Diagnosis: Similar to mashunus due to the sparse, deeply angled tubercles. This species can be distinguished from mashunus by its more distinct, non-confluent tubercles, which terminate closer to the humerus (Fig. 3 A).

Frons finely punctate (2 – 5 diameters apart); frontoclypeal suture course, with deep groove in middle; apical clypeal margin broadly shallowly emarginate to non-emarginate; clypeus projected toward front of body; apical margin of labrum shallowly emarginate to nonemarginate medially, little to no punctation, margin of labrum densely covered with yellowish, acuminate setae. Eye comma-shaped, with reduced ventral part, strongly emarginate around epistomal base; with deep groove on temporal side. Mentum trapezoidal, not fully filling buccal cavity; longitudinal groove at middle on ventral surface; anterior margin emarginate at middle. Submentum semicircular, concave basally. Antenna slender, moderately covered in recumbent acuminate goldish setae; antennomere 2 short, equal to 0.2 of antennomere 3 length; antennomere 4 about half of antennomere 3 length; length of antenna roughly equal to pronotal length. Prothorax: Pronotal lateral margin rounded, well visible. Pronotum widest just posterior of middle. Disc dull, impunctate; anterior fully marginated, posterior margin absent at middle, anterior apices strongly produced. Hypomeron convex, without submarginal groove, impunctate but weakly rugulose in places. Prosternal process rounded in lateral view with small projection by coxa, longitudinally depressed in middle (ventral view). Anterior margin of prosternum straight. Pterothorax: Scutellum densely covered with microtubercles. Elytra widest at middle to anterior third, slightly rounded; disc impunctate, not covered by tubercles; lateral part (below humerus) covered with tubercles (organized in ~ 5 – 6 more or less regular rows on each elytron); declivous portion on each elytron with additional 1 – 2 tuberculate rows with occasional scattered microtubercles; elytral margin not visible dorsally except in apical quarter, tuberculate rows extend more or less to lateral margin. Elytral slope relatively steep, elytral apex flattened. Epipleura, impunctate, not tuberculate, clearly distinguishable from neighbouring portion of elytra, widely enfolding fifth ventrite. Mesoventrite with deep median groove and elevated sides. Metaventrite impunctate, with scattered setae. Lateral regions of metaventrite (between coxae) extremely short. Metaepisternal suture abbreviated posteriorly. Legs: covered with dense, gold setae. Procoxa exposed basally. Apex of protibia with prominent denticle on outer margin, lateral carina terminating at middle to basal third; median spur 0.66 to equal length of outer lateral spur. Spurs on meso- and metatibiae of equal length. Tarsi narrowed laterally. Abdomen: Ventrites moderately to weakly punctate and weakly rugulose ventrite 5 with submarginal sulcus at anterior half. Terminalia: Due to scarcity of available specimens, terminalia were not dissected; however, the apical part of the coxites is visible externally in one specimen and is identical to that of the other species of this genus (Fig. 6 A – H). Etymology: This species is dedicated to Maxwell V. L. Barclay, Curator and Collections Manager of Coleoptera at the Natural History Museum in London (BMNH).	en	Kamiński, Marcin J., Gearner, Olivia M., Kanda, Kojun, Swichtenberg, Kali, Purchart, Luboš, Smith, Aaron D.

This species, while round, is much more elongate than T. tschinkeli and lacks the lip-like margin of the prosternum characteristic of T. tschinkeli. The tubercles in this species are smaller and less prominent than those of T. tuberculipennis and T. makuya. Description: Length 25.0 mm, width of pronotum 8.0 mm and elytra 12.0 mm.

Diagnosis: The presence of microtubercles between the tuberculate rows on the elytra of this species distinguishes it from the following species: T. mashunus, T. mulleri, T. schultzei, T. vialis and T. waclawae. This species can be differentiated from T. tschinkeli by the lack of a prominent lip-like structure on the margin of the prosternum, and the elytra, while round, are more elongate than T. tschinkeli. The tubercles in this species are taller and less dense than those of T. tuberculipennis and T. herero, with those of T. tuberculipennis being nearly confluent at times.

Elytra widest in basal third, rounded laterally; disc impunctate, not covered by tubercles; lateral part (below humerus) covered with tubercles (organized in more or less regular rows) and microtubercles (2 – 4 diameters apart); remaining lateral part of elytra visible only ventrally, impunctate, without tubercles and microtubercles. Elytral slope steep, densely covered with microtubercles (1 – 4 diameters apart), with sparsely distributed tubercles, elytral apex flattened. Epipleura, impunctate, not tuberculate, clearly distinguishable from neighbouring portion of elytra, widely enfolding fifth ventrite. Mesoventrite with deep median groove and elevated sides. Metaventrite impunctate, densely setose. Lateral regions of metaventrite (between coxae) extremely short. Metaepisternal suture abbreviated posteriorly. Legs: Covered with dense, goldish setae. Procoxa exposed basally. Apex of protibia with prominent denticle on outer margin, lateral carina terminating in basal third; median spur reduced, reaching 0.5 of outer lateral spur length. Spurs on meso- and metatibiae of equal length. Tarsi narrowed laterally. Abdomen: Ventrites 1 – 4 medially densely covered with goldish setae moderately punctate and weakly rugulose; ventrite 5 densely punctate and setose; ventrite 5 without submarginal sulcus, densely punctured (~ 0.5 diameters apart), each puncture with single goldish setae. Terminalia: Aedeagus as in Figure 1 E. Ovipositor as in Figure 6 C – H. Etymology: This new species is dedicated to the memory of the first author’s grandmother, Wacława Kamińska (born on 5 November 1927 in Bartniki, Poland, died on 29 September 2010, in Warsaw, Poland).

BA5587AF63644A0392AA6AD42858F957.taxon	description	Koch (1953 b) described the subspecies P. sellatus uriai as differing from P. sellatus sellatus by the following characters: a more elongate body, a slenderer pronotum with less prominent punctation and tubercles less dense and organized in rows (as opposed to denser and more irregular in sellatus). However, when comparing specimens, these differences appear minor and not sufficient to justify classifying these as separate subspecies. NOTES ON PHANEROTOMEINA: GENUS CHILIARCHUM KOCH (SEPIDIINI: PHANEROTOMEINA) l s i d u r n: l s i d: z o o b a n k. o r g: a c t: C B 7 1 2 3 7 1 - B 6 0 4 - 4 D 1 B- 93 A 2 - 1258 C 6920572 Type species: Moluris (Phanerotoma) bertolonii Guérin-Méneville (by original designation). Diagnosis: From Koch (1954): submarginal area of the sides of the pronotum, and often that of the elytra, with either a broad stripe of white to yellow subtomentose hairs along the lateral carina or with densely conglomerated micropunctation or granulation with associated scattered short, fine, squamulated bristles; pronotum with two prebasilar impressions at or near the posterior angles, filled with pale subtomentose hairs or densely micropunctured with scattered short, fine bristles; males with a reddish brown brush of hairs on the outer edge of the upper surface of the mesotibiae, sometimes extending to the tibial base.
