Length 4.3–4.9 mm, width 1.6–1.9 mm. General color (Figs 2 A–2C) yellowish brown; antennae blackish brown; hypomera, metathoracic ventrites, and abdomen dark brown; frons, vertex, pronotum, and elytra metallic green. Vertex with reticulate microsculpture. Antennae filiform in males (Fig. 3A), antennomeres III–X apically curved, length ratios of antennomeres I–XI 1.0: 0.3: 0.9: 1.3: 1.4: 1.3: 1.4: 1.4: 1.3: 1.2: 1.4, length to width ratios of antennomeres I–XI 3.0: 1.1: 2.8: 4.0: 4.9: 4.4: 4.7: 4.6: 5.3: 5.2: 5.7; much shorter and slender in females (Fig. 3B), antennomeres III–X straight, length ratios of antennomeres I–XI 1.0: 0.4: 0.6: 0.9: 1.0: 0.9: 0.9: 0.9: 0.8: 0.8: 0.9, length to width ratios of antennomeres I–XI 3.4: 1.8: 2.9: 5.0: 4.8: 4.7: 4.8: 4.5: 4.1: 4.4: 4.1. Pronotum transverse, 1.4x wider than long, disc with reticulate microsculpture, dense, coarse punctures, and one pair of lateral depressions; lateral margin basally narrowed; apical and basal margins subtruncate. Elytra elongate and parallel-sided, 1.8x longer than wide; disc with reticulate microsculpture, dense, coarse punctures, arranged into longitudinal rows, without or with weak longitudinal ridges between longitudinal rows of punctures. Apical margin of abdominal ventrite V in females rounded but slightly depressed at sides (Fig. 3H). Tarsomeres I of front legs swollen in males (Fig. 3I), subparallel in females (Fig. 3J). Penis (Figs 3 C–3E) slender, 8.5x longer than wide; apex lanceolate, with median, shallow, narrow notch, parallel-sided; tectum extremely elongate from apical 1/10 to middle, apically narrowed; straight in lateral view, slightly curved near base; triangular sclerites small; internal sac with one elongate, short endophallic sclerite complex, 0.6x as long as penis, apical piece apically narrowed, basal piece much longer (1.6x) than apical sclerite, dorsal sclerite elongate, apex acute and curved in lateral view. Gonocoxae (Fig. 3F) elongate, slightly broadened subapically, connected from basal 1/3 to apical 1/3; apices narrowly rounded, each gonocoxa with eight setae along outer margin from apex to apical 1/6; with one pair of short lateral processes at basal 2/5. Ventrite VIII (Fig. 3G) longitudinal and well sclerotized; disc with several long setae at sides, and with dense, short setae along apical margin; spiculum extremely slender. Receptacle of spermatheca (Fig. 3K) strongly swollen; pump slender and strongly curved; proximal spermathecal duct deeply inserted into receptacle, broad and short.</p><p>Food plants. Unknown.</p><p>Diagnosis. Theopea aureoviridis adults are similar to those of T. collaris in color and presence of extremely coarse punctures on the elytra. They can be distinguished by the absence of longitudinal ridges on the elytra and the metallic green vertex and pronotum (Figs 2 A–2C) (distinct longitudinal ridges on the elytra and the yellowish brown vertex and pronotum in T. collaris (Figs 2 D–2H)). Males of T. aureoviridis have bifurcate apices of the penis and a single hook-like dorsal sclerite (Figs 3 C–3F) which shared with most of Taiwanese species, but T. collaris is characterized by the truncate, oblique apex of the penis and paired dorsal sclerites (Figs 7 C–7F).</p><p>Distribution.

