Name
Eniclases pseudoluteolus Bocek & Bocak, 2016 sp. n. – Wikispecies link – ZooBank link – Pensoft Profile
Material examined
Holotype. Male (BM0084), Indonesia, Irian Jaya, Maibri vill., Arfak Mts., 1600 m, Nov.–Dec. 1991 (LMBC).
Diagnosis
Eniclases pseudoluteolus belongs to the group of uniformly yellow species which additionally includes Eniclases luteolus Waterhouse, 1878, Eniclases nigriceps Bocak & Bocakova, 1991, Eniclases fuscicornis Bocak & Bocakova, 1991, and Eniclases pallidus Bocak & Bocakova, 1991. Most of them have large eyes (Bocak and Bocakova 1991[1]). Two species, Eniclases robustus Bocak & Bocakova, 1991 and Eniclases proximus Bocak & Bocakova, 1991 have the similar size of eyes with Eniclases pseudoluteolus. These species differ from Eniclases pseudoluteolus in the slender antennomere 3 and light colored thorax (antennomere of Eniclases pseudoluteolus as in Fig. 36). The similar species occur only in Eastern New Guinea in the vicinity of Wau and Mt. Hagen (Fig. 2).
Description
Male. Body length 9.3 mm, head, apical antennomeres, thorax, and abdomen dark brown to black, pronotum and elytra yellow, trochanters brown, rest of legs black. Head with small, hemispherically prominent eyes, their diameter 0.90 interocular distance, antennae flat, acutely serrate, antennomere 3 triangular, wide, its apical process short (Fig. 36), further antennomeres similar in shape, becoming slenderer to apex of antennae. Pronotum transverse, with weak bulge in basal third, elytra with weak secondary costae and mostly regular, subquadrate cells.
Distribution
New Guinea, Arfak Mts.
Etymology
The specific name refers to the similarity with Eniclases luteolus.
