Cintaromorpha dacatrai View in CoL sp. n.
( Fig. 1 View Fig a-f)
Holotype (male,“ Pakistan - Kagan V., Murree 2000 m c.a., 6. VII. 1986, C. Dacatra ” (cSD).
Description of holotype. Length 17.5 mm, width 6.5 mm. Proportions: pronotum 1.13x wider than long, 1.83x wider than head, elytra 1.51x wider than pronotum.
Color: Body black, glossy, sparsely covered by black setae; terminal parts of mandibles, basal parts of palps, tarsi and antennae lighter, brownish.
Head long, narrow, 1.83x narrower than pronotum, markedly constricted behind eyes; eyes moderately convex; temples well developed, oblique; labrum strongly excavated at anterior margin; clypeus smooth; vertex convex, sparsely punctured; anterior part of frons smooth, fairly convex at middle, laterally depressed, rugate, lateral margin with sulcus rimming it from mandibular base to posterior margin of eyes, anterior side arcuate, weakly sinuate before eyes, moderately impressed, smooth, sharply bordered externally, medially bordered by a longitudinal ridge separating it medially from elongate lateral pits. Neck smooth.
Pronotum slightly transverse (length to width ratio 1.13), roughly hexagonal, widest just behind midlength, with anterior margin distinctly narrower than base; front angles broadly rounded, indistinct; lateral margins weakly sinuate toward base; hind angles almost rectangular, base straight; lateral rims narrow anteriorly, disappear near front angles; surface densely rugate, coarsely and irregularly punctured; sagittal line distinctly impressed, reaching neither front margin nor base; basal pits elongate, deeply impressed, coarsely punctured.
Elytra weakly ovoid, strongly convex, widest just behind midlength, elongate, weakly tuberose in front of apex; disc weakly flattened; humeri developed but rounded; margins weakly rounded near humeri, widening posterolaterally, strongly rounded toward apex; basal rim indistinct, striae deeply impressed and punctured; intervals conHäckel M., Anichtchenko A.
vex, sparsely punctured, interspaces with dis- rugate, finely rugate at middle, densely covered tinct isodiametric microsculpture. by long setae.
Aedeagus evenly curved, apical lamella short, Venter black, metepisternum anteroposteriorly apex rounded ( Figs.1e, f View Fig ).
somewhat longer than wide, trapeziform, Etymology. Named after the collector, Mr. punctured, narrower posteriorly. Ventrites with Stefano Dacatra from Milan, Italy.
anterior margins strongly crenulate, laterally
Distribution. Pakistan: Mansehra District of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province.
