3A1BFE7BFFDADC3E2BEFB699FADAF8AC.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis and remarks. Sticholotis is comprised entirely of Old World species, with most of its diversity in the Oriental Region. The genus was redefined by Ślipi ṅski (2004) while revising the Australian species. Ślipi ṅski (2004) further synonymised Paranesolotis Hoang, 1982 and Nesolotis Miyatake, 1966 with Sticholotis. Wang et al. (2010), working on the Chinese species of Nesolotis, agreed with Ślipi ṅski’s opinion that Paranesolotis is synonymous with Nesolotis, but they still considered Nesolotis a distinct genus within Sticholotidini, removing it from synonymy with Sticholotis. Wang et al. (2010) characterized Sticholotis by the following characters: body rounded and moderately convex; antennae 11 - segmented; prosternal process broad quadrate or subpentagonal, broadening anteriorly and carinate laterally; external margin of elytra distinctly expanded, elytral epipleuron broad and nearly horizontal, indistinctly foveate; protibiae normal.	en	Tomaszewska, Wioletta, Łączyński, Piotr (2010): A contribution to Sticholotis Crotch from Myanmar (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae: Sticholotidini).

Lectotype (here designated), male: “ Bhamo Birmania, Fea VIII 1886 / Gorham type / Typus / bipunctatus Gorh. / O. bipunctatus Gorh. typus! / Syntypus, Orcus bipunctatus Gorham, 1895 / Museo Civico di Genova ” (MCSN). Note. The designation of the lectotype for O. bipunctatus Gorham, 1895, is made to fix the taxonomic status of this species. Two syntypes of O. bipunctatus represent two distinct species, easily distinguished externally and by male genitalia. The syntype with two black spots on each elytron, perfectly matching original diagnosis, has been chosen here as the lectotype of O. bipunctatus. The other syntype with four black spots on each elytron will be designated as the neotype of S. dohrni later in this paper.	en	Tomaszewska, Wioletta, Łączyński, Piotr (2010): A contribution to Sticholotis Crotch from Myanmar (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae: Sticholotidini).

Punctures on pronotum 1.5 – 2.5 diameters apart, rather fine and moderately deep; punctures on elytra slightly coarser and deeper than those on pronotum, 1.0 – 2.0 diameters apart; surfaces between elytral and pronotal punctures polished and shiny; dorsum apparently glabrous. Ventral surface dark reddish brown with meso- and metaventrite, especially along middle and anterior part of abdominal ventrite I, infuscate. Ventral mouthparts and antennae yellowish brown; legs slightly darker. Head (Figs. 57, 59) flat medially, finely punctate and moderately densely setose. Clypeus weakly arcuate anteriorly, scarcely reflexed at anterior edge. Eyes moderately large, rather coarsely faceted, dorsally separated by about 3 times eye width; interocular distance nearly 0.65 times head width; inner margins of eyes slightly rounded, convergent anteriorly. Maxilla (Figs. 58, 59) with terminal palpomere about 2.3 times longer than wide, parallel-sided along basal half of its length, strongly obliquely truncate towards apex; labial terminal palpomere narrowed and acuminate, distinctly narrower than penultimate palpomere. Antenna (Fig. 58) 11 - segmented with narrow 3 - segmented club. Prothorax (Figs. 57, 62) about 0.9 times base of elytra; pronotum with groove extending parallel along base, curving anteriorly near hind angles; pronotal hypomeron and prosternum smooth; anterior lobe of prosternum distinctly bordered with anterior edge emarginate medially; prosternal process (Figs. 59, 60) subtruncate at apex, without distinct lateral carinae, moderately coarsely and rather sparsely punctate, punctures with moderately long setae. Mesoventral intercoxal process (Fig. 61) about 1.35 times mesocoxal diameter. Metaventrite with complete discrimen, moderately coarsely and sparsely punctate; postcoxal lines curved and complete. Elytral epipleuron broad with maximum width at metaventrite, narrowing posteriorly but complete to apex, without distinct foveae. Wings well-developed. Abdomen (Figs. 63, 64) with 5 ventrites; ventrite I along mid line about 3.0 times longer than ventrite II; postcoxal line of first ventrite curved posteriorly and laterally, closely paralleling posterior margin, incomplete laterally; postcoxal disk microreticulate and sparsely punctate (Figs. 63, 65); ventrite V triangularly produced posteriorly; abdominal segment VIII in female as in Fig. 66. Female genitalia as in Fig. 67. Proctiger (T 10) well developed, somewhat triangular in shape; ovipositor sclerotized, coxites triangularly oval, entirely separated; styli absent; spermatheca not observed. Male not known.	en	Tomaszewska, Wioletta, Łączyński, Piotr (2010): A contribution to Sticholotis Crotch from Myanmar (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae: Sticholotidini).