General color (Figs 2 D–2F) yellowish brown; antennae dark brown; elytra metallic green; vertex and pronotum with metallic green iridescence, strong in some individuals, sometimes darkened and more subdued. Vertex with reticulate microsculpture. Antennae filiform in males (Fig. 7A), length ratios of antennomeres I–XI 1.0: 0.3: 0.8: 0.9: 1.0: 1.0: 1.0: 1.0: 1.0: 0.8: 1.0, length to width ratios of antennomeres I–XI 3.4: 1.5: 3.9: 4.2: 4.9: 4.8: 4.8: 5.0: 5.3: 4.7: 5.7; slender in females (Fig. 7B), antennomeres III–X straight, length ratios of antennomeres I–XI 1.0: 0.3: 0.8: 1.0: 0.9: 0.9: 0.9: 0.9: 0.8: 0.8: 0.8, length to width ratios of antennomeres I–XI 4.0: 1.6: 4.4: 5.5: 5.9: 5.6: 5.6: 5.8: 5.1: 4.7: 5.3. Pronotum transverse, 1.4x wider than long, disc with reticulate microsculpture, dense, coarse punctures, and one pair of lateral depressions; lateral margin basally narrowed; apical and basal margins subtruncate. Elytra elongate and parallel-sided, 2.1–2.2x longer than wide; disc with reticulate microsculpture, dense, coarse punctures, arranged into longitudinal rows, with distinctly longitudinal ridges between longitudinal rows of punctures. Apical margin of abdominal ventrite V in females rounded but slightly depressed near medial area (Fig. 7I). Tarsomeres I of front legs swollen in males (Fig. 7J), subparallel in females (Fig. 7K). Penis (Figs 7 C–7F) extremely slender, 12.3x longer than wide; widest at apex, obliquely truncate in dorsal or ventral view, curved ventrally in lateral view, apically tapering in frontal view; parallel-sided; tectum short from apical 1/10 to 1/4, apically narrowed; medially curved in lateral view; triangular sclerites small; internal sac with one narrow, short endophallic sclerite complex, 0.4x as long as penis, composed of two sclerites, basal piece much longer (1.6x) than apical piece, apical piece with incised apex, dorsal sclerites paired, apices acute. Gonocoxae (Fig. 7G) elongate, slightly broadened subapically, connected from basal 1/3 to apical 1/5; apices narrowly rounded, each gonocoxa with eight setae along outer margin from apex to apical 1/6; with one pair of short lateral processes at basal 2/5. Ventrite VIII (Fig. 7H) longitudinal and well sclerotized; disc with several long setae at sides, and with dense, short setae along apical margin; spiculum extremely slender. Receptacle of spermatheca (Fig. 7L) strongly swollen; pump slender and strongly curved; proximal spermathecal duct deeply inserted into receptacle, broad and short.</p><p>Variation. The elytra of specimens collected in southern Taiwan (Fig. 6B) are brown (Figs 2G, 2H). The metallic green iridescence of the vertex, pronotum, and elytra is widely variable.</p><p>Food plants. Lauraceae: Lindera akoensis and Neolitsea parvigemma (Fig. 1C).</p><p>Diagnosis. Theopea collaris adults are similar to those of T. aureoviridis in color and presence of extremely coarse punctures on the elytra. They can be distinguished by the presence of longitudinal ridges on the elytra and yellowish brown vertex and pronotum with more or less metallic green iridescence (Figs 2 D–2H) (reduced longitudinal ridges on the elytra and metallic green vertex and pronotum in T. aureoviridis (Figs 2 A–2C)). Males of T. collaris are characterized with the obliquely truncate apex of the penis and paired dorsal sclerites (Figs 7 C–7F) which differ from those of other species in possessing bifurcate apices of the penis and single hook-like dorsal sclerite.</p><p>Distribution. South Taiwan (Kaohsiung and Pingtung counties) below 1000 m (Fig. 6B). Adults appears from March to July, but most (86%) are present during April and May.