Holotype ♂, SABAH: Poring Hot Springs, 500 m 13.V.1987 Burckhardt – Löbl (MHNG).</p> <p>Description. Length 1.40 mm, width 1.0 mm. Body fairly dark reddish-brown with darkened mesoventrite, metaventrite and ventrites I to IV. Apical abdominal segments yellowish. Femora and tibiae reddish-brown, paler than elytra, tarsi and antennae yellowish. Head with interocular distance about as dorsoventral eye diameter. Lateral contours of pronotum and elytra continuously arcuate. Pronotum not microsculptured, with punctation very fine, hardly visible at 40 times magnification, lateral margin carinae not visible in dorsal view. Minute tip of scutellum exposed, rounded. Elytra not microsculptured, with lateral margins rounded, lateral margin carinae visible in dorsal view only near bases, sutural striae starting near base, parallel, curved along bases to form complete basal striae joined with lateral striae, adsutural areas flat, distinctly punctate. Elytral disc with punctation posterior of narrow impunctate base coarse and dense, punctures mostly smaller than puncture intervals. Hind wings fully developed. Hypomera appearing impunctate. Mesoventrite with longitudinal striae, lacking mesal ridge. Mesepimera about twice as long as wide and hardly longer than intervals to coxae. Middle of metaventrite convex, impunctate except for transverse row of coarse punctures near posterior margin and few less coarse punctures on anterior intercoxal process. Lateral area of metaventrite with conspicuous, impressed, dense row of coarse punctures along posterior margins, and coarse puncture on anterior area and along metanepisterna, impunctate between transverse puncture row and submesocoxal areas. Submesocoxal areas 0.02 mm long, margined by punctures about as those on lateral areas of metaventrite. Metanepisterna distinct, about 0.04 mm broad, parallel, with straight, punctate suture. Tibiae straight. Ventrite I lacking striae, with punctures margining base not elongate, about as large as those on sides of metaventrite, not interrupted at middle, punctation posterior of basal row coarse, irregularly scattered. Punctation on following ventrites very fine and sparse, hardly visible at 40x magnification.</p> <p>Male characters. Protarsomeres I to III hardly widened. Aedeagus (Figs 1–3) 0.38 mm long. Median lobe in dorsal view gradually narrowed apically, with tip acute and not bent; apical process inflexed, with unsplit dorsal side, about as long as half of basal bulb, ventral contour of apical process in lateral view oblique. Articular process not prominent. Parameres wide, weakly sclerotized, with shallow notch and narrowed apically, hardly bent in dorsal view, straight in lateral view. Internal sac lacking sclerites, with striate, proximally bent tube.</p> <p>Differential diagnosis. The species in external characters is similar to members of the B. serendibensis, B. lenta and B. ceylonensis groups. It may be distinguished from its congeners by the punctation of the metaventrite, notably by the conspicuous, impressed antecoxal puncture row.</p> <p>Distribution. East Malaysia. Sabah.</p> <p>Etymology. The species epithet is Latin meaning of different ways or manner.</p></div> 	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/D0225B07FFABFF94D6DB87540C1C0B46	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

[B162] (CNC); 9 ♂, Sabalangan River env. 25 km SE Sapulut, 26.06.98, Kodada &amp; Čiampor (MHNG).</p> <p>Description. Length 0.98–1.10 mm, width 0.65–0.70 mm. Body reddish-brown with usually slightly darkened meso- and metaventrite. Apex of abdomen yellowish. Femora and tibiae about as elytra or lighter, tarsi and antennae yellowish. Head with interocular distance about as dorsoventral eye diameter. Lateral contours of pronotum and elytra continuously arcuate. Pronotum not microsculptured, with punctation very fine, hardly visible at 40 times magnification, lateral margin carinae not visible in dorsal view. Scutellum concealed. Elytra not microsculptured, with lateral margins oblique, lateral margin carinae visible in dorsal view only near bases, sutural striae starting near base, parallel, curved along bases to form complete basal striae joined with lateral striae, adsutural areas flat, very finely punctate. Discal punctation fairly coarse and dense on anterior two-thirds of elytron, very fine on apical third, punctures usually smaller than puncture intervals. Hind wings fully developed. Hypomera appearing impunctate. Mesoventrite with short mesal ridge and scattered, coarse punctures. Mesepimera about 2.5 times as long as wide and as intervals to coxae. Entire metaventrite densely and coarsely punctate, punctures round, on lateral areas coarse than on centre, to part larger than puncture intervals; centre flattened. Submesocoxal areas 0.01–0.02 mm long, margined by punctures about as those on lateral areas of metaventrite. Metanepisterna concealed. Tibiae straight. Ventrite I lacking striae, with punctures margining base not or weakly elongate, smaller than those on sides of metaventrite, not interrupted at middle. Remaining abdominal punctation very fine and sparse, hardly visible at 40x magnification.</p> <p>Male characters. Protarsomeres I to III hardly widened. Aedeagus (Figs 4–7) 0.28–0.34 mm long. Median lobe in dorsal view abruptly narrowed apically, with tip acute and not bent; apical process hardly inflexed, about as long as basal bulb, ventral contour of apical process in lateral view slightly arcuate to oblique. Articular process not prominent. Parameres narrow, not or hardly widened apically, bent in basal halves in dorsal view, slightly sinuate in lateral view. Internal sac with flagellar-guide sclerite gradually narrowed apically, joined basally with flagellum and ring shaped sclerite. Membranes of internal sac lacking denticulate or squamous vesicles, ejaculatory duck not vesicular before entering sclerotized complex.</p> <p>Differential diagnosis. This species may be distinguished from other members of the Baeocera lenta group having coarse elytral punctures limited onto the anterior two-thirds of the disc, complete basal striae and the ventrite I smooth posterior of basal puncture row, by the metaventrite entirely densely punctate, the concealed scutellum, and the aedeagal characters. The shape of the parameres, the comparatively elongate apical process of the median lobe and the narrow flagellar guide-sclerite are similar to those of B. rufula (Löbl), and B. secreta and B. semirufa described below. These species share also an internal sac lacking vesicles. Baeocera rudis may be distinguished from them by its parameres narrow and weakly bent near bases, and by the shape of the sclerites of the internal sac.</p> <p>Distribution. East Malaysia: Sabah.</p> <p>Etymology. The species epithet is a Latin adjective meaning coarse.</p></div> 	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/D0225B07FFA8FF99D6DB86670B8F0B46	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

This species resembles B. suthepensis Löbl, 1990 by the shape of the parameres, though their narrowed apical section is notably longer. It may be distinguished from S. suthepensis by the smaller body-size, the lighter colour, the membranes of the internal sac lacking scale-like structures, the flagellar-guide sclerite widened and bent apically, and the distinctive shape of the proximal end of the sclerotized complex.</p> <p>Distribution.

Body reddish-brown to blackish, femora and tibiae reddish-brown, tarsi and antennae yellowish. Head with interocular distance slightly larger than dorsoventral eye diameter. Lateral contours of pronotum and elytra continuously arcuate. Pronotum not microsculptured, with punctation very fine, hardly visible at 40 times magnification, lateral margin carinae not visible in dorsal view. Exposed tip of scutellum minute, triangular. Elytra not microsculptured, with lateral margins rounded, lateral margin carinae exposed near bases in dorsal view, sutural striae parallel with suture, curved at bases and extended along basal margins to form basal striae joined with lateral striae; adsutural areas flat, distinctly punctate in basal halves. Discal punctation coarse, comparatively sparce and very irregular anterior elytral mid-length, punctures well delimited, mostly smaller than puncture intervals. Punctation very fine on apical halves of elytra, few coarse punctured extending posteriorly elytral mid-length excepted. Hind wings fully developed. Hypomera appearing impunctate. Mesoventrite without mesal ridge, irregularly punctate. Mesepimera nearly about three times as long as wide and about two times as long as intervals to coxae. Centre of metaventrite flat, with scattered, fairly coarse punctures, to part impunctate. Lateral areas of metaventrite densely and coarsely punctate, punctures round, much larger than puncture intervals and larger than punctures on centre of metaventrite. Submesocoxal areas 0.02 mm long, densely margined by round punctures as large as those on centre of metaventrite. Metanepisterna fused with metaventrite. Tibiae straight. Ventrite I lacking striae, with punctures margining base not or hardly elongate, smaller than most punctures on sides of metaventrite, not interrupted at middle. Remaining abdominal punctation very fine and sparse, hardly visible at 80 x magnification.</p> <p>Male characters. Protarsomeres I to III hardly widened. Aedeagus (Figs 16–19) 0.37–0.42 mm long. Median lobe in dorsal view abruptly narrowed apically, with tip acute and bent; apical process moderately inflexed, somewhat shorter than half of basal bulb, ventral contour of apical process in lateral view nearly oblique. Articular process not prominent. Parameres fairly wide anterior mid-length, narrowed at mid-length, bent in dorsal view, nearly straight in lateral view. Internal sac with apically widened and bent flagella-guide sclerite conspicuously short, not joined basally with flagellum, at apex overlapped by flagellum, joined proximally with large, transverse, strongly sclerotized process. Accessory transverse sclerite strongly sclerotized long and narrow, at proximal end bulbous. Membranes lacking denticulate or squamous vesicles, section of ejaculatory duck anterior entering flagellum not vesicular.</p> <p>Differential diagnosis. This species may be distinguished by the shape of the proximal accessory sclerite and the short flagellar guide-sclerite from its similar congeners that share entire sutural striae and coarse punctation limited onto anterior elytral halves. The aedeagal characters suggest relationship to B. sarawakensis Löbl which may be distinguished by a long flagellar-guide sclerite and a membranous vesicle.</p> <p>Distribution. East Malaysia: Sabah.</p> <p>Etymology. The species epithet is a Latin adjective meaning removable.</p></div> 	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/D0225B07FFA4FF9CD6DB868E0BDC0913	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Internal sac with flagellar supporting sclerite, flagellar-guide sclerite long, broad basally, strongly narrowed apically, joined basally with conspicuous oblique sclerite; without membranous vesicle.</p> <p>Differential diagnosis. This species resembles B. incisa (Löbl) in having the entire elytral disc and the ventrite I distinctly punctate. It may be distinguished from B. incisa by the basal striae of the elytra joined with the lateral striae, and is readily separated from its congeners, B. rudis sp. nov. excepted, by the shape of the basal sclerite of the internal sac. It differs notably from B. rudis by the abdominal punctation.</p> <p>Distribution. East Malaysia: Sabah.</p> <p>Etymology.
