J. Frisch / Holotypus ♂ Sunius alaianus spec. nov. det. V. Assing 2014” (cAss).</p> <p>Etymology: The specific epithet is an adjective derived from the name of the mountain range where the type locality is situated and where this species is probably endemic.</p> <p>Description: Small species; body length 3.1 mm; length of forebody 1.6 mm. Habitus as in Fig. 1. Coloration: head dark-reddish; pronotum bright-reddish; elytra dark-brown, with the anterior portion reddish; abdomen blackish; legs dark-yellowish; antennae reddish.</p> <p>Head (Fig. 2) 1.03 times as long as broad; lateral margins behind eyes subparallel; punctation coarse and moderately dense, sparse in median dorsal portion; interstices without microsculpture. Eyes rather small, slightly more than half as long as postocular region in dorsal view. Antenna 1.0 mm long.</p> <p>Pronotum (Fig. 2) 1.05 times as long as broad and 0.85 times as broad as head; punctation coarse and rather dense; interstices without microsculpture; midline rather broadly impunctate.</p> <p>Elytra (Fig. 2) short and slender, 0.85 times as long as pronotum; punctation dense, rather coarse, but weakly defined. Hind wings completely reduced.</p> <p>Abdomen 1.15 times as broad as elytra; punctation fine and moderately dense; interstices with distinct microreticulation; posterior margin of tergite VII without palisade fringe.</p> <p>♂: sternite VII with weakly concave posterior margin; sternite VIII (Fig. 3) weakly transverse, with rather shallow posterior excision, otherwise unmodified; aedeagus (Figs 4–6) 0.4 mm long; ventral process smoothly curved and apically very acute in lateral view; internal sac with two series of numerous small sclerotized spines and with a pair of larger apical spines.</p> <p>Comparative notes: Based on the external (coarse punctation) and the male sexual characters (aedeagus with two series of numerous sclerotized spines), S. alaianus undoubtedly belongs to the S. viator group (see ASSING 2008a). Previously, only three micropterous species of this group were known, all of them distributed in Tajikistan: S. bohaci ASSING, 2008, S. inflexus ASSING, 2008, and S. pennatus ASSING, 2008. Sunius alaianus is distinguished from all of them by the different shape of the ventral process of the aedeagus (species from Tajikistan: apical portion of aedeagus straight in lateral view) and by the shapes of the internal structures of the aedeagus. For illustrations of the three species from Tajikistan see ASSING (2008a).</p> <p>Distribution and natural history: The type locality is situated in the Alai range in southwestern Kyrgyzstan at an altitude of 1560 m. The holotype was collected from a sandy stream bank below shrubs (FRISCH pers. comm.).</p></div> 	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/039487C55954744DFF69B933FCC5FD43	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Bengal, Darjeeling distr., Tonglu 3100 m 16.X.78, Besuchet-Löbl ” (cAss).</p> <p>Etymology: The specific epithet is an adjective derived from the Latin noun marra (hoe) and alludes to the shape of the internal structures of the aedeagus.</p> <p>Description: Body length 3.0–4.0 mm; length of forebody 1.6–1.7 mm. Coloration: body black; legs pale-brown with slightly darker femora; antennae pale-reddish.</p> <p>Head (Fig. 7) as long as broad or weakly transverse, tapering posteriad in posterior half; punctation conspicuously coarse and dense in anterior dorsal portion, very sparse and less coarse in posterior dorsal portion; interstices without microsculpture. Eyes enormous and bulging, more than twice as long as postocular region in dorsal view.</p> <p>Pronotum (Fig. 7) weakly oblong and slightly narrower than head; punctation coarse and dense; midline moderately broadly impunctate.</p> <p>Elytra (Fig. 7) short, approximately 0.65 times as long as pronotum; punctation dense, irregular, and ill-defined. Hind wings completely reduced.</p> <p>Abdomen slightly broader than elytra; punctation fine, moderately dense anteriorly, gradually becoming less dense towards posterior tergites; interstices with shallow microsculpture; posterior margin of tergite VII without palisade fringe.</p> <p>♂: sternite VII without distinct modifications; sternite VIII (Fig. 8) approximately as broad as long, pubescence unmodified, posterior excision of subtriangular shape, its depth approximately one-tenth the length of sternite; aedeagus (Figs 9–10) 0.45 mm long; ventral process stout and of distinctive shape; internal sac with a pair of long and similarly shaped sclerotized structures.</p> <p>Comparative notes: Based on the external (coarse punctation, reduced elytra and hind wings, enormous eyes) and the male sexual characters (aedeagus with a pair of conspicuously long sclerotized structures in internal sac), S. marratus belongs to the S. manasluensis group, which is distributed in the Himalaya and China, and which previously included eight species: S. manasluensis ASSING, 2010 (Nepal: Manaslu), S. galiberti (Central Nepal: Phulchoki), S. turgescens ASSING, 2010 (China: Yunnan), S. macrops ASSING, 2010 (China: Yunnan), S. cursor ASSING, 2011 (Nepal), S. baculatus ASSING, 2011 (East Nepal), S. cameroni (Darjeeling), and S. bouddha (COIFFAIT, 1978) (Bhutan). The aedeagus of S. marratus is most similar to that of S. bouddha, but distinguished by the slightly different shape of the ventral process and particularly by the distinctly shorter and differently shaped internal structures. For illustrations of S. bouddha see ASSING (2011b), for those of other species of the S. manasluensis group see ASSING (2010, 2011a).</p> <p>Distribution and natural history: The type specimens were collected in three geographically close localities in Darjeeling district, West Bengal (North India), at altitudes of 1500–3100 m.</p></div> 	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/039487C55952744BFF69BF33FBB8FA63	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
