            <p> Genus  Parallelodemas Faust</p>
            <p> Parallelodemas Faust, 1894: 306. Type species  Parallelodemas perfectum Faust, by subsequent designation (Morimoto and Yoshihara 1996). Gender originally female, changed to neuter because of the grammatical gender of the Ancient Greek base word  δέμας (Alonso-Zarazaga and Lyal 1999). </p>
            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p> Species of  Parallelodemas can be recognized by characteristically elongate body (Fig. 1), medially notched epistome (which often is worn in females) and exodontous mandibles with evenly convex inner face (Fig. 3). Superficially, they resemble species of the conoderine subtribe  Phaenomerina (see Morimoto 1961), but those have incrassate, ventrally dentate femora and larger eyes. The characters on the mandible and epistome separate  Parallelodemas from certain grass- and sedge-associated, primarily Palaeotropical  Baridinae with similarly slender rostrum and elongate body. The latter complex includes  Eumycterus Schönherr , 1838;  Trephognathus Marshall, 1945;  Neosharpia Hoffmann, 1956;  Caenobaris Nasreddinov, 1980;  Lepidomyctides Yoshihara &amp; Morimoto, 1994 and several species currently placed in other genera. </p>
            <p>Misplaced species.</p>
            <p> Yoshihara and Morimoto (1994) recognized that  Parallelodemas tarsale Voss, 1937 is a species near  Eumycterus and  Lepidomyctides but they had very little material of those genera. We studied five Oriental species near  Parallelodemas tarsale (BPBM, IZCAS, SNSD, ZIN) and several species of  Caenobaris ,  Eumycterus ,  Neosharpia and  Trephognathus Marshall from Africa, Central Asia and India. While  Eumycterus and its probable synonym  Trephognathus can be distinguished by vertically moving mandibles (Marshall 1945; Korotyaev 2002), we were unable to recognize or to confirm the generic limits of the remaining species. We transfer here  Parallelodemas tarsale to  Lepidomyctides in the widest sense, as  Lepidomyctides tarsalis (Voss), new combination. </p>
            <p>Redescription.</p>

            <p>Diversity and distribution.</p>
            <p> With the six new species described in this study,  Parallelodemas includes now a total of twelve. The scarce material gives an unrepresentative picture of the distributional ranges of individual species. Species of  Parallelodemas have been found in China, India, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Taiwan and Vietnam. Their distribution is primarily Oriental but several reach the Palaeartic part of China, northward up to Shaanxi and Zhejiang. </p>
            <p>Biology.</p>
            <p> The host plant of  Parallelodemas apparently is unknown. One specimen of  Parallelodemas docile is labeled as being taken from Buttontree,  Anogeissus acuminata (Roxburgh ex Candolle) Guillemin et al. (  Combretaceae ). Other specimens were swept from low vegetation. Females with fully developed eggs occur from late April to early June. </p>
            <p>Sexual dimorphism.</p>
            <p> Rostrum. Species of  Parallelodemas exhibit marked sexual dimorphism of characters on the rostrum. Females generally have a longer and smoother rostrum than males, with a more basally inserted antenna and slightly inflated apical portion (Fig. 2). Gender-related differences in the basal width of the rostrum (Fig. 8) are apparent but often inconspicuous. The ventral side of the rostrum is setose in male  Parallelodemas impar ,  Parallelodemas petilum and  Parallelodemas plumosum . However, the most striking difference, the length and shape of the epistome, may be acquired secondarily rather than being truly sexually dimorphic. Nearly all examined males have a projected, medially notched epistome, whereas it is almost always short and truncate in females (Fig. 3). However, the presence of projected epistomes in some female  Parallelodemas feae ,  Parallelodemas impar ,  Parallelodemas imperfectum and  Parallelodemas setifrons suggests a secondary loss, probably through abrasion during the preparation of oviposition sites, because the distally divergent mandibles afford no protection of the epistome as in other weevils. However, this needs to be confirmed with freshly emerged specimens and field observations. </p>
