Type Material Examined. Porrorhynchus marginatus Laporte, 1835 lectotype here designated (1 ♀ card mounted, Fig. 17A View Fig ): “ Rostratus / (Java.) [handwritten black ink on card mount base, handwriting unknown]//” (1 ex. MVMA) .

Porrorhynchus tenuirostris Régimbart, 1877 lectotype here designated (1♂ pinned, Fig. 17D View Fig ): “MUSEUM PARIS/ COCHINCHINE/ HARMAND 1876 [white label, printed black ink]// yellow disk [underneath is handwritten 9/ 668 in black ink]// 7 [handwritten in black ink on small beige square]// MUSEUM PARIS/ MUSEUM PARIS COLL MAURICE REGIMBART/ 1908 [white label with thin black border, type black ink]// TYPE [red label, black ink]// LECTOTYPE [red label, black ink]//” (1 ex. MNHN) . Paralectotypes (3: 1 ♂ pinned, 2 ♀♀ pinned): Same labels as lectotype except without yellow disk or beige square and with “ PARALECTOTYPE [red label, black type]// ” (3 ex. MNHN) .

Dineutus (Porrorhynchus) marginatus mjobergi Ochs, 1926 lectotype here designated (1 ♂ pinned, with aedeagus on point, Fig. 17G View Fig ): “ ♂ [white label, typed black ink]// Mt. Dulit/ 3,500 f. [beige label, typed black ink]// Coll./ G.Ochs [white label, typed black ink]// Cotypus [red label with black borders, typed black ink]// P. marginatus / subsp. mjobergi / Type! Ochs/ 1924 [beige label, handwritten in ink, handwriting

appears to be Ochs’]// mjobergi Ochs [beige label with black border, handwritten in ink, handwriting appears to be Och’ s]// LECTOTYPE [red label, typed black ink]//” (1 ex. SMF). Paralectotype (1 ♀ pinned): Same data as lectotype except ♀ symbol label and without mjobergi Ochs label and with “ PARALECTOTYPE [red label, typed black ink] (1 ex. SMF) .

Type Designations. After much searching, only a single specimen located in the Laporte Foreign Insect Collection of the MVMA could be found and reliably considered part of the syntype series for P. marginatus . Furthermore, this specimen has the name “ rostratus ” on the card ( Fig.17A View Fig ), likely being the origin for the eponymous nomen nudum. Again, because Laporte did not indicate how many specimens he examined, we follow Recommendation 73F of ICZN (1999) and do not regard this specimen as the unique holotype, but instead here designate it as the lectotype for P. marginatus .

Régimbart (1877a) mentions having many examples from Cochinchine from Dr. Harmand, with Phu-Quoc in quotes for his description of P. tenuirostris . In the MNHN collection, there are numerous specimens collected by Harmand, however, only four specifically state Cochinchine on the label and as being collected in 1876. There are many more specimens in the Régimbart collection collected by Harmand, but these have Lakhon as the locality and the collection date as 1878. Given that the publication date is 1877, only those aforementioned four specimens are here considered as part of the syntype series. The specimen selected as the lectotype ( Fig. 17D View Fig ) is a male specimen already possessing a label that says “TYPE”. While there is a second description of P. tenuirostris given by Régimbart (1887b), it is the same situation as that encountered with P. brevirostris and should be similarly regarded as a redescription, requiring no additional lectotype designation.

The situation encountered with P. landaisi latilimbus applies also to P. marginatus mjobergi . Therefore, a lectotype is here designated.

Diagnosis. Orbital ridge with yellow lateral margins; labrum highly elongate and in the form of an isosceles triangle ( Fig. 1A View Fig ). Antenna with six flagellomeres ( Fig. 2C View Fig ). Dorsally olive green to bronzy brown; yellow lateral margins complete on elytra, extending to elytral apices, nearly always interrupted in basal third by a dark spot, associated in males with swelling for reception of fore leg ( Fig. 1A View Fig ). Elytral apices spinose, apicolaterally with sawtooth-like spines; sutural angle produced to a short point; one large parasutural spine; last sawtooth-like spine at the epipleural angle larger and more projecting than the rest, often strongly produced and spinose ( Fig. 1A View Fig ).

Porrorhynchus marginatus can be distinguished from all other species of the genus in having the orbital ridge with yellow margins and the elytral apices with a single parasutural spine and buzzsawlike serration apicolaterally ( Fig. 1A View Fig ). The species most similar to P. marginatus is P. depressus ( Fig. 1D View Fig ), however, these two species drastically differ in size (with P. marginatus normally being much larger) and the shape of the labrum (with that of P. marginatus being much more elongate and acuminate and in the form of an isosceles triangle), Finally, the non-overlapping distributions of the two species should easily separate the two.

