Eupoa lobli Logunov & Marusik, 2014 sp. n. – Wikispecies link – ZooBank link – Pensoft Profile
Type
MALAYSIA: 1♂ (MHNG, both palps detached), West Malaysia, Pahang, Cameron Highlands, 1520 m a.s.l., trail 14, Bukit Mentiga (tamisage), 23.03.1993, I. Löbl & F. Calame.
Etymology
The species is named after the famous coleopterist, Dr. Ivan Löbl (Geneva, Switzerland), who collected the holotype.
Diagnosis
The male of Eupoa lobli sp. n. is most similar to that of Eupoa lehtineni sp. n., but can easily be distinguished by the shape of tegular and median apophyses (cf. Figs 60–61 and 52). The female of Eupoa lobli sp. n. remains unknown.
Distribution
The type locality only.