            <p> Antenna. Males generally have a longer scape than females (usually as long as the funicle). The distal margins of the male scape can be setose, such as in  Parallelodemas impar (Fig. 2). </p>
            <p> Mandible. At a first glance, it appears as if  Parallelodemas has swapped the left with the right mandible or rotated them by 180 degrees (Fig. 3). The inner face not only lacks any trace of incisors, it also is evenly convex from base to apex and seems therefore dysfunctional. Moreover, the outer face is concave and armed with two apparently ordinary incisors, just like the inner mandibular face of most baridine weevils. However, three landmarks on the mandible leave no doubt that the seemingly abducent mandibular movement evolved by reversing the function of the abductor and adductor tendons rather than by rotating the mandible, a trend seen in some weevils with a very slender rostrum (Marshall 1945): (1) The dorsal and ventral mandibular sockets (preartis and postartis) are formed and located as in other  Baridinae ; (2) the mandibular setae are located on the outer face (between the basal incisors); and (3) the pharyngeal process is attached to the inner basal angle of the mandible. From this it follows that the incisors on the outer face are secondarily evolved structures and analogous to the inner incisors of other weevils. Morimoto and Yoshihara (1996) suggested an inversion of the mandibular movement from adducent to abducent. The laterally deeply excised mandibular articulation and widely divergent mandibles in many mounted specimens support this conclusion. Unfortunately, we could obtain neither direct field observations nor fresh specimens for scanning the abductor and adductor tendons. </p>
            <p> Eye. While almost all  Baridinae have eyes that are flush with the head contour, they are protruded in several  Parallelodemas species. The eyes of male  Parallelodemas setifrons protrude more than those of females (Fig. 8), but the dorsal and ventral distance between them and their circumference are not affected. The increased eye surface affords more facets in the male but facet diameter is the same. </p>
            <p> Leg. Several  Parallelodemas species have large, deviant setae on the mesotarsus which crowd toward the distal (outer) half. These setae are arranged asymmetrically on the fifth (claw-bearing) tarsite and are much larger and more numerous in males than in females (Figs 6, 7). The individual tarsites, in particular the fifth, are often more elongate in males than in females. Males often have faintly thicker pro- and mesofemora than females. </p>
            <p> Tergites. Like in other  Baridinae , the eighth tergite is developed in males but internalized in females. Because the distal external tergite protrudes beyond the elytral apex well enough to expose the suture between the seventh and eighth tergites in males, this character is very useful for sexing specimens. </p>
            <p> Ventrites. The male metaventrite is medially depressed and, together with the first abdominal ventrite, may have less setae than the  female’s . Voss (1941) mentioned a sexually dimorphic basal process on the prosternum of  Parallelodemas impar , but he either had a mixed series or his observation was incorrect. </p>

            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p> Our material includes seven small specimens from three sites (3 Shaanxi, 1 Sichuan, 3 Vietnam), which form a close-nit complex of probably three species. They have bulging eyes, thoracic ventrites with bifid setae, a ventrally setose male rostrum and a slender penis with very long flagellum. Differences occur in the apical shape of the penis (Shaanxi - triangular; Sichuan - narrowly rounded; Vietnam - slightly projected) and the first abdominal ventrite (Vietnamese specimens with a pair of tubercles between the metacoxae). We describe the three specimens from Shaanxi as  Parallelodemas petilum and informally assign to this complex the four others. Similar species are  Parallelodemas dimetans (with nearly flush eyes) and  Parallelodemas setifrons (with plumose setae). </p>
            <p>Description.</p>
