Oedichirus View in CoL sp. A4 (Fig. 12)

M a t e r i a l s t u d i e d: 1♂: N-THAILAND, Chiang M., Soppong – Pai , 1.- 8.6.1993, 1800m, Patcholatko & Dembicky / Oedichirus sp. A4 det. 2015 G. de Rougemont [ NHMW] ; 1♀: LAOS, Viang Chan prov., Ban Pa Kho resort, 50 km NE Vientiane, 90 m, 9-14.VI.2007, M ŠTRBA leg. / Oedichirus sp. A4? det. 2015 G. de Rougemont [ SMNS] .

D e s c r i p t i o n: length: 8.3 mm; length of fore-body: 3.8; length of head: 0.85; breadth of head: 1.15; length of antenna: 2.5; length of pronotum: 1.15; breadth of pronotum: 0.92; length of elytron1.5; breadth of elytra: 1.45. Colour pattern as in O. patcholatkoi nov.sp. (Fig. 7h).

Male sternite VIII: Fig. 12s8; aedoeagus lost (as in the type of O. vexans nov.sp., which came from the same source, the aedoeagus, which had been glued to the bottom right of the mounting card, had become detached and lost before shipment to Oxford).

Female: sternite IX (vulvar plate detached from median gonocoxal plate): 12vp.

By virtue of the entirely infuscate meso- and metatibiae this medium-sized member of the O. Alatus group is most similar to O. patcholatkoi nov.sp. from which it is distinguished by the coarser puncturation of its elytra.
