CB49A120FFE7FF96FF20FA90AF96FCE1.taxon	description	Description. Body oblong, narrow, parallel-sided. Dorsum usually yellow to orange (rarely with black markings), abdomen, mesosternum and metasternum yellow, partly black or completely black. Head shining, narrower than prothorax at the base. Clypeus triangular, usually raised. Labrum transverse, with apex slightly emarginate, often covered with long hairs. Maxillary palpus four-segmented, basal segment short, second club-shaped, third much thickened, fourth small and conical. Antennae long and slender, usually about half or three quarters of the body, but in some cases longer, the second segment shortest. Eyes generally large and strongly convex. Vertex convex, smooth. Prothorax shining, quadrate or slightly broader than long, always narrower than the base of elytra, with a shallow transverse depression in front of the basal line, area in front of this depression generally convex. Sides bordered, somewhat oblique, sometimes strongly convex in front, with a consequent constriction at the middle. Each of the corners with a pore bearing fine seta. The anterior and posterior margins straight. Scutellum subtriangular. Elytra usually shining (or shining in males and opaque in females), with surface smooth and finely con- fusedly punctate. In some species with a slight constriction about the middle and along the side with a ridge. Humerus prominent and convex. Epipleura narrow from the base to apex. Legs long and slender, apices of tibiae without a spine. The first segment of hind tarsus slender to extended. Claws bifid. Male abdomen simple or with one pair of processions from the posterior margin of the second ventrite (rarely with two pairs of processions from the first and the second ventrites or from the second and third ventrites). The last male ventrite of some species (including all species from Sulawesi) with well defined subquadrate area.	en	Bezděk, Jan (2008): A review of the genus Hoplasoma (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Galerucinae) from Sulawesi, Indonesia, with the description of H. bosi sp. nov.

CB49A120FFE7FF96FF20FA90AF96FCE1.taxon	discussion	Comments. Jacoby (1884) did not explain the origin of the genus name Hoplasoma or its gender in the original description. Within the years 1884 - 1904 he described eight species in this genus, all treated as masculine with termination „ - is “. It seems to be evident that the name Hoplasoma is derived from Greek words „ hoplon “ (óπλον, neutrum, used in plural: hopla) and „ sóma “ (σώµα, neutrum) meaning „ armed body “, refering to two pairs of appendages on the first and second ventrites in the male of H. apicale (type species). Although Jacoby strictly used masculine terminations for all his species described in Hoplasoma, the gender had to be fixed as neutrum, as was used by Kimoto (1989, 2003).	en	Bezděk, Jan (2008): A review of the genus Hoplasoma (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Galerucinae) from Sulawesi, Indonesia, with the description of H. bosi sp. nov.

CB49A120FFE0FF93FF20F964ADDDFAB1.taxon	discussion	Comments. Described from unknown number of specimens. In the institutions housing the parts of Jacoby´s collection I have found 8 syntypes altogether. One male from MSNG is designated as lectotype here. Jacoby (1886) mentioned that only hind legs are black. However, the examination of the type series proved that also middle legs are black (but more or less delighted by the influence of light in different specimens). Weise (1922) described ab. butonensis based on just one female with the dark middle legs. This female was found in NHRS and bears following labels: „ Jns. Buton [w, p] // celebensis / Jac. ab. / butonensis / m. [w, h] // NRM Sthlm / Loan 1561 / 08 [grey label, p] “. Because described as an aberration H. celebensis ab. butonensis is treated as an unavailable name. Its coloration fully agrees with all other specimens of H. celebense thus ab. butonensis is conspecific with H. celebense, what is supported also by the dissection of males from Buton Isl. found in ZMHB.	en	Bezděk, Jan (2008): A review of the genus Hoplasoma (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Galerucinae) from Sulawesi, Indonesia, with the description of H. bosi sp. nov.

CB49A120FFE3FF93FF20FA35A816F807.taxon	discussion	Comments. Medvedev (2007) described the strange structure of flagellum, protruding through ventral side of aedeagus. The careful study of the holotype and its aedeagus proved that the aedeagus was ventrally perforated during the dissection and consequently the flagellum was passed through the ventral side. Medvedev´s idea on the unique of this character within Galerucinae is false.	en	Bezděk, Jan (2008): A review of the genus Hoplasoma (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Galerucinae) from Sulawesi, Indonesia, with the description of H. bosi sp. nov.