            <p> Length 3.0-3.7 mm, width 0.8-1.0 mm; integument dark brown to nearly black, appendages partially light brown; meso- and metathoracic sternites with bi- and trifid setae, pronotum and elytron with basic vestiture of very fine setae; eyes bulging; frons and base of rostrum with recumbent setae; male rostrum 0.93  –1.12× as long as pronotum, ventrally with long setae, prorostrum 0.39  –0.40× rostral length, slightly spatulate and apically diverging in dorsal view, epistome moderately deeply notched, antennal scape with a few long setae, club 2.6  × as long as wide; female rostrum 1.14  × as long as pronotum, prorostrum 0.50  × rostral length; prosternum gradually sloping in front of coxa, basal lobe moderately notched; all femora hirsute ventrally; tarsus with tarsite 3 excised to basal third, tarsite 5 as long as 2 and distinctly protruding beyond anterior margin of 3, male mesotarsus with moderately long, clavate, outward directed setae; penis 7  × as long as wide, apex triangularly narrowed (as  Parallelodemas plumosum , Fig. 14), with sclerotized flagellum almost as long as penis and apodemes combined; spermatheca with collum and nodulus forming poorly differentiated bulbous unit, ramus as long as wide (Fig. 22). </p>
            <p>Distribution.</p>

            <p> Parallelodemas docile Faust</p>
            <p> Parallelodemas docilis [sic] Faust 1894: 309. Lectoype male, designated here, labeled "Carin Cheba/ 900-1100 m/ L. Fea V XII-88", "  docilis / Faust", "  Parallelodemas /  docilis / sp. n.", "  Parallelodemas /  docilis / ♂ sp. n.", "SYNTYPUS/  Parallelodemas /  docilis / Faust, 1894", "Museo Civico/ di Genova", "Lectotype/  Parallelodemas docile / Faust (Prena &amp; Zhang/ design. 2014)" (MSNG). Paralectotypes 6: Carin Cheba, Myanmar (MSNG 3, SFFM 1, SNSD 2). </p>
            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p> The large, subcordate third and relatively short fifth tarsite (Fig. 4) are diagnostic for this species.  Parallelodemas imperfectum Faust, the only other species with enlarged third tarsite, has an extremely miniaturized fifth tarsite (incorrectly stated to be absent by Faust 1894). Other useful characters are the short male rostrum and presence of dense vestiture on the distal three fourths of the metepisternum. </p>
            <p>Redescription.</p>
            <p> Length 4.5-6.2 mm, width 1.1-1.6 mm; integument black, teneral specimens with ventrites  and legs partially dark rufous; ventral side with undivided setae, basic vestiture inconspicuous on pronotum and elytron, imbricate white squamiform setae at base of elytral interstria 3, postmedially on interstriae 3-5, on dorsal apex of mesepimeron, distal 3/4 of metepisternum, flank of prosternum, ventral face of pro- and mesofemora, dorsal face of metafemur and occasionally on basolateral angles of pronotum; eyes flush with head contour; frons and base of rostrum glabrous; male rostrum 0.78  –0.83× as long as pronotum, ventrally without setae, prorostrum 0.38  –0.41× rostral length and subcylindrical in dorsal view, epistome very slightly notched, antennal scape ventrally without long setae, club 1.6  × as long as wide; female rostrum 1.02  –1.13× as long as pronotum, prorostrum 0.50  –0.53× rostral length; prosternum gradually sloping in front of coxa, basal lobe slightly notched; pro- and mesofemora ventrally with recumbent squamiform setae; tarsus with tarsite 3 moderately large, subcordate and excised to middle, tarsite 5 as long as 3 and only moderately protruding beyond anterior margin of 3 (Fig. 4), inconspicuously setose in both sexes; penis 2.5  × as long as wide, apex subtriangular (Fig. 16), internal sac without discernible sclerite; spermatheca with nodulus and ramus short (Fig. 25). </p>
            <p>Distribution.</p>
            <p>The species is known from China (Yunnan) and Myanmar.</p>

            <p> Parallelodemas impar Voss 1941: 895. Holotype female, Tienmushan, China (NKMB). Paratype retained by Voss not traceable and probably destroyed (see Weidner 1979: 400). </p>
            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p> The ventrally hirsute male rostrum separates  Parallelodemas impar from all other Chinese species with simple, undivided setae. Another good character is the absence of wide setae on elytron and metepisternum. </p>
            <p>Redescription.</p>
            <p> Length 4.4-5.8 mm, width 1.0-1.5 mm; integument dark brown, antenna, tarsus and apex of female rostrum light brown; vestiture consisting of inconspicuous, evenly distributed, simple, cupreous setae; eyes slightly bulging; frons and base of rostrum with recumbent setae; male rostrum 0.98  –1.07× as long as pronotum, ventrally with long setae, prorostrum 0.28  –0.30× rostral length and spatulate in dorsal view, epistome deeply notched, antennal scape ventrally with long, cupreous setae, club 2.0  × as long as wide; female rostrum 1.13  –1.16× as long as pronotum, prorostrum 0.48  –0.49× rostral length; prosternum gradually sloping in front of coxa, basal lobe notched; all femora hirsute ventrally; tarsus with tarsite 3 relatively small and excised to basal third, tarsite 5 as long as 1 and moderately protruding beyond anterior margin of 3, male mesotarsus with long, clavate, outward directed setae; penis 3.0  × as long as wide, apex  with narrowly rounded, subtriangular projection (Fig. 17), internal sac with thick, tubular, basally curved sclerite; spermatheca with nodulus long and perpendicular to long axis of collum, ramus obsolete (Fig. 26). </p>
            <p>Distribution.</p>
            <p> The species is known from China (Sichuan, Yunnan, Zhejiang) and Laos. The record from Guatun in Fujian, by Voss (1956), applies to  Parallelodemas setifrons . </p>

            <p> Parallelodemas tardum Faust</p>
            <p> Parallelodemas tarda [sic] Faust 1894: 309. Lectoype male, designated here, labeled "Carin Cheba/ 900-1100 m/ L. Fea V XII-88", "tarda/ Faust", "  Parallelodemas /  tarda / sp. n.", "  Parallelodemas /  tarda / ♂ sp. n.", "SYNTYPUS/  Parallelodemas /  tarda / Faust, 1894", "Museo Civico/ di Genova", "Lectotype/  Parallelodemas tardum / Faust (Prena &amp; Zhang/ design. 2014)" (MSNG). Paralectotypes 3 (2 males, 1 female), same data (MSNG 2, SNSD 1). </p>
            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p> Two of the eight known species with undivided setae have an unmodified male mesotarsus, i.e., they lack special setae and the fifth tarsite is not enlarged. One is  Parallelodemas tardum described from Myanmar, the other is  Parallelodemas tumens from China.  Parallelodemas tardum is larger than  Parallelodemas tumens (5.4-6.6 mm vs. 3.8-4.8 mm) and has a shorter rostrum with a more distally inserted antenna. The females may be distinguished by body length. A difference between female  Parallelodemas perfectum and  Parallelodemas tardum is not apparent (each with one known specimen). Female  Parallelodemas feae are very similar but have ventrally hirsute femora. </p>
            <p>Redescription.</p>
            <p> Length 5.4-6.6 mm, width 1.6-1.9 mm; integument black; ventral side and pygidium with undivided setae, basic vestiture of fine setae on pronotum and elytron, moderately wide white setae at base of elytral interstria 3 and postmedially on interstriae 3-5, on metepisternum and basolateral angles of pronotum; eyes flush with head contour; frons and base of rostrum glabrous; male rostrum 0.89  –0.94× as long as pronotum, ventrally without setae, prorostrum 0.32  –0.33× rostral length, apically slightly diverging in dorsal view, epistome short and slightly notched, antennal scape glabrous, club 1.8  × as long as wide; female rostrum 1.04  × as long as pronotum, prorostrum 0.50  × rostral length; prosternum slightly tumescent in front of coxae (apparently not in female), basal lobe notched; pro- and mesofemora ventrally with erect squamiform setae; tarsus with tarsite 3 of moderate size and excised to basal third, tarsite 5 slightly longer than 3 and distinctly protruding beyond anterior margin of 3, male mesotarsus without specialized setae; penis 2.3  × as long as wide, apex lancet-shaped and broadly rounded (as  Parallelodemas tumens , Fig. 18), internal sac with 2 small sclerites (hook and paired hook); spermatheca with collum bulbous, ramus short, nodulus obsolete (as  Parallelodemas dimetans , Fig. 21). </p>
            <p>Distribution.</p>
            <p>Besides the type series from Myanmar, we have seen one female from India that might be this species.</p>

