038A87C4FFA4FF9EF05B9104FCD0BDBA.taxon	discussion	The Laccophilus javanicus species group was erected by Guignot (1959) for a single African species L. flavopictus Régimbart, 1889. Although Guignot was apparently aware of Oriental species, he never listed them. Consequently, the group was adopted and modified by Brancucci (1983), who defined this species group as follows: Surface of pronotum and elytra with simple reticulation, composed entirely of large polygonal meshes. Very large species (body length 3.4 – 5.1 mm), of very broad and depressed shape. Elytra brown to black, with pale bands and other markings. Another characteristic of the group is: Prosternal apophysis relatively short and lanceolate; posterior margin of apical ventrite rounded in both sexes. Brancucci (1983) assigned nine Oriental species distributed from India, through continental Southeast Asia, east to the Sunda Islands, to the L. javanicus - group. More recently, Balke et al. (1998) described a tenth species from Kalimantan. In the present work, we adopt the concept of the group from Brancucci (1983) and consider it to be exclusively Oriental; Afrotropical Laccophilus flavopictus is removed from the L. javanicus group, as it does not seems to be closely related to Oriental species (O. Biström, pers. comm.). At present, the Laccophilus javanicus species group comprises 18 species: Laccophilus aurofasciatus Vazirani, 1972 – India (Kerala, Tamil Nadu) Laccophilus auropictus Régimbart, 1899 – India (Karnataka, Tamil Nadu), Myanmar (Tenasserim) Laccophilus ceylonicus Zimmermann, 1919 – India (Maharashtra, Orissa), Sri Lanka Laccophilus elegans Sharp, 1882 – India (Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Nagaland, Orissa, West Bengal) Laccophilus girardi Brancucci, 1983 – Malaysia (Sabah) Laccophilus hendrichi, new species – Myanmar, Thailand, Laos Laccophilus jaechi, new species – Cambodia, Thailand Laccophilus javanicus Régimbart, 1899 – Indonesia (Java, Bali, Lombok) Laccophilus kalimantanensis, new species – Indonesia (Kalimantan) Laccophilus komareki, new species – China (Guangdong, Guangxi) Laccophilus mahakamensis Balke, Mazzoldi & Hendrich, 1998 – Thailand, Malaysia (Sarawak), Indonesia (Kalimantan) Laccophilus mazzoldii, new species – Laos, Thailand Laccophilus nusatenggaraensis, new species – Indonesia (Flores, Sumba, Sumbawa, Timor) Laccophilus schillhammeri, new species – Myanmar Laccophilus stastnyi, new species – Malaysia (Sarawak) Laccophilus tobaensis Brancucci, 1983 – Indonesia (Sumatra) Laccophilus tonkinensis Brancucci, 1983 – China (Hainan), Laos, Vietnam Laccophilus wittmeri Brancucci, 1983 – China (Yunnan), Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam	en	Hájek, Jiří, Brancucci, Michel (2015): A taxonomic review of the Oriental Laccophilus javanicus species group (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae).

Meshes mostly complete, inner space often with several (1 – 3) small punctures. Each elytron with indistinct, sutural, discal and lateral row of large serial setigerous punctures. Ventral part reticulated with fine elongate meshes. Prosternal apophysis short and lanceolate, narrowly bordered. Abdominal ventrites with numerous oblique grooves and several large setigerous punctures, lateral margin bordered. Apical ventrite rounded posteriorly, with numerous large setigerous punctures and transverse grooves on disc. Male pro- and mesotarsomeres 1 – 3 weakly dilated with bundle of adhesive setae on ventral side. Claws of protarsi and mesotarsi simple and equal. Male genitalia: Median lobe of aedeagus in lateral view as in Fig. 23. Female genitalia: Similar to male; pro- and mesotarsomeres not dilated. Variability. Specimens of the type series vary considerably in extent and shape of the elytral colour pattern, especially those from Vietnam and Thailand (Koh Samui), which we therefore remove from the type series. Measurements (N = 40): Body length 3.8 – 4.4 mm (mean value 4.2 mm, holotype 3.9 mm); width 2.2 – 2.5 mm (mean value 2.3 mm, holotype 2.2 mm).	en	Hájek, Jiří, Brancucci, Michel (2015): A taxonomic review of the Oriental Laccophilus javanicus species group (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae).

038A87C4FFAEFF97F0EE93A4FA71BE29.taxon	description	Description. Colouration: Head and pronotum testaceous, elytra brown with extensive testaceous pattern consisting of broad basal band reaching nearly midlength of elytra, and broad preapical band often continuing to elytral apex (cf. Fig. 5). Appendages and ventral part testaceous. Surface structures and sculpture: Head reticulation simple, composed of large irregular polygonal meshes, which are very superficially impressed. Frons between eyes, and clypeus with several large punctures. Reticulation of pronotum similar to that of head, but meshes somewhat larger. Pronotum along margins and in posterior angles with numerous large setigerous punctures. Reticulation of elytra simple, consists of large polygonal meshes similar to that of pronotum, but even more superficially impressed and barely perceptible; meshes often incomplete. Sutural row of punctures reduced to few punctures preserved mostly near base; discal and lateral rows of punctures present, but lateral discal row and lateral row barely perceptible. Ventral part reticulated with fine meshes. Prosternal apophysis short and lanceolate. Abdominal ventrites with numerous oblique grooves and several large setigerous punctures, lateral margin bordered; apical ventrite rounded posteriorly, on disc with several medium sized setigerous punctures. Male pro- and mesotarsomeres 1 – 3 very weakly dilated with bundle of adhesive setae on ventral side. Claws of pro- and mesotarsi simple and equal. Male genitalia: Median lobe of aedeagus in lateral view as in Fig. 26. Female genitalia: Similar to male; pro- and mesotarsomeres not dilated. Variability. The specimens of the type series vary in colouration of elytra: the ground colour of some specimens is light brown, making the testaceous pattern almost imperceptible and the elytra appear unicolourous.