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03928782A842FFC81E8971ADFC99F9E3	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Meso- and metathoracic and abdominal ventrites dark brown or blackish brown, with metallic green iridescence; dorsum metallic green, blue, purple, or bronze; prosternum and hypomeron dark brown; legs pale yellow, sometimes basal 4/5 to base, and tarsi darkened (Figs 8 A– 8I). Vertex with reticulate microsculpture. Antennae filiform in males (Fig. 9A), antennomeres III–X straight, length ratios of antennomeres I–XI 1.0: 0.3: 1.0: 1.4: 1.7: 1.7: 1.8: 1.9: 2.0: 1.8: 1.6. length to width ratios of antennomeres I–XI 2.9: 1.1: 3.0: 4.4: 6.3: 6.7: 6.9: 7.9: 8.8: 8.1: 5.9; much shorter in females (Fig. 9C), length ratios of antennomeres I–XI 1.0: 0.4: 0.8: 1.0: 1.0: 0.9: 0.9: 0.9: 0.9: 0.8: 0.9, length to width ratios of antennomeres I–XI 3.3: 1.9: 3.8: 5.1: 5.1: 4.6: 5.2: 4.9: 4.9: 4.5: 5.1. Pronotum transverse, 1.2x wider than long, disc with reticulate microsculpture, dense, coarse punctures, and one pair of lateral depressions; lateral margin basally narrowed; apical and basal margins subtruncate. Elytra elongate and parallel-sided, 2.0x longer than wide; disc with reticulate microsculpture, dense, coarse punctures arranged into longitudinal rows, and weak longitudinal ridges between longitudinal rows of punctures. Apical margin of abdominal ventrite V in females truncate, with convex projection at middle (Fig. 9I). Tarsomeres I of front legs elongate swollen in males (Fig. 9J), subparallel in females (Fig. 9K). Penis (Figs 9 D–9F) extremely slender, 10.8x longer than wide; apically narrowed, apex with median, shallow, narrow notch, parallel-sided; tectum extremely elongate from apical 1/10 to basal 1/3, apically narrowed; straight in lateral view, slightly curved near base; triangular sclerites small; internal sac with elongate endophallic sclerite complex, 0.7x as long as penis, composed of two sclerites, basal piece much longer (1.6x) than apical piece, apical sclerite with acute apex, dorsal sclerite with apex acute and hook-like in lateral view. Gonocoxae (Fig. 9G) elongate, slightly broadened subapically, connected from basal 1/3 to apical 1/4; apices narrowly rounded, each gonocoxa with eight setae along outer margin from apex to apical 1/6; with one pair of short lateral processes at basal 2/5. Ventrite VIII (Fig. 9H) longitudinal and well sclerotized; disc with several long setae at sides and near apical margin, and with dense, short setae along apical margin; spiculum extremely slender. Receptacle of spermatheca (Fig. 9L) strongly swollen; pump slender and strongly curved; proximal spermathecal duct deeply inserted into receptacle, broad and short.</p><p>Variation. Theopea irregularis is an extremely variable species. In addition to color variability, a number of morphological characters vary greatly, including the reticulate microsculpture on the dorsum (some with distinct reticulate microsculpture but reduced in some others), longitudinal ridges on the elytra (some with distinct longitudinal ridges (Figs 8A, 8G) but reduced in some others (Figs 8C, 8H, 8I)), punctures on the pronotum (coarse in north Taiwan (Fig. 8G) but reduced in central and south Taiwan (Figs 8D, 8H, 8I)). Some have yellow prosterna and hypomera. The yellow area may even extend into lateral margins of the pronotum (Figs 8E, 8F) in the specimens from north and central Taiwan. Smaller males have relatively shorter and straighter antennae (Fig. 9B) (length ratios of antennomeres I–XI 1.0: 0.3: 1.0: 1.2: 1.4: 1.4: 1.3: 1.4: 1.4: 1.2: 1.4. length to width ratios of antennomeres I–XI 2.9: 1.5: 3.4: 4.3: 5.4: 5.3: 5.1: 6.8: 6.8: 6.0: 7.3). Darker individuals have black legs and head, except the occiput (Fig. 8G). One distinct color pattern occurs to high altitude (more than 2500m): in males the general color is darker than usual, the elytra are metallic purple, the pronotum and occiput metallic blue, and legs are black or yellowish brown (Fig. 8H); some females are similar to males but others have the elytra, pronotum and occiput metallic green (Fig. 8I).