VII | local collector leg” (DUBC). Paratypes: 1 female – “ Philippines | Panay isl. | Antique VII. 2017 ” (cJW); 1 male, 1 female – “ Philippines, W.Visayas, Panay island, M. Madia­as, VI.2018 ” (cRS).</p> <p>Diagnosis. This new species belongs to “ fasciatus ” – group, characterized by clypeus without setae, and by elytra without tumescence at mid length. By its elytral pattern it is similar to T. pseudosemperi (Mindoro isl.) and T. negrosicola (Negros isl.), but this new species can be easily distinguished by its entirely black pronotum.</p> <p>Description. Body length 11.0­ 11.5 mm, mean = 11.1.</p> <p>Head and pronotum black with light gold luster; elytra black with gold luster and orange transverse bands. Labrum, mouth parts and legs orange.</p> <p>Head without microsculpture, temples not protruding, slightly convergent towards pronotum; clypeus without setae; frons wide, frontal grooves shallow, gradually curved; eyes very protruding; each supra­orbital plate with one seta. Labrum</p> <p>(Figs. 6–7) relatively long; with extremely shallow microsculpture, almost isodiametric on the disc and slightly transverse on sides; with nine sub marginal setae and ten teeth: with six short frontal central teeth’s, with rounded apices in four central and slightly pointed in lateral ones, as well as a pair of slightly longer and narrower latero­apical teeth and longer and pointed latero­basal teeth on both sides. Mandibles orange with dark brown tooth’s. Antennae relatively long; blackish brown, scape and pedicel yellow, except blackish dorsal side.</p> <p>Pronotum as long as wide, smooth; midline barely visible; anterior and posterior grooves glabrous. Aedeagus (Fig. 8) relatively large; with a wide, gradually curved basal bulb; ventral side of median lobe straight; apical third moderately downturned, apex relatively wide and rounded; internal sack with big and thick flagellum, hookshaped at the base.</p> <p>Distribution. Philippines, Panay island.</p> <p>Etymology. Species is named after our friend and colleague Dr. Arvids Bar š evskis, a coleopterist in Daugavpils University (Latvia) in appreciation of his contribution to the study of coleopterofauna of Philippines.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/038E93166609FFEED646FEA29465FDCE	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Elytral maculation black with weak gold luster, consisting of elongate spot along suture in basal third of elytra and wide transversal band, interrupted on suture; the front edge of the band is beveled towards the middle, the posterior edge is straight and transverse. Without microsculpture. Sutural tooth on apices of elytra relatively long and acute, exterior angle of elytra obtuse.

This new species can be easily differentiated from all known species of the genus by its unusual shape of labrum (Figs. 6–7), apically strongly inflated, with downturned apical margin. From other species known from the island Mindanao, it also differs by the short sutural tooth of elytra and by golden green color of elytral pattern, which in the rest of species is purple.</p> <p>Description. Body length 11 mm in holotype.</p> <p>Head and pronotum black with light gold luster; elytra black with gold luster and orange transverse bands. Labrum, mouth parts and legs orange.</p> <p>Head without microsculpture, temples not protruding, slightly convergent towards pronotum; clypeus without setae; frons wide, frontal grooves shallow, gradually curved; eyes protruding; each supra­orbital plate with one seta. Labrum (Figs. 6– 7) elongate; without microsculpture; apical part strongly inflated and apical margin downturned; with 9 submarginal setae and 12 teeth: with 4 short frontal marginal teeth, two large and wide double teeth on both side (submarginal setae between them missing), as well as a pair of long and pointed latero­apical teeth and small latero­basal teeth on both sides. Mandibles orange with dark brown teeth. Antennae relatively long; blackish brown, scape and pedicel yellow, except blackish dorsal part.</p> <p>Pronotum as long as wide, smooth; midline indistinct; anterior and posterior grooves glabrous.</p> <p>Elytra relatively short (EL/EW = 1.85), parallel sided, black with gold luster. Elytral maculation orange, consisting of wide basal band; transversal middle spot, not reaching lateral margin and suture; and relatively narrow apical band. Without microsculpture. Sutural tooth on apices of elytra right and short, exterