Body length 7.8-8.3 mm, length of fore body (to end of elytra) 3.5–3.9 mm. Body entirely black, elytra with slight bronze sheen, clypeus narrowly yellowish brown along anterior margin and around antennal sockets, maxillary and labial palpi dark brown, palpomere 1 lighter, antennae black, base of antennomere 2 yellowish brown, legs black, femora of anterior legs brown.</p> <p>Head distinctly transverse, wider than long (w/l ratio 1.35/1.00 = 1.35), slightly narrowed posteriad. Eyes large and slightly convex, distinctly longer than temples (eye length/temple length ratio 0.60/0.25 = 2.40). Area between eyes with 4 coarse punctures, medial interocular punctures slightly shifted to the front, distance between medial punctures five times distance between medial and lateral puncture. Temporal area with several variably large punctures. Surface with very fine and dense microsculpture consisting of mostly transverse waves.</p> <p>Antennae very long, exceeding the posterior margin of pronotum by the length of combined antennomeres 10–11 when reclined. Antennomere 1 almost as long as antennomeres 2–3 combined, distinctly longer than antennomere 11. Relative length of antennomeres: 1 = 0.48; 2 = 0.25; 3 = 0.30; 4–7 = 0.20; 8–10 = 0.18; 11 = 0.30.</p> <p>Pronotum longer than wide (l/w ratio 1.55/1.40 = 1.11), bulging, parallel-sided, lateral margins in anterior fourth slightly sinuate. Posterior angles strongly rounded. Each dorsal row with 5 coarse, equidistant punctures, punctures 5 distant from the posterior margin about the length of antennomere 1. Each sublateral row with 2 coarse punctures, punctures 1 on the same level as punctures 3 in dorsal row. Lateral margins with several bristles of variable length. Microsculpture similar to that on head.</p> <p>Scutellum very densely and coarsely punctate, punctures somewhat larger than eye facets, distance between punctures smaller than their diameter.</p> <p>Elytra wider than long (w/l ratio 2.15/1.95 = 1.10), slightly widened posteriad. Punctation sparser and coarser than that on scutellum. Surface without microsculpture. Setation greyish.</p> <p>Abdomen wide, distinctly narrowed from fifth visible tergite towards apex. Elevated area between two basal lines on first three visible tergites coarsely and densely punctate.</p> <p>Legs. Metatibia as long as metatarsus, meso- and metatibiae with several long bristles on external side. Metatarsomere 1 as long as metatarsomere 5, relative length on metatarsomeres: 1 = 0.30; 2–4 = 0.18; 5 = 0.30.</p> <p>Abdomen. Punctation of basal portion of all tergites similar to that on elytra, gradually sparser towards posterior margin of each tergite. Surface without microsculpture. Setation similat to that on head.</p> <p>Male. Protarsomeres 1–3 slightly dilated and sub-bilobed, each covered with modified pale setae ventrally, protarsomere 4 slightly narrower than preceding ones. Sternite VIII as in Fig. 8, sternite IX as in Fig. 5. Aedeagus (Figs. 1, 2, 4): Median lobe with sides subparallel or slightly narrowed apicad, in apical quarter distinctly flattened from both sides and ending in subacute apex, paramere long, apical part with about 15 sensory peg setae and about 10 short fine setae (Figs. 3, 6).</p> <p>Female. Protarsomeres 1–3 less dilated than those of male, each covered with modified pale setae ventrally. Tergite X minutely notched apically (Fig. 7), genital segment with gonocoxites as in Fig. 9.</p> <p>Differential diagnosis. Based on external characters and morphology of the genitalia, it is not possible to assign P. hapalemur sp. nov. to any species groups hitherto defined. It differs from all Afrotropical and Madagascan species in the shape of aedeagus that has the median lobe with subparallel sides and paramere slightly resembling that of P. jocquei Lecoq, 1996 described from the Comoros. However, P. hapalemur sp. nov. differs from the latter species in the parallel-sided pronotum and in the narrow apical part of the median lobe that is distinctly longer (compare with LECOQ 1996: Figs. 56, 58).</p> <p>Etymology. The name of this species, a noun in apposition, is a Latin generic name of the Malagasy Gray Gentle Lemur Hapalemur griseus (Link, 1795).</p> <p>Distribution. Madagascar.</p></div> 	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/038C87EBA74FFFEDFEC6FD48E7CBA408	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.