</p><p>Diagnosis. Theopea irregularis adults are similar to those of T. kanmiyai with indistinct longitudinal ridges on the elytra. They can be distinguished by the more slender antenna in males and color pattern that the elytra, pronotum, and vertex are metallic green or blue in both sexes (Fig. 8). Males of T. irregularis have a relatively longer basal piece (1.6x longer than apical piece) and large dorsal sclerite of the endophallus (Figs 9 D–9E); they differ from males of T. kanmiyai, which possess a shorter basal piece (0.6x longer than apical piece) and small dorsal sclerite (Figs 12 C–12D).</p><p>Food plants. Betulaceae: Alnus formosana; Lauraceae: Lindera erythrocarpa .</p><p>Distribution. Endemic to Taiwan. Theopea irregularis is a widespread species (fig. 10A). Adults appear from lowland to high mountains (0–3000 m) during spring through autumn (March to October). Most adults occur between 1000~ 2500 m elevation (88%) and April to July (90%). Most adults found in lowlands (below 1000 m) were from northern Taiwan.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03928782A843FFD11E897315FE38FD27	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

General color (Figs 11 A–11F) yellowish brown; antennae brown or dark brown; occiput usually dark brown with metallic iridescence; pronotum brown or dark brown with metallic iridescence; elytra brown but may be metallic blue laterally or entirely metallic blue; metathoracic ventrites metallic blue; sometimes hypomeron, tibiae, and tarsi darker. Vertex with reticulate microsculpture. Antennae filiform in males (Fig. 12A), antennomeres IV–VIII slightly curved, length ratios of antennomeres I–XI 1.0: 0.3: 0.9: 1.2: 1.5: 1.4: 1.6: 1.6: 1.6: 1.5: 1.5, length to width ratios of antennomeres I–XI 2.8: 1.2: 2.6: 3.6: 4.5: 4.3: 4.9: 5.4: 5.4: 6.8: 6.6; antennomeres straight and more slender in females (Fig. 12B), length ratios of antennomeres I–XI 1.0: 0.3: 0.8: 1.0: 1.1: 1.0: 1.0: 1.0: 1.0: 0.9: 1.0, length to width ratios of antennomeres I–XI 3.7: 1.8: 3.3: 5.2: 4.8: 4.6: 5.3: 5.0: 5.2: 4.9: 5.4. Pronotum transverse, 1.3x wider than long, disc with one pair of lateral depressions, reduced reticulate microsculpture, and with sparse, fine punctures; lateral margin basally narrowed; apical and basal margins subtruncate. Elytra elongate and parallelsided, 2.0–2.2x longer than wide; disc with reticulate microsculpture, dense, coarse punctures, arranged into longitudinal rows, and with weak, longitudinal ridges between longitudinal rows of punctures. Apical margin of abdominal ventrite V in females (Fig. 12H) truncate but expanded, with convex projection medially, and slightly depressed or truncate at middle. Tarsomeres I of front legs swollen in males (Fig. 12I), subparallel in female (Fig. 12J). Penis (Figs 12 C–5E) extremely slender, 9.3x longer than wide; apex lanceolate, with deep, narrow median notch, parallel-sided; tectum extremely elongate from apical 1/10 to basal 2/5, apically narrowed; straight in lateral</p><p>view, curved near base; triangular sclerites small; internal sac with elongate endophallic sclerite complex, 0.5x as long as penis, composed of two sclerites, basal piece much shorter (0.6x) than apical