2022) that is present in the new species.	en	Dantas, Caique, Ferreira, André da Silva, Bravo, Freddy (2024): New species of Bolbapium Boucomont, 1910 (Coleoptera: Geotrupidae) from Brazil.