CB49A120FFEDFF9FFF20F8AFAE33FF09.taxon	description	Description. Body elongate, subparallel, nearly glabrous. Colouring yellowish brown. Apices of mandibles, abdomen and metasternum black. Middle and hind legs black including coxae and trochanters, the last two tarsomeres dark brown. Fore legs brown, slightly darker than the rest of the body. Antennae completely yellow. Measurements. Male (holotype): 12.7 mm; females: 12.3 – 12.9 mm. Male. Labrum transverse, covered with several pale setae, anterior margin slightly sinuate, lustrous. Anterior part of head lustrous, sparsely covered with small punctures and pale setae. Frontal tubercles large, slightly elevated, subquadrate, with the inner anterior tips prolonged posteriad, lustrous. Both tubercles separated from each other by furrow as well as posterior margin of frontal tubercles from frons. Frons distinctly impressed just behind frontal tubercles, lustrous. Vertex very finely covered with almost indistinct puntures, lustrous. Antennae slender, 0.70 times as long as the body, length ratio of antennomeres 1 to 11 equal to 17 - 5 - 14 - 18 - 19 - 19 - 19 - 16 - 16 - 14 - 17. Pronotum lustrous, glabrous, almost impunctate, subquadrate, 1.3 times as broad as long, widest at the first third. Anterior margin straight, anterior angles moderately projected onward. Lateral sides slightly rounded in the anterior half, parallel posteriad. Posterior margin almost straight, very slightly sinuate, posterior angles obtuse. Anterior margin unbordered, lateral margins very deeply bordered, posterior margin moderately bordered. Surface with basal half slightly impressed. All angles with setigerous pore bearing long pale seta, lateral margins with several short pale hairs. Scutellum subtriangular with apex cutted, lustrous, glabrous, impunctate. Elytra very long, 2.4 times as long as wide and 0.77 times as long as the body; lustrous, subparallel, slightly divergent posteriad, with maximal width at the last quarter, nearly glabrous, with very scarce short pale hairs. Humeral calli well developed. Lateral sides of elytra with two indistinct obtuse ribs starting from humeral calli and disappearing before apex. Surface between the ribs slightly impressed. Elytral surface covered with very small, almost indistinct confluent punctures. Apical angles slightly protracted. Epipleura very narrow, gradually tapering, disappearing at two thirds of elytra. Macropterous. Legs slender, densely covered with short pale hairs. Apex of hind tibia triangularly extended in lateral view (Fig. 25). Hind trochanters enlarged, flattened, inner side moderately excavated. First tarsomeres of all tarsi enlarged (Figs. 20 – 22). Claws deeply split. Ventral surface semiopaque, finely punctate and covered with microsculpture and dense pale hairs. The middle of posterior margin of the second ventrite with one pair of small, short and slender processions. Median plate of the last ventrite with obtuse ridge in the middle (Fig. 19). Aedeagus very long, ca. twice longer than in other Sulawesian species, nearly parallel, slightly left gibbous at the basal third, apex widely subtriangular (Fig. 13). Female. Antennae 0.60 times as long as the body. First tarsomeres of all tarsi not enlarged. Last ventrite entire. Spermatheca as in Fig. 23.	en	Bezděk, Jan (2008): A review of the genus Hoplasoma (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Galerucinae) from Sulawesi, Indonesia, with the description of H. bosi sp. nov.

CB49A120FFEDFF9FFF20F8AFAE33FF09.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis. Hoplasoma bosi sp. nov. can be easily distinguished from all its congeners by very long elytra, 2.4 times as long as wide (maximaly twice in other Hoplasoma species) and by very long aedeagus (Fig. 13). Habitually, the nearest species is H. sulawesianum. Hoplasoma bosi sp. nov. differs from it, besides above mentioned characters, in the structure of hind legs in male which have triangularly extended apex of tibia (not extended in H. sulawesianum) (Figs. 24 – 25) and enlarged and flattened hind trochanters (not enlarged in H. sulawesianum). Another similar species, H. celebense, can be easily distinguished by yellow metasternum. The pair of appendages on the second ventrite in male of H. bosi sp. nov. (Fig. 19) is shorter and narrower than in other Sulawesian species.	en	Bezděk, Jan (2008): A review of the genus Hoplasoma (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Galerucinae) from Sulawesi, Indonesia, with the description of H. bosi sp. nov.
