The length of the third antennomere in this species is less than half length of fourth (0.3–0.4 ×) this ratio is slightly more than 0.5 in the similar species Melanotus kurdestanicus sp. n., M. fusciceps and M. zagrosensis Platia 2016. It can also be separated from M. fusciceps and M. zagrosensis by the longer antennae that exceed the apicis of the posterior angles of pronotum by 1.5-2 antennomeres. It is one antennomere or less than one antennomere in M. fusciceps and M. zagrosensis respectively. The aedeagus and median lobe in M. borumandi sp. n. is not as slender and elongated as M. kurdestanicus sp. n. The length of the sclerified part of the bursa copulatrix in M. borumandi is almost as long as (or often clearly shorter than) the length of the ovipositor while it is clearly longer in M. fusciceps.</p> <p>Description. Male. Body and legs unicolorous, rufous to rufo-testaceus, covered with dense and testaceous pubescence; blackened along marginal edges of contours and striae.</p> <p>Body length 12.2–16.5 mm, width 3.5–5.0 mm.</p> <p>Head as wide as anterior margin of pronotum near outer margin of eyes; covered with dense, umblicate punctures with interspaces mainly narrower than their own diameter; frons declining anteriorly, flat between eyes without a distinct depression, anterior margin thickened and slightly sinuate or straight at middle and protruding sub-horizontally above clypeus; antennae exceeding the apices of posterior angles of pronotum by one and a half to two antennomeres, antennomeres serrated from fourth to tenth; second and third moderately subconical, the latter slightly longer than half the length of second (second antennomere 0.7 × as long as third one, third antennomere slightly shorter than half length of fourth antennomere third antennomere 0.3–0.4 × as long as fourth) (Figure 6b).</p> <p>Pronotum slightly (1.1 ×) broader than long, moderately and regularly convex, covered with coarse punctures, rather uniformly distributed, umbilicate, with interspaces mainly narrower than their own diameter, sides arcuate in posterior third, posterior angles slightly divergent with subparallel lateral sided, angles with raised carinae, carina longer than the angles, exceeding posterior third and sometimes reaching half the length of the lateral sides of pronotum.</p> <p>Scutellum shield-shaped, almost 1.5 × longer than wide, flat, punctures coarse and pubescent.</p> <p>Elytra 2.8–3.1 × longer than pronotum and as wide as or slightly (1.1 ×) wider at widest point, moderately convex; sides subparallel in anterior third, moderately narrowing to apex, striae regularly punctured, interstriae moderately and finely punctured.</p> <p>Last abdominal sternite entire and rounded along apical margin.</p> <p>Tarsomeres simple, first to fourth gradually decreasing in length, apical tarsomere slightly longer than the first and two times longer than the penultimate tarsomere.</p> <p>Aedeagus as in Figure 6c, moderately elongated, length 2.0– 2.2 mm, median lobe rather thickened, longer than parameres (by less than 1.25 times) (Figure 6c), narrowing from the midlength and pointed at the apex, posterior angles of parameres apically rounded.</p> <p>Female. Similar to males except as follows: body length 14.0– 18.4 mm, width 4.4–5.4 mm; antenna reaching apices of posterior angles of pronotum, second antennomere half or slightly longer than half the length of the third, third antennomere half as long as fourth; apical tarsomere almost as long as first tarsomere.</p> <p>Female genitalia as in Figure 4. Bursa copulatrix covered with sclerotized spines inside the memberanous wall; sclerified part of the bursa shorter than the length of the ovipositor.</p> <p>Etymology. This species is named in honour of Hooshang Borumand (1936–2009), the first curator and the founder of the Coleoptera collection at the Hayk Mirzayans Insect Museum.</p> <p>Remarks. The localities marked with an asterisk (*) include individuals with some variable morphological features intermediate between M. borumandi sp. n. and M. kurdestanicus sp. n. or M. fusciceps. Some specimens have a more thickened median lobe and are rather parallel sided or have a longer and slimmer median lobe; the ratio of the length of second and third antennomeres is intermediate between M. borumandi sp. n. and M. kurdestanicus sp. n. These specimens are also have fewer coarse punctures on the pronotum and show affinities to M. fusciceps and/or M. kurdestanicus sp. n. in the mentioned diagnostic features.</p> <p>Habitat. Specimens were collected in different habitat types ranging from mountainous oak forest in Arasbaran and Zagross to alluvial plain in the Moghan protected area and to saline land near Urmia lake. Specimens were collected by light trap or Malaise traps that were installed for collecting Hymenoptera and Hemiptera (Fig. 15).</p> <p>Climate types. Semi-arid, cold to cool winters and warm summers.