Description. Size: ♂ L: 13.7 – 18.1 mm, W: 7.6–10.8 mm; ♀ L: 12.2–15.1 mm, W 7.1–8.7 mm. Habitus: Medium to very large members of genus; body form often tear-drop shaped, broadest posteriad middle, attenuated anteriorly, especially in large males, other populations elongate oval, evenly attenuated anteriorly to posteriorly, especially in females; in lateral view, convex, strongly humped in scutellar region, depressed posteriorly/ anteriorly; in anterior and posterior views, steeply sloped towards lateral margins from strongly humped scutellar region. Coloration: Dorsally head, pronotum, and elytra olive green to bronzy brown; labrum yellow basomedially; pronotum/ elytra with yellow lateral margins; elytral margin apicolaterally dark, turquoise-blue reflections apicolaterally mediad end of yellow lateral margins in some individuals; venter yellow; ultimate maxillary palpomere not darkened; fore legs with tibia black in proximal 1/2, profemora black api- cally. Head: Vertex with even covering of lightly impressed punctures, separated from nearest puncture by ca. 2–3X diameter of a puncture; orbital ridge with yellow margin; frons similarly punctate as vertex, punctures mostly concentrated apicomedially, fronto-lateral margins very lightly wrinkled to non-wrinkled, frontoclypeal suture with posterior margin nearly straight, lateral margins nearly straight, meeting posterior margin at ca. 120° angle; clypeus with punctation most evident at anterior margin, punctures separated from nearest puncture by ca. 2–3X diameter of a puncture, becoming more densely spaced anteriorly; antennal flagellum with 6 complete flagellomeres, ultimate flagellomere at least 2X longer than penultimate, trapezoidal; labrum in form of isosceles triangle, punctation absent basomedially, in association with yellow coloration, strongly present apically, punctation well-impressed and dense, separated from nearest puncture by 0.5–1.5X diameter of a puncture; maxillary and labial palpi similar in shape ( Fig. 8D View Fig ), both hatchet-form with anterior margin of maxillary palp and ventral margin of labial palp weakly curved, posterior margin of maxillary palp/dorsal margin of labial palp more strongly curved, apex of both truncate. Thorax: Pronotum with even covering of finer, weakly impressed punctures separated from nearest puncture by 2–3X diameter of a puncture, reticulation less impressed medially, becoming very well-impressed laterally, very shallow transverse depression often present medially, lateral marginal depression present; protrochanteric setose patch situated apicolaterally; protibial spine projecting forward; male protarsi not laterally broadened, not noticeably dorsally convex, shape as in Fig. 8A View Fig , ultimate male protarsomere ca. 2X as long as wide; ultimate protarsomere of female ca. 1.5X length of penultimate; elytra with reticulation effaced in scutellar and sutural regions, reticulation present apically/laterally, being very strongly impressed marginally, elytral discs with even covering of finely impressed, punctation, distance between nearest punctures ca. 2–3X diameter of a puncture; lateral marginal depression broad, strongly expanded posteriad humeral region; yellow lateral margin complete, ending apicolaterally at elytral apices, nearly always interrupted in basal 1/3 by darkly colored spot, in males associated with swelling created by cavity for reception of fore leg, apicolateral margins of elytra with triangular sawtooth-like spines, final spine at the epipleural angle often strongly elongate, spine-like, elytral apices spinose ( Fig. 1A View Fig ), with single parasutural spine, sutural angle produced; mesoventral apex not noticeably acuminate, evenly narrowed basally to apically; meso- and metacoxae similar, mesocoxae with posteriorly projecting process, processes strongly acuminate, almost spine-like ( Fig. 8C View Fig ); male mesotarsal claws as in Fig. 8E View Fig , with ventral margin flatly rounded, anterior claw not significantly narrowed apically. Genitalia: Aedeagus ( Fig. 10 View Fig ) with median lobe ca. 5/6 length of parameres, parallel-sided in basal 1/2, some populations with medial constriction, moderately laterally expanded in apical 1/2, acuminate in apical 1/4, apex truncate; in lateral view, apex briefly and strongly curved dorsally; parameres in dorsal view with lateral margins briefly expanded in apical 1/3, setose in apical 1/5, apex with apicomedial margin straight to oblique reflexed in apical 1/5, medial margin arcuately reflexed after apical 1/5 until basal 1/2; lateral margins often constricted in basal 1/5; in lateral view, ventral margin of parameres often evenly curved anteriorly to posteriorly. Female reproductive tract ( Fig. 13C View Fig ) with narrow, elongate, tubiform spermatheca; gonocoxae short, lateral margin straightly angled towards apex, apex obliquely truncate.