piece, apical piece with acute apex, dorsal sclerite minute, apex acute. Gonocoxae (Fig. 12F) elongate, slightly broadened at apical 1/6, connected from basal 1/3 to apical 1/4; apices narrowly rounded, each gonocoxa with eight setae along outer margin from apex to apical 1/6; with one pair of short lateral processes at basal 2/5. Ventrite VIII (Fig. 12G) longitudinal and well sclerotized; disc with several long setae at sides and near apical margin, and with dense, short setae along apical margin; spiculum extremely slender. Receptacle of spermatheca (Fig. 12K) strongly swollen; pump slender and strongly curved; proximal spermathecal duct deeply inserted into receptacle, broad and short.</p><p>Variation. Females display greater color variation than males. Although color patterns of some females are similar those of males (Figs 11E, 11F), most have entirely metallic blue or bronze elytra, and yellow occiputs and pronota (Fig. 11G). A distinct color pattern occurs to populations in Tahanshan (大漢山). Adults have entirely yellow bodies except elytra with metallic iridescence in both sexes (Fig. 11H).</p><p>Diagnosis. Theopea kanmiyai adults are similar to those of T. irregularis based on indistinct longitudinal ridges on the elytra. They can be distinguished by the much broader, curved antenna in males, and sexually dimorphic color pattern that the elytra are yellowish brown with metallic green sides, pronotum and vertex metallic green in males; elytra entirely metallic green, prothorax and head yellow in females (Fig. 11). Males of T. kanmiyai have a relatively short basal piece (0.6x longer than apical piece) and small dorsal sclerite of the endophallus (Figs 12 C–12D), which are different from those of T. irregularis . The latter has a longer basal piece (1.6x longer than apical piece) and large dorsal sclerite (Figs 9 D–9E).</p><p>Food plants. Iteaceae: Itea parviflora; Schisandraceae: Illicium arborescens; Betulaceae: Alnus formosana .</p><p>Distribution. Endemic to Taiwan. It is a widespread but less common species (only 160 specimens available for study) (Fig. 10B). Adults appear at various elevations from June to October. This species is abundant locally in Tahanshan (大漢山) (55%). Most (95%) adults appear from June to August.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03928782A85AFFD51E89732BFC12FC3A	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Pronotum transverse, 1.4x wider than long, disc with reticulate microsculpture, dense, coarse punctures, and one pair of lateral depressions; lateral margin basally narrowed; apical and basal margins subtruncate. Elytra elongate and parallel-sided, 1.8x longer than wide; disc with reticulate microsculpture, dense, coarse punctures arranged into longitudinal rows, and distinct, longitudinal ridges between longitudinal rows of punctures. Apical margin of abdominal ventrite V in females rounded but with a small notch at middle (Fig. 14H). Tarsomeres I of front legs swollen in males (Fig. 14I), subparallel in females (Fig. 14J). Penis (Figs 14 C–14E) extremely slender, 9.0x longer than wide; apex narrowly rounded, with medial, shallow, narrow notch; sides asymmetrical, expanded to right at apical 1/3, tectum elongate from apical 1/10 to basal 1/3, narrower apically; almost straight in lateral view, moderately curved near base; triangular sclerites small; internal sac with one narrow, short endophallic sclerite complex, 0.5x as long as penis, composed of two sclerites, basal piece subequal to apical piece in length, apical piece with acute apex, dorsal sclerite well developed, 1.6X longer than basal piece, apex acute in lateral view, ventral sclerites present.