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03BE8789FFFB9778FF47FC64E0A9A016	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The species can be separated from the species in neighboring regions, Reitterelater fulvus Reitter, 1891 and R. kovalenkoi Prosvirov, 2017 by the longer antenna that exceeds the apex of the posterior angles by less than one antennomere while the antenna in none of the mentioned species reaches the apex. It also differs from R. dubius Platia &amp; Cate, 1990 by the acuminate hind angles of the pronotum, the general morphology of the prosternal process and the more elongated parameres.</p> <p>Description. Male. Body uniformly dark, rufo-piceus; scutellum rufous in central part; antennae, legs and ventral side brown to reddish brown; covered with testaceous, semi-recumbent pubescence, rather dense on ventral parts, antennomeres with long and dense pubescence on ventral half.</p> <p>Body length 11.2 mm, width 3.4 mm.</p> <p>Head in outer margin of eyes as wide as anterior margin of pronotum, covered with dense, umbilicate punctures with interspaces narrower than their own diameter; frons pentagonal, declining anteriorly, flat between eyes, anterior margin thickened, prominent at middle, rather triangular and thicker in apex; antennae (Figure 4c) exceeding the apex of posterior angles by less than apical antennomere, antennomeres serrated from fourth to tenth, first antennomere thick, curved and cylindrical, as long as both second and third combined, two latter antennomeres subconical, third 1.3 × longer than second, fourth antennomere 1.3 × longer than both second and third combined and slightly (1.1 times) longer than all serrated antennomeres.</p> <p>Pronotum 1.3 × broader than length, moderately convex, widest behind middle, narrowing anteriorly from middle, very weakly sinuate in posterior third near base of posterior angles; the latter very weakly divergent with two divergent carinae (Figure 4b) (external and internal) on each angle, external carina almost as long as or slightly longer than internal carina, both exceeding the base of angle and reaching to posterior third of lateral side; punctures on disc coarse, umbilicate with intervals mainly narrower than their diameters, denser and rather ovalshape on lateral sides; pronotosternal suture gaping in anterior third; prosternal lobe (collar) short and not covering mouthparts, broadly rounded in anterior margin, the latter thickened and prominent; prosternum rather parallel sided, covering with umbilicated double punctures, larger punctures dense, with interspace narrower than their own diameter, disperse in anterior and lateral portions, smaller punctures with interspace wider than their own diameter, dispersed mainly in posterior and central parts; hypomeron covered with dense and oval-shape punctures dispersed densely except in posterior fourth; prosternal process (Figures 4d,e) (0.7 mm long), exceeding posteriorly as long as diameter of procoxa, roundly dilated between procoxae, rather parallel sided, with a longitudinal carina ventrally, carina smoothly concave and sharply bent at its end, process becoming narrower from apical third and sharply rounded at apex.</p> <p>Scutellum almost 1.4 × longer than wide, shield-shaped, wider apically and narrowing posteriorly, rather convex in anterior margin and rounded in posterior end, flat, punctures coarse and pubescent.</p> <p>Elytra 3.1 × longer than pronotum and as wide as pronotum at its widest point; lateral margins sub-parallel at anterior half and widest at anterior quarter; base slightly narrower than width of pronotum at apices of hind angles, margin of base to shoulders thickened and slightly prominent anteriorly; ninth stria densely and deeply punctured, interstriae with sparse irregular punctures, distinctly smaller than punctures of the stria, also with short irregular and transversal linear impression.</p> <p>Tarsomeres simple, first to fourth decreasing in length, apical tarsomere almost two times longer than penultimate and as long as two-thirds of first tarsomere.</p> <p>Aedeagus as in figures 4f and 4g, length 1.2 mm, elongate; median lobe narrowing anteriorly and pointed at apex, exceeding apices of parameres by more than one-eight of its length.</p> <p>Female. unknown</p> <p>Etymology. The epithet refers to the morphology of the prosternal process that is slim, rather parallel sided with smoothly concave carina in comparison with other similar species with oval sided processes and more concave carinae.</p> <p>Habitat. In a valley of mountainous region covered by Oak forest and near a village with old and large walnut trees.</p> <p>Remarks. The validity of the genus Reitterelater has been discussed by different authors (Chassain 1992; Delnatte et al. 2011; Prosvirov 2017b). Further biological studies or systematic analysis may clarify this taxonomic ambiguity. The genus is new to Iran.</p> <p>Climate types.
