The new species has distinct elytral markings which do not match any existing Trachycyrtus species in the Philippines. It bears a superficial resemblance in body shape to Metapocyrus (Trachycyrtus) chevrolati (Waterhouse, 1843) (Type locality: Philippine Islands [Luzon]), but differs in shape and color of elytral markings. Metapocyrus (T.) gibbicollis (Faust, 1895) (TL: N. Luzon) shares the same body shape, but differs in lacking any pronotal colored scales, and any elytral marking, but a thick colored band of scales at the base of the elytra.</p><p>Description. Male.</p><p>Dimensions: LB: 6.9–9.1 (HT: 7.0 mm; â: 7.9); LR: 1.2–1.9 (1.8 mm; â: 1.6); WR: 1.0–1.3 (1.0 mm; â: 1.2); LP: 2.9–3.4 (2.9 mm; â: 3.0); WP: 2.9–3.5 (2.9 mm; â: 3.0); LE: 3.6–5.4 (3.6 mm; â: 4.6); WE: 3.0–3.6 (3.0 mm; â: 3.3). N=10</p><p>Body integument reddish brown except head, rostrum, and tarsus black. Body surface, rostrum, head, legs and underside matte.</p><p>Head dorsal surface with sparse yellow-green and turquoise round scales interspersed with cream-colored pubescence; lateroventral side below the eye with metallic turquoise elliptical scales interspersed with adpressed colored piliform scales; forehead between eyes flattish with distinct midline groove; eyes medium-sized and feebly convex, barely protruding on the lateral outline of head.</p><p>Rostrum moderately punctured and rugose except apical parts with a blunt V-shaped ridge dorsally, lateral sides basally with shallow pit-like depression below dorsolateral edge, longer than wide (LR/WR:1.8), dorsum with adpressed light blue piliform scales on basal half, sparse pubescence near apex, lateral surface with adpressed pubescence which is longer apically, and anterolateral surface with whitish and yellowish long setae; transverse basal groove deep and distinct; dorsum with distinct median shallow furrow reaching a little over basal half; lateral sides widened at base then gradually narrowed towards middle and terminating in very weakly widened apex. Antennal scape longer than funicle, sparsely covered with adpressed white pubescence, funicle with suberect white pubescence. Funicular segments I and II of the same length, segments III–VII as long as wide; club sub-ellipsoidal.</p><p>Prothorax subglobular, weakly tapered towards basal and apical margin, as long as wide (LP/WP: 1.0), granulate, covered with metallic yellow-green round scales which become denser laterally, interspersed with very minute reclined pubescence; widest before middle, moderately convex on dorsal surface.</p><p>Elytra ovate (LE/WE:1.18), longer than wide, slightly wider and moderately longer than prothorax (WE/WP: 1.17, LE/LP: 1.41), with irregular weak punctures and minute tubercles; dorsum moderately convex, dorsal contour highest at middle, lateral contour evenly arcuate, widest at middle, apex with minute sparse, white, fine setae, apical declivity gradual. Each elytron with the following scaly markings of metallic yellow-green and turquoise contiguous round scales: a) two basal circular spots, one near the suture and one near the lateral margin, b) two circular spots in the middle, one near suture and one near the lateral margin, c) one circular spot on apical third, and d) sub-elliptical patch from the middle towards apical third on lateral margin, at times confluent with the circular spot on apical third.</p><p>Legs with strongly clavate femora, covered with adpressed white setae. Tibiae covered with white adpressed piliform scales except along inner edge with suberect long brownish setae, weakly serrate along inner edge with few protruding teeth. Fore and mid tibiae with mucro at apex. Tarsomeres pubescent. Coxae covered with reclining colored piliform scales interspersed with white setae.</p><p>Abdomen with ventrites covered with long whitish pubescence.</p><p>Male genitalia and endophallus as shown in Figure 3 A–E.</p><p>Female. Dimensions: LB: 8.4–9.7 (â: 8.8). LR: 1.2–1.6 (â: 1.4). WR: 1.1–1.4 (â: 1.25). LP: 2.6–3.1 (â: 2.8). WP: 2.6–3.2 (â: 2.8). LE: 5.4–6.6 (â: 5.9). WE: 3.5–4.4 (â: 3.8). N=7</p><p>The female differs from the male due to slightly larger dimensions (â LB ♂ / â LB ♀: 0.89); elytra with small lateral tubercles just below the humerus, parasutural curved setae along the declivity pointing towards the apex and arranged in 3–4 rows, elytral apex elongate; last ventrite with semispherical concavity.</p><p>Etymology. The new species is named after Dr. Clare Baltazar for her contribution to Philippine entomology. She was the first Filipina entomologist and was bestowed the title National Scientist in 2001.</p><p>Distribution. Metapocyrtus (Trachycyrtus) baltazarae is known so far from Cagayan Valley specifically Cagayan and Nueva Vizcaya.</p><p>Comments. It seems interesting to point out that the morphology of the endophallus, in specimens coming from populations distant from each other by about 200 km is completely overlapping as can be seen in Fig. 3D (male from Baggao, Cagayan Prov.), and Fig. 3E (male from Kayapa, Nueva Vizcaya Prov.). In our opinion, this data confirms the importance of the morphology of the everted endophallus as a species-specific diagnostic characteristic.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/033A984A1D45D868FF77FBBAFAA9DEA1	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