Both paratypes of Theopea coerulea are designated as paratypes of T. laosensis sp. nov.</p><p>Description. Length 5.3–6.6 mm, width 2.0– 2.5 mm. General color (Figs 17 A–17C) metallic blue; mouth parts brown or dark brown; antennae blackish brown except two basal antennomeres; legs yellow, but apices of tibiae, and tarsi darkened. Vertex with reticulate microsculpture. Antennae filiform in males (Fig. 18A), antennomeres III–VIII slightly curved, length ratios of antennomeres I–XI 1.0: 0.3: 0.8: 1.1: 1.1: 1.1: 1.1: 1.1: 1.0: 0.9: 1.0, length to width ratios of antennomeres I–XI 3.2: 1.2: 3.1: 4.1: 4.1: 4.2: 4.3: 4.1: 3.8: 3.9: 4.8; slender in females (Fig. 18B), antennomeres III–X straight, length ratios of antennomeres I–XI 1.0: 0.4: 0.9: 1.2: 1.2: 1.1: 1.1: 1.0: 1.0: 0.9: 1.1, length to width ratios of antennomeres I–XI 3.0: 1.9: 3.5: 5.0: 5.3: 5.1: 5.4: 5.5: 5.3: 5.2: 6.2. Pronotum transverse, 1.3x wider than long, disc with one pair of lateral depressions, reticulate microsculpture, and with dense, coarse punctures; lateral margin basally narrowed; apical and basal margins subtruncate. Elytra elongate and parallel-sided, 1.9x longer than wide; disc with reticulate microsculpture, dense, coarse punctures, arranged into longitudinal rows, with distinctly longitudinal ridges between longitudinal rows of punctures but weaker in males. Apical margin of abdominal ventrite V in females (Fig. 18I) subtruncate, but slightly depressed near sides. Tarsomeres I of front legs swollen in males (Fig. 18J), subparallel in females (Fig. 18K). Penis (Figs 18 C–18F) slender, 8.0x longer than wide; apex rounded, with medial, shallow, narrow notch, parallel-sided; tectum extremely elongate from apical 1/10 to basal 1/3, apically narrowed; straight in lateral view, slightly curved near base; triangular sclerites small; internal sac with elongate endophallic sclerite complex, 0.6x as long as penis, composed of two sclerites, basal piece much shorter (0.4x) than apical apiece, apical sclerite apically tapering, asymmetric; dorsal sclerite with apex acute and hook-like in lateral view; ventral sclerites present. Gonocoxae (Fig. 18G) elongate, slightly broadened at apical 1/6, connected from basal 1/3 to apical 1/5; apices narrowly rounded, each gonocoxa with eight setae along outer margin from apex to apical 1/6; with one pair of short lateral processes at basal 2/5. Ventrite VIII (Fig. 18H) longitudinal and well sclerotized; disc with several long setae at sides and near apical margin, and with dense, short setae along apical margin; spiculum extremely slender. Receptacle of spermatheca (Fig. 18L) strongly swollen; pump slender and strongly curved; proximal spermathecal duct deeply inserted into receptacle, broad and short.</p><p>Variability. The apical pieces of endophallic sclerite complex are more slender in males from Vietnam, Yunnan, Guandong, and Guanxi (South China); moreover, the dorsal sclerites are straight and longer (Fig. 18D).</p><p>Diagnosis. Males of Theopea laosensis sp. nov. are similar to those of T. hainanensis sp. nov. with the symmetrical penis, shorter basal piece, and presence of ventral sclerites but former have an asymmetrical and twisted apical piece (Figs 18 C–18F) (symmetrical apical piece in T. hainanensis sp. nov. (Figs 16 B–16D)).</p><p>Etymology. The new species is named for one of the type localities.</p><p>Food plants. Unknown.</p><p>Distribution. China: Guandong, Guanxi, Yunnan; Laos, Vietnam.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03928782A855FFE31E8974B1FC42FBDF	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Ventrite VIII (Fig. 19G) longitudinal and well sclerotized; disc with several long setae at sides and near apical margin, and with dense, short setae along apical margin; spiculum extremely slender. Receptacle of spermatheca (Fig. 19K) strongly swollen; pump slender and strongly curved; proximal spermathecal duct deeply inserted into receptacle, broad and short.</p><p>Variation. Some specimens from southern Taiwan have metallic green bodies (Figs 4H, 4I). Specimens at high altitudes (more than 2000 m) have deep metallic purple bodies and dark brown legs with black tibiae and tarsi (Fig. 4G).