Holotype: Male (TUA), “[Vietnam] Mt. Lang Biang Lam Dong Prov. 17 February 2011 Hiroaki Kojima leg.”</p> <p>Description. Male. Body oval, strongly convex dorsally, shiny, closely covered with yellowish-white setae. Coloration of head, pronotum, scutellar shield, elytra, and ventral part of thorax black; antennae, legs, elytral maculations, and abdominal ventrites yellowish-brown; elytral maculations consisting of two pairs of oblong spots and oblique zigzag stripe, forming semicircular.</p> <p>Head large, flat dorsally, finely punctate; eyes large, prominent; the distance between eyes about 2.9 times as long as the maximum diameter of an eye. Antennae (antennomeres X and XI missing in holotype) slightly serrate in antennomeres IV–IX. Pronotum transverse, slightly convex dorsally, punctate as in head; anterior margin straight; lateral and posterior margins gently arcuate; antero- and posterolateral corners obtuse; PW / PL 2.46. Elytra strongly convex dorsally, widest at the middle, closely and finely punctate; humeral parts slightly projecting dorso-laterally; EL/EW 1.13; EL/ PL 3.71; EW/ PW 1.34; TL/EW 1.43. Hind wings developed.</p> <p>Tegmen (Fig. 5) oblong, with arcuate basal margin, widest at basal 1/4; parameres sparsely punctate, with obtuse apices. Penis (Figs. 6, 7) long, about 0.93 times as long as tegmen; pala oblong, widest near the base, straightly tapered apically; ventral projection long, anchor-shaped; dorsal projection long, bifid in apical part.</p> <p>Female. Unknown.</p> <p>Measurement. Holotype: TL 3.30 mm; PW 1.72 mm; PL 0.70 mm; EL 2.60 mm; EW 2.30 mm.</p> <p>Remarks. This is species is distinct in having unique elytral maculations (unicolored or with simple spots in the elytra of the other species of this genus) and anchor-shaped ventral projection.</p> <p>Etymology. The species name is given for Dr. Hiroaki Kojima (TUA) who is a specialist of Curculionidae and the collector of the holotype.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03EF6B0DB005FFB5FC57F845706AFA56	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Laos, Thailand (new record).</p> <p>Remarks. Mescirtes wasungenensis is proposed as a replacement name for for Prionocyphon (Orientoprionocyphon) herthae Klausnitzer, 2009, a junior secondary homonym of Scirtes herthae Klausnitzer, 2005, now that both species are placed in the genus Mescirtes Motschulsky, 1863. This replacement name is authored by B. Klausnitzer only and should be cited as Mescirtes wasungenensis Klausnitzer in Yoshitomi &amp; Klausnitzer.</p> <p>The specimens collected from Thailand (Figs. 2, 3) have different elytral maculation pattern from that of Laosian specimens (Fig. 4). After close examination of male genitalia, we concluded that these are infraspecific variation.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03EF6B0DB004FFB6FC17F8DA769BFB5B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
