03D201255A7C4565FF26FAB687652476.taxon	diagnosis	DIAGNOSIS. The new species in size, colouration and punctation patterns is quite similar to Carpelimus (Trogophloeus) corticinus (Gravenhorst, 1806), a widely distributed Palaearctic species. C. (T.) danangensis sp. n. also resembles the latter species in the presence of massive sclerotized structures in the apical part of the internal sac of the aedeagus, but differs in having shorter elytra and markedly larger, less distinct punctation on the head, pronotum and elytra. It can be readily distinguished from C. corticinus and other representatives of the “ corticinus ” group (Gildenkov, 2015) by the structure of the aedeagus and by the absence of arch-shaped sclerotized structures at the base of the internal sac (Figs 3, 4).	en	Gildenkov, M.

03D201255A794563FF26FED2852E23E3.taxon	etymology	ETYMOLOGY. From Latin “ novus ” (new). I have retained the name that was initially given to this species by Max Bernhauer (see labels).	en	Gildenkov, M. Yu. (2020): TWO NEW SPECIES OF THE GENUS CARPELIMUS LEACH, 1819 (COLEOPTERA: STAPHILINIDAE: OXYTELINAE) FROM VIETNAM.

03D201255A794563FF26FED2852E23E3.taxon	diagnosis	DIAGNOSIS. The new species belongs to the “ notumus ” group: Carpelimus (Trogophloeus) notumus Gildenkov, 2019; C. (T.) vilisus Gildenkov, 2019; C. (T.) plenus Gildenkov, 2019; C. (T.) ibelensis Gildenkov, 2020 and C. (T.) irianensis Gildenkov, 2020. Carpelimus (T.) novus sp. n. is most similar in size, colouration and punctation patterns to C. plenus from the Philippine Islands, but differs from C. plenus in the oval depressions in the central part of the disc being separated by the medial ridge; it also differs in having slightly more prominent eyes and longer antennae. Carpelimus (T.) novus can readily be distinguished by the structure of the aedeagus and by more developed, sclerotized tooth-like structures in the central part of its internal sac (Figs 5, 6). The new species differs from all species of the group in its geographical distribution and is clearly distinguished by the structure of the aedeagus (Figs 5, 6 vs Gildenkov, 2019 a: figs. 5, 6, 8 – 11; Gildenkov, 2020: figs. 10 – 13).	en	Gildenkov, M.
