In R. costata and R. hosoishii sp. nov. the abdomen has no membranes between the ventrites 3 to 5, and the procoxal cavities externally closed behind, these characters are common with the other genera of the tribe Cnemeplatiini. The head is triangularly flabellate in form, and covered with scale-like setae, with a sulcus on the gular plate for receiving the antenna, and also the pronotum (venter) with a shallow excavation for receiving the antennal club; these characteristics are unique.</p> <p>Additional description. Mouthparts. Labrum (Fig. 8) elongate, longer than wide, sparsely setiferous anteriorly, with some imbricate villi along apical margin, without epitorma at middle; tormal arms long, without posterior extension. Mandibles (Figs 9, 10) much reduced, apices pointed, apices to inner margin weakly sclerotized, mola rudimental and very small in the basalmost portion, without transverse ridges for grinding, entirely covered with prostheca, which bears dense and microscopic setulae; scissorial lobe with apex fringed with filmy margin, neither toothed nor incurved. Ligula (Fig. 11) simple and reduced, transverse, slightly emarginate at apex. In maxilla (Fig. 12), lacinia divided, densely pubescent over all, without uncus; apical pubescence of galea long and dense; ultimate maxillary palpomere enlarged, elongate oval.</p> <p>Hind wings (Fig. 13) short, apical flecks present, lacking medial fleck; venation is rather thick, without Anal Lobe (AP 1+2 &amp; AP 3+4) in anal field (as modified from Lawrence &amp; Britton, 1991); vein CuA 1+2 is linked; Radiomedical Loop very broadened; RP is short, lost in basal part.</p> <p>Ovipositor and cuticular parts of representative female genital tubes (Figs 16, 17) are very primitive in the Tenebrionidae; gonostyle rudimental and apical; oviduct ventrally basal; primary bursa copulatrix short and large; spermathecal gland apical, very short; coxite reduced, with lobes 3 and 4 fused; paraproct slightly longer than coxite; protigeral baculus clear, baculi-1 and baculi-2 distinctively sclerotized. Defensive glands lost, bearing only short thin membrane.</p> <p>Comments. The additional description of the genus is based on the specimens of Rondoniella hosoishii sp. nov. but these characteristics are most probably also shared by the other congeners because of their obvious close relationship.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/581387C977398261FF1776D5B263F92D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Body cylindrical, subparallel-sided. Color grayish black-brown overall.</p> <p>Male. Head triangular, rounded at apex, with lateral margins weakly bisinuate, and with posterior margin almost straight though shallowly emarginate medially; disc laterally strongly depressed, flattened around clypeus, inner part of eyes margined, angled at posterior end; eyes small, their diameter less than half of distance between eyes; surface granulate-punctate and covered with scale-like setae; both of punctation and setation becoming sparser and finer toward lateral margins.</p> <p>Venter of head densely with granules and punctures, with a longitudinal and subparallel-sided elevation in middle, the elevation weakly depressed in middle, with dense and circular tubercles; ventral eyes weakly convex, situated at posterior end beside the elevation; mentum transverse, large, strongly emarginate at apex, with a pair of connecting rods at middle of posterior margin; gula roundly convex, with dense tubercles becoming gradually larger anteriad, microscopic punctures between tubercles with short setae.</p> <p>Pronotum subtrapezoid, widest around anterior 1/4; anterior margin almost straight but shallowly emarginate medially; lateral margins rounded and narrowed posteriad to angled postero-lateral corners; posterior margin widely rounded, margined and slightly depressed; disc gently convex, but strongly depressed antero-laterally, with a shallow longitudinal groove medially, which is terminated at posterior round depression; surface granulate-punctate; punctation becoming smaller and finer toward antero-lateral corners where only finely punctate. Venter of prothorax with distinct prothoracic cavity for receiving antennomeres. Prothoracic hypomera weakly depressed, with large and circular tubercles. Prosternum unevenly convex, densely and irregularly tuberculate; prosternal process cuneiform, strongly bent inward. Mesoventrite densely tuberculate, subvertical posteriorly between coxae. Metaventrite weakly convex, unevenly depressed along posterior margin, evenly covered with tubercles, and without transverse sulci. Abdomen weakly convex in middle and slightly depressed laterally, densely tuberculate.</p> <p>Elytra oblong oval, widest around basal 1/3, slightly narrowed from middle toward base; nine striae slightly convex, each formed by a row of granules; surface weakly granulate-punctate; epipleura uneven, reaching almost apices of elytra, densely tuberculate, not beaded beside metepisternum.</p> <p>Legs short and robust, densely with small granules and large punctures; femora rather flat, gently dilated toward near middle; tibiae dilated apicad; foretibiae with ecto-apical angles strongly produced; inner margin of hindtibia with a smooth longitudinal line.</p> <p>Aedeagus slender; median lobe 1.21 times as long as the length of apicale and basale combined; basale weakly divergent posteriorly, almost entirely opened ventrally, 1.26 times as long as apicale; apicale confluent at apex, dorsally with a pair of rounded notches at base, sparsely setiferous apically.</p> <p>Female.

Most of the characteristics of the genus Durandius fit well with those of the genus Rondoniella.Although Kaszab (1970) accounted for the genus as distinguishing characteristics, the truncated anterior margin of the head, the character states of prothoracic hypomera and of antennal form are considered to be diagnosis of the species in the genus rather than a synapomorphy. The rounded tooth of foretibia is also recognizable in that of Rondoniella bremeri Ferrer &amp; Moragues. However, we confirmed that Durandius ardoini does not share the character state, prothoracic cavity for receiving antennomeres, which is observed in the Rondoniella species, and the gular shape of D. ardoini is also considerably different from that of Rondoniella species. Also, the mouthparts are less strange than in Rondoniella: in Durandius ardoini the labrum is circular, not elongate as in Rondoniella, and the mandibles are well developed and slightly visible in ventral view while invisible in ventral view and apparently degenerated in Rondoniella. At the moment it is difficult to determine whether Durandius is a synonym of Rondoniella, so we will tentatively leave Durandius as an independent genus. As we examined only a single specimen of D. ardoni and were unable to dissect and observe the mouthparts in detail.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/581387C9773B8263FF177136B075F8FC	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

This species is easily distinguished from the other congeners by the combination of the following characteristics: the body being pale reddish brown; the pronotum being widest near the anterior margin; the outer margin of the foretibiae being sinuate owing to rounded weak tooth at middle. The head shape is similar to those of R. costata and R. hosoishii sp. nov. but the other characteristics including the body color are rather similar to those of Durandius ardoini. The foretibial shape is intermediate between R. costata (and R. hosoishi sp. nov.) and D. ardoini; the outer margin of the former is almost straight but the that of the latter bears rounded weak tooth.</p> <p>Measurements of examined specimen.

This species was described based on a single, old specimen collected in “ Siam, Gylden, Pak Koh (no other data).” Ferrer and Moragues (2000: 104) stated “Pak Koh” is Laos but they mapped the place of “Pak Koh” in an old map of Thailand. “Pak Koh” is apparently in Thailand. Dr. Sasitorn Hasin of Thailand checked some old maps of Siam, Thailand and the Lanna Kingdom to find Pak Koh but could not find it. She said that the position of "Pak Koh" is quite same position as "Pak Pan Railway Station" which is a minor train station and its position is close to Den Chai train station, Den Chai District, Phrae Province.</p> <p>As is often the case in Ferrer's papers, the outline of the habitus figure of the species is not very accurate. The figure of the original description overemphasises the size of the foretibiae and the widening of the anterior angles of the pronotum.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/581387C9773B8263FF17756DB213FB7E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