            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p> Besides  Parallelodemas tardum , this is the only known species without split setae on the metepisternum and without a modified male mesotarsus.  Parallelodemas tumens is smaller (&lt;5 mm) than  Parallelodemas tardum and has a longer rostrum with a more basally inserted antenna. Differences in the genitalia are not apparent. Female  Parallelodemas tumens may be distinguished from female  Parallelodemas perfectum and  Parallelodemas tardum by smaller body size. All three species have specimens with a more or less tumescent prosternum. </p>

            <p> Parallelodemas vicinum Faust</p>
            <p> Parallelodemas vicina [sic] Faust 1894: 308. Lectoype male, designated here, labeled "Carin Cheba/ 900-1100 m/ L. Fea V XII-88", "  vicina / Faust", "  Parallelodemas /  vicina / sp. n.", "  Parallelodemas /  vicina / ♂ sp. n.", "SYNTYPUS/  Parallelodemas /  vicina / Faust, 1894", "Museo Civico/ di Genova", "Lectotype/  Parallelodemas vicinum / Faust (Prena &amp; Zhang/ design. 2014)" (MSNG). Paralectotypes 9: Carin Cheba, Carin Ghecu and  Teinzó , Myanmar (MSNG 4, SFFM 2, SNSD 3). Lyal and King (1996), elytro-tergal stridulation. </p>
            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p> A generally useful character for recognizing  Parallelodemas vicinum is the presence of imbricate squamiform setae on the distal half of the metepisternum.  Parallelodemas docile has similar vestiture on the distal two thirds and an enlarged third tarsite. Small  Parallelodemas vicinum with more widely spaced setae on the metepisternum differ from the otherwise very similar  Parallelodemas perfectum by the apically truncate aedeagus and less curved female rostrum. These two and  Parallelodemas feae , a species with ventrally hirsute femora, are the only known species with undivided setae, flush eyes and clavate setae on the male mesotarsus. </p>
            <p>Redescription.</p>
            <p> Length 6.4-7.8 mm, width 1.6-2.2 mm; integument black, teneral specimens with ventrites and legs partially dark rufous; ventral side with undivided setae, basic vestiture inconspicuous on pronotum and elytron, imbricate white squamiform setae at base of elytral interstria 3, postmedially on interstriae 3 and 4, on dorsal apex of mesepimeron, distal half of metepisternum, flank of prosternum, ventral face of pro- and mesofemora, dorsal face of metafemur and occasionally on basolateral angles of pronotum; eyes flush with head contour; frons and base of rostrum glabrous; male rostrum 1.06  –1.15× as long as pronotum, ventrally without setae, prorostrum 0.36  –0.38× rostral length and spatulate in dorsal view,  epistome very slightly notched, antennal scape with long, cupreous setae, club 1.6  × as long as wide; female rostrum 1.14  –1.24× as long as pronotum, prorostrum 0.57  –0.58× rostral length; prosternum gradually sloping in front of coxa, basal lobe notched; pro- and mesofemora ventrally with slender (male) or squamiform (female) setae; tarsus with tarsite 3 relatively small and excised to basal third, tarsite 5 as long as 2+3 and distinctly protruding beyond anterior margin of 3, male mesotarsus with moderately long, clavate, outward directed setae; penis 2.5  × as long as wide, apex bottle-shaped (Fig. 9), internal sac with thick, tubular, basally curved sclerite; spermatheca with nodulus long and usually perpendicular to collum, ramus similarly long (as Fig. 27). </p>
            <p>Distribution.</p>
            <p>The species is known from China (Yunnan), India and Myanmar.</p>

Morimoto and Yoshihara (1996: 17), designation as type species for  Parallelodemas . </p>
            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p> Only two specimens of the sexually dimorphic  Parallelodemas
perfectum
 are known, one of each gender. The species forms a complex with  Parallelodemas feae ,  Parallelodemas tardum ,  Parallelodemas tumens and  Parallelodemas vicinum , all of which have flush eyes, thoracic ventrites with undivided setae and a male mesotarsus with outward-directed clavate setae (Fig. 6). The profemur of the male  Parallelodemas perfectum is ventrally more expanded than in the other species.  Parallelodemas feae has ventrally hirsute femora;  Parallelodemas tardum has a shorter male rostrum;  Parallelodemas tumens is smaller (&lt;5 mm);  Parallelodemas vicinum usually has denser vestiture on the mesepisternum and a less curved female rostrum. The few available female  Parallelodemas perfectum and  Parallelodemas tardum could not be distinguished with confidence. </p>