Madagascar, Fort Dauphin.</p> <p>Type material. SYNTYPE: J, ‘Port Daufin [= Fort Dauphin], Madagaskar, von Dr Plason’ (FMNH).</p> <p>Description. Body length 8.1–8.3 mm, length of fore body (to the apex of the elytra) 4.7–5.0 mm. Head and pronotum black with golden iridescence, clypeus narrowly yellowish brown along anterior margin and antennal sockets, elytra and abdomen blackish brown, maxillary and labial palpi yellowish brown, mandibles brown yellowish, antenna black with antennomeres 1, 2 and 11 lighter, brownish, base of antennomere 2 lighter, femora and tarsi brown yellowish, tibiae darker.</p> <p>Head transverse, wider than long (w/l ratio 1.36/1.64 = 1.21), sides parallel just behind eyes and than slightly narrowing posteriad. Eyes slightly convex, shorter than temples (eye length/temple length ratio 0.44/0.60 = 0.73). Area between eyes with 4 coarse punctures, distance between medial punctures three times larger than distance between medial and lateral puncture. Posterior angles slightly rounded with one puncture bearing long black seta. One coarse puncture situated near posterior margin of eyes. Temporal area almost impunctate. Surface with very fine, dense microsculpture consisting of transverse waves.</p> <p>Antennae slender, moderately long, reaching to posterior third of pronotum when reclined. Relative length of antennomeres: 1 = 0.40; 2 = 0.24; 3 = 0.28; 4 = 0.20; 5 = 0.18; 6 = 0.16; 7 = 0.14; 8–10 = 0.12; 11 = 0.26.</p> <p>Pronotum wider than long (w/l ratio 1.60/1.52 = 1.05), anterior angles almost rectangular with short black setae, lateral margins with several setae of variable length. Each dorsal row with 5 coarse punctures, punctures 2, 3, 4 equidistant, distance between punctures 1–2 and 4–5 slightly larger. Each sublateral row with 2 finer punctures, punctures 1 on the same level as punctures 3 in dorsal row. Microsculpture similar to that on head.</p> <p>Scutellum finely, moderately sparsely punctate, punctures somewhat larger than eye facets, average distance between punctures as large as their diameter.</p> <p>Elytra wider than long (w/l = 1.96/1.84 = 1.07), narrowest at midlength, very slightly widened anteriad and posteriad. Punctation sparser and coarser than that on scutellum. Punctures slightly larger than eye facets, separated on average by about one puncture diameter, on some places by one and half puncture diameter. Surface without microsculpture. Setation brownish yellow.</p> <p>Abdomen wide, slightly narrowed from fifth visible tergite towards apex. Punctation at base of each segment coarser and denser than on elytra, becoming finer and sparser towards posterior margin of each tergite, surface without microsculpture, setation similar to that on elytra.</p> <p>Legs. Tarsi Piezarthrus -like, with meso- and metatarsomeres distinctly flattened and dilated, relative length on metatarsomeres: 1 = 0.28; 2 = 0.16; 3-4 = 0.14; 5 = 0.32.</p> <p>Male. Protarsomeres 1–3 dilated, each covered with modified pale setae ventrally, protarsomere 4 much narrower than the preceding ones. Sternite VIII slightly emarginated posteriorly, sternite IX as in Fig. 13. Aedeagus (Figs. 10–12) with median lobe distinctly, evenly widened anteriad, with broadly rounded apex; paramere long, distinctly bent towards median lobe, separated in two lobes, apical part of each lobe with about 3 sensory peg setae (Fig. 12).</p> <p>Female. Unknown to the authors.</p> <p>Distribution. Madagascar: Fort Dauphin.</p> <p>Discussion. LECOQ (1998) defined the subgenus Piezarthrus Lecoq, 1998 as follows: ‘The basic common character of these species is flattening and enlargement of meso- and metatarsi’. Philonthis plasoni shares this character as well, therefore it is transferred to that subgenus. Eight species were placed in this subgenus – seven from Madagascar and one from the Comoros. The dorsal row of the pronotum consists of 4 (P. pollux Fauvel, 1905) or 5 large punctures (remaining species). For most of the species of this subgenus the hitherto available material is very poor – only 1– 2 specimens for most species. Philonthus plasoni is similar to P. humbloti Lecoq, 1998 described from the Comoros in the body length and the relative length of eyes, but it differs from the latter in the very widely rounded apex of the median lobe of the aedeagus and parallel lobes of the paramere.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/038C87EBA74AFFECFECFFE3AE4B8A349	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