All paratypes with additional red label : PARATYPE / Metapocyrtus (Trachycyrtus) siargaonon / BOLLINO &amp; CABRAS, 2023.</p><p>Diagnosis. The only species of the subgenus Trachycyrtus present in the Great Mindanao PAIC (Pleistocene Aggregate Island Complex, including the current islands of Bohol, Samar, Leyte, Mindanao, and other nearby smaller islands) that is similar to Metapocyrtus (Trachycyrtus) siargaonon is M. (T.) microspinosus Schultze, 1925 (Type locality: Bucas Grande, Socorro). Metapocyrtus (T.) siargaonon can be distinguished from M. (T.) microspinosus by the pronotum (barrel-shaped in siargaonon, subglobular in microspinosus) and the apex of the female elytra (with a small rounded projection in siargaonon, with a short and broad but acutely pointed spine at the apex of both elytra in microspinosus).</p><p>Description. Male.</p><p>Dimensions: LB: 6.2–7.4 (HT: 6.2 mm; â: 6.7). LR: 1.0–1.4 (1.2 mm; â: 1.2). WR: 1.0–1.2 (1.0 mm; â: 1.1). LP: 1.9–2.6 (1.9 mm; â: 2.2). WP: 2.3–3.0 (2.3 mm; â: 2.6). LE: 3.9–4.9 (3.9 mm; â: 4.4). WE: 3.1–4.0 (3.1 mm; â: 3.6). N=10</p><p>Body integument black. Body surface, rostrum, head, and underside matte.</p><p>Head dorsal surface with few metallic light brown round scales interspersed with few sub-adpressed bristles; lateroventral side below the eye with metallic cerulean piliform scales; forehead between eyes weakly bulging with distinct midline groove; eyes medium-sized, feebly convex.</p><p>Rostrum smooth, glossy, with scattered dimples, slightly longer than wide (LR/WR:1.2), dorsum with few metallic light brown or green round scales, and reclined short light bristles; lateral surface with longer adpressed light bristles; transverse basal groove deep; distinct U-shaped longitudinal groove along midline reaching middle; lateral sides moderately broadened apicad. Dorsal profile convex, more pronounced in the apical third. Antennal scape shorter than funicle, reaching the hind margin of eye, sparsely covered with adpressed whitish setae, and funicle with suberect dark setae. Funicular segment I slightly shorter than II, segments III–VI as long as wide, segment VI slightly longer than III–VI; club sub-ellipsoidal.</p><p>Prothorax barrel-shaped, widest just anterior to midpoint, narrower at anterior edge than at the posterior edge, with round, opaque light hazel scales interspersed with shiny black semispherical granules, round scales slightly denser in lateral portion, while shiny granules are confined to the central part of the dorso-lateral area. Dorsal profile slightly and evenly convex.</p><p>Elytra ovate (LE/WE: 1.25), nearly as wide as and longer than prothorax (WE/WP: 1.14; LE/LP: 1.56), weakly granulate, with short sparse reclined bristles; dorsum strongly convex, dorsal contour highest roughly at middle, lateral contour evenly arcuate, apically to the middle, apex rounded, and strong apical declivity. Elytra with round, matte light brown scales interspersed with semispherical glossy black granules, similar to the pronotum.</p><p>Legs with clavate femora, covered with reclining very pale sky-blue bristles; tibiae wrinkled and covered with very pale sky-blue bristles, outer edge of mid and hind tibiae with sky-blue small round scales; inner edge weakly serrate with few protruding teeth. Fore and mid tibiae with mucro at apex. Tarsomeres pubescent. Coxae with adpressed light bristles.</p><p>Abdomen with ventrites with sparse adpressed minute light bristles.</p><p>Male genitalia as shown in Fig. 3 F–G.</p><p>Female. Dimensions: LB: 7.1–9.0 (â: 7.7). LR: 1.1–1.4 (â: 1.2). WR: 1.1–1.5 (â: 1.25). LP: 2.0–2.4 (â: 2.1). WP: 2.0–2.9 (â: 2.6). LE: 5.1–6.5 (â: 5.5). WE: 3.8–4.6 (â: 4.1). N=10.</p><p>Females, in addition to the usual secondary sexual characteristics such as shorter hind femora and convex first ventrites, differ from males in their larger average dimensions (â LB ♂ / â LB ♀: 0.87), much wider elytra compared to the pronotum (â WP/ â WE: 0.38), and the elytral apex with a small and smooth protrusion.</p><p>Etymology. The term “Siargaonon” (inhabitant of Siargao in Filipino) refers to the population of the new species found on the island of Siargao, where it appears to be more abundant and widespread than on nearby islands.</p><p>Notes on distribution. Metapocyrtus (Trachycyrtus) siargaonon is known so far from the Islands of Siargao, Bucas Grande and Dinagat, where it can be locally common.</p><p>Note on taxonomy. We tentatively place this species in the subgenus Trachycyrtus, however, the species shares characteristics with both Trachycyrtus and Sclerocyrtus . As the genus Metapocyrtus badly needs revision with many ill-defined subgenera, the subgeneric placement of this species will be re-evaluated with the upcoming revision of the genus.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/033A984A1D47D86DFF77F932FEEDDF9C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
