Levette)" (CASEY 1905). The species was subsequently attributed to Lathrobium (BERNHAUER &amp; SCHUBERT 1912) and thus became a junior secondary homonym of Lathrobium integrum SHARP 1876 . SCHEERPELTZ (1933) replaced Lathrobiella integra Casey with the nomen novum Lathrobium inviolatum.</p><p>One female syntype was located in the collections of the USNM. It has a lectotype label by Watrous attached to it, but this designation was never published. An examination of this specimen revealed that it belongs to the genus Pseudolathra CASEY 1905 . Hence, Pseudolathra inviolata represents a new combination. Lathrobiella integra CASEY remains an invalid name, since it was found to be still congeneric with Lathrobium integrum SHARP 1876 (see below). The examined syntype was identified as P. integra (CASEY) rather than P. inviolata (SCHEERPELTZ) because it was returned before the holotype of P. integra (SHARP) became available for study.</p><p>In P. inviolata, the supra-marginal line of the elytra is very fine, reaching neither anterior nor posterior margins of the elytra in lateral view. The abdomen is rather matt, due to very dense punctation and pronounced microsculpture.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03FDC655732BFF84FCECFB7EFC74DB2B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The possibility that the specimens from North India belonged to a different species was not ruled out, since slight differences in the aedeagal morphology were observed. However, the Indian material was collected a long time ago, so that these differences were tentatively attributed to artefacts resulting from long-term storage. The recently collected male from Meghalaya (now the holotype), however, provides evidence that the specimens from North India indeed represent a different, albeit very similar species. In P. separanda, the aedeagus is apically more membranous, narrower, and distinctly and narrowly excised, whereas in P. transversicollis, it is apically more strongly sclerotized and broadly concave in ventral view.</p><p>D i s t r i b u t i o n a n d n a t u r a l h i s t o r y: Pseudolathra separanda is known from two localities in North India, one in Uttaranchal and one in Meghalaya (Map 4).

In general appearance (coloration, punctation, etc.), it is similar to P. nigerrima (Himalaya) and P. sagittata ASSING 2012 (Thailand), together with which it would key out at couplet 4 in the key in ASSING (2012a). It differs from the former by slightly smaller size, the paler coloration of the mid- and hindlegs, the coarser punctation of the forebody, the relatively smaller and more transverse head, the fewer punctures of the dorsal series of the pronotum ( P. nigerrima: 1+5), and the fewer punctures composing the series on the elytra ( P. nigerrima: each series usually composed of at least 10 punctures). From P. sagittata, P. transversiceps is distinguished by the somewhat broader body (more transverse head; pronotum not distinctly oblong; elytra broader), the darker forelegs and antennae, the longer and more slender antennae, the coarser punctation of the head, the pronotal punctation pattern ( P. sagittata: dorsal series composed of 1+5 punctures), and the more distinct microsculpture of the abdomen. For illustrations of P. nigerrima and P. sagittata see ASSING (2012a).</p><p>D i s t r i b u t i o n a n d n a t u r a l h i s t o r y: Thetypelocality is situated in North Vietnam, near the border with Laos (Map 4).