Sexual Dimorphism. Males tend to be larger in size than females; some males exhibit a broader body form, having their outline laterally expanded posteriad elytral mid-length, giving large males a more attenuated feel anteriorly. Females tend to be much more elongate in appearance, being evenly attenuated posteriorly and apically.

Variation. This widespread species is highly variable in body form and size ( Fig. 9 View Fig ). Specimens examined from more northern mainland latitudes tend to be more elongate and narrowly oval in overall body form and with a much more acute labrum ( Fig. 9B, C, D View Fig ), with some larger specimens reaching some fairly long body lengths ( Fig. 9B View Fig ). Specimens from along the Malay Peninsula tend to be smaller in overall body length, with a more evenly oval body form and broader labrum ( Fig. 9F, G, H View Fig ). Specimens from Borneo run the gamut of body forms, but notably include a unique race containing very large and broad males (described as a formal subspecies, D. marginatus mjobergi , Fig. 9O View Fig ). The largest specimens of P. marginatus come from East Kalimantan ( Fig. 9O View Fig ). These specimens also have relatively blunt metacoxal processes relative to other populations ( Fig. 8Q View Fig ).

Distribution. The most widely distributed species in the genus, P. marginatus is found throughout most of Southeast Asia from as far northwest as Zayü Co., China ( Jäch et al. 2012), east to Vietnam, and south to Java, including Borneo, but notably absent from the Philippines and east of Wallace’ s line ( Fig. 14 View Fig ).

Biology. Label data support the previous observation ( Ochs 1927b) that P. marginatus is found in smaller forested streams, often above 100 m and up to 1,000 m. This species has been implicated as sensitive to water quality, being found only in streams in the Malay Peninsula not contaminated by tailings from tin mines ( Ochs 1927b).

Discussion. This species exhibits great variation in body form ( Fig. 9 View Fig ). However, similar variation was not exhibited elsewhere in external morphology ( Fig. 8 View Fig ). The northern populations exhibiting a more narrow body form, formally described by Régimbart (1877a) as P. tenuirostris , exhibit no other significant variation. Régimbart (1882) identified his “ tenuirostris ” as being mere variation and synonymized it himself. Only later would the name be re-instated by Ochs (1926). Given this name was only based on variation in outline, with other southern populations having a narrow outline (i.e., Fig. 9I View Fig ), this name is formally synonymized here again.

The aedeagus shows considerable variation ( Fig. 10 View Fig ). Most populations have a narrow elongate median lobe that is weakly constricted medially and strongly acuminate apically. Populations from Sumatra ( Fig. 10I, J, K View Fig ) have a shorter and broader aedeagus, with a thicker median lobe. However, all populations, including the Sumatran, exhibit the same general form of the median lobe, being laterally expanded in their apical half, then acuminate in the apical quarter with a truncate apex, and having the same length to paramere proportions, being just shorter than the parameres. Importantly, all medial lobes have the apex curved dorsally in lateral view. The greatest degree in variation was exhibited by the apex of the parameres. Specimens from Sumatra have broad and mostly rounded apices to the parameres ( Fig. 10J, K View Fig ), while other populations have strongly truncate apices ( Fig. 10D, E, H, I View Fig ), and many with the apex more-or-less evenly rounded ( Fig. 10A, F, L, M, N View Fig ). However, all the parameres had a consistent obliquely truncate medial margin to the apex and a lateral expansion in their apical third. Furthermore, the difference in paramere morphology could not be attributed to any single region. The broader median lobe of the Sumatran populations was the only consistent morphological difference exhibited among the aedeagi of the P. marginatus specimens examined. However, this does not correspond to any formally described subspecies.

Porrorhynchus marginatus mjobergi was described from very large specimens collected from Borneo’ s Mount Dulit. Other specimens from Borneo are similarly robust and among the largest specimens examined. However, the broad body size is not consistent among specimens from Borneo. Specimens from East Kalimantan match P. m. mjobergi well and do exhibit a minor unique morphology apart from the more robust dorsal habitus of males. The metacoxal apex ( Fig. 8Q View Fig ) has broader and more rounded apices. The labra of the specimens examined are also broader and rounder than those of other populations. The aedeagus, however, exhibits no substantial difference from other populations ( Fig. 10N View Fig ). Given the potential isolation of the population to the mountains of central Borneo and some of the unique features exhibited, P. marginatus mjobergi may be deserving of subspecies status pending a phylogenetic analysis. However, morphologically, there is nothing to merit continuing this distinction as a formally named taxon until phylogenetic evidence gives credence to its distinction.

While the species has been suggested to be sensitive to water quality, it has a very large range, unlike the two other members of Porrorhynchus s. str. Given its large range and common occurrence in museums, it is not likely of conservation concern currently. We propose the common name of the margined snouted whirligig for P. marginatus .
