Redescription
Total length. 4.60–4.90 mm (mean 4.74 mm; n = 4).
Head. Very finely punctuated, yellowish, shiny. La- brum and mandible blackish. Antenna slender, extended to the middle of elytron, entirely yellowish ( Fig. 42A View Fig ). Third antennomere slightly longer than second; ratio length of second to third antennomere 0.75–1.00 (mean 0.88); ratio length of third to fourth antennomere 0.38– 0.44 (mean 0.41; Fig. 42B View Fig ).
Thorax. Pronotum very finely punctuated, nearly parallel-sided, shiny, entirely yellowish. Pronotal width 1.40–1.45 mm (mean 1.41 mm), ratio length to width 0.64–0.66 (mean 0.65). Scutellum, meso- and metathorax blackish. Elytra entirely yellowish, basal margin, humerus, basal one-fourth of lateral margin, a stripe beyond humerus, and basal one fourth of suture black, given this colouration a “saddle-like” structure ( Figs 41b View Fig , 42A View Fig ). Elytral length 3.60–3.80 mm (mean 3.71 mm), maximal width of both elytra together 2.50–2.70 mm (mean 2.63 mm), ratio of maximal width of both elytra together to length of elytron 0.70–0.72 (mean 0.71). Legs yellow.
Abdomen. Yellowish.
Male genitalia. Not known.
Female genitalia. Spermatheca with small spherical nodulus. The middle part is long, cornu short ( Fig. 42C View Fig ). The two pairs bursa sclerites of nearly equal size, both with strong spines ( Fig. 42D View Fig ).
Diagnosis. Monolepta putri looks most similar to M. kuninghitam sp. nov. Both species have yellowish elytra with black basal and subhumeral margins. Head and pronotum are yellowish, and mouthparts are black in both species. The differences between M. putri and M. kuninghitam sp. nov. are the yellow antenna of M. putri , while it is black in M. kuninghitam sp. nov. Pronotum in M. putri is broader (ratio length to width 0.64–0.66) than in M. kuninghitam sp. nov. (0.71), and the shape of spermatheca are different. That of M. putri is with spherical nodulus, while in M. kuninghitam sp. nov., spermatheca is very small (42C), most similar to the presumably closer related M. bifasciata , M. rubra , and M. rufipennis (5D, 8D, 37D).
Distribution. Only known from Bali ( Fig. 30 View Fig ).