</p><p>Diagnosis. Males of T. sauteri Chûjô are similar to those of T. geiseri sp. nov. based on absence of ventral sclerites (present in others), longer basal piece (subequal or short than apical piece in others) but are characterized by the dorsal sclerite separate from the basal and apical pieces (Figs 19 C–19E).</p><p>Food plants. Rosaceae: Prunus campanulata; P. phaeosticta; Moraceae: Ficus sarmentosa var. nipponica; Fagaceae: Pasania hancei var. ternaticupula f. naticupula; Lythraceae: Lagerstroemia subcostata; Actinidiaceae: Actinidia callosa; Myricaceae: Myrica rubra .</p><p>Distribution. Endemic to Taiwan. Theopea sauteri is one of most widespread species of the genus in Taiwan. Adults appear at various elevations (Fig. 10C) and almost year round except January and December. Most adults were collected in lowlands (0~ 1500 m) (88%) and from April to July (87%).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03928782A868FFE51E8971CCFC19FE7A	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

General color (Figs 18 D–18F) metallic blue or purple; mouth parts brown or dark brown; antennae yellowish brown but five apical antennomeres more or less darkened; legs yellow, but tarsomere III and apex of tarsomere V darkened. Vertex with reticulate microsculpture. Antennae filiform in males (Fig. 20A), antennomeres III–V slightly curved, length ratios of antennomeres I–XI 1.0: 0.3: 0.7: 1.0: 1.0: 1.0: 1.0: 0.9: 0.9: 0.8: 1.0, length to width ratios of antennomeres I–XI 3.0: 1.7: 2.6: 3.3: 3.4: 3.5: 3.5: 3.4: 3.3: 3.5: 4.6; slender in females (Fig. 20B), antennomeres III–X straight, length ratios of antennomeres I–XI 1.0: 0.3: 0.6: 0.9: 0.9: 0.8: 0.8: 0.7: 0.7: 0.7: 0.9, length to width ratios of antennomeres I–XI 3.8: 1.7: 3.3: 4.8: 4.5: 4.2: 4.2: 4.3: 4.3: 4.4: 4.9. Pronotum transverse, 1.3x wider than long, disc with one pair of lateral depressions, reticulate microsculpture, and with dense, coarse punctures; lateral margin basally narrowed; apical and basal margins subtruncate. Elytra elongate and parallel-sided, 1.8x longer than wide; disc with reticulate microsculpture, dense, coarse punctures, arranged into longitudinal rows, and with distinct, longitudinal ridges between longitudinal rows of punctures, these ridges weaker in males. Apical margin of abdominal ventrite V in females (Fig. 20H) subtruncate, but slightly depressed near sides. Tarsomeres I of front legs swollen in males (Fig. 20I), subparallel in females (Fig. 20J). Penis (Figs 20 C–20E) extremely slender, 10.0x longer than wide; apex narrowly rounded, with medial, shallow, narrow notch; sides asymmetrical, expanded to right at apical 1/3, tectum extremely elongate from apical 1/20 to basal 3/10, narrower apically; almost straight in lateral view, moderately curved near base; triangular processes small; internal sac with one slender endophallic sclerite complex, 0.7x as long as penis, composed of two sclerites, basal piece much shorter than sclerotized apical piece, apical piece with apical half membranous, dorsal sclerite extremely elongate, 3.6x longer than basal piece, apex acute in lateral view; ventral sclerites present. Gonocoxae (Fig. 20F) elongate, slightly broadened at apical 1/6, connected from basal 1/3 to apical 1/5; apices narrowly rounded, each gonocoxa with seven setae along outer margin from apex to apical 1/6; with one pair of short lateral processes at basal 2/5. Ventrite VIII (Fig. 20G) longitudinal and well sclerotized; disc with several long setae at sides and near apical margin, and with dense, short setae along apical margin; spiculum extremely slender. Receptacle of spermatheca (Fig. 20K) slightly swollen; pump broad and strongly curved; proximal spermathecal duct deeply inserted into receptacle, broad and short.</p><p>Diagnosis. Males of T. sekerkai sp. nov. have asymmetrical penis similar to those of T. coerulea . They differ in possessing a membranous apex of the apical piece and shorter dorsal sclerite, 3.6x longer than basal piece in T. sekerkai sp. nov. (Figs 20 C–20E) contrary to well sclerotized apical piece and shorter dorsal sclerite, 1.6x long than basal piece in T. coerulea (Figs 14 C–14E).</p><p>Etymology. This new species is dedicated to Lukáš Sekerka (Curator, NMPC), who assisted this study in many ways.</p><p>Distribution. Central and South Laos.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03928782A86EFFEB1E89774DFD9FFE2F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.
