093187AAFF9B8D12FC27FC3FFDBD37FC.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis. – The new species is similar to Litargus (Litargus) raffrayi Grouvelle, 1914 (South Africa) and L. (L.) crassus Grouvelle, 1914 (Cameroon) but differs from them by the shape of the elytral pattern and structure of the antennae; from Litargus (Alitargus) balteatus LeConte, 1856, it differs by the structure of the antennae (short terminal antennomere) and presence of apical elytral spot.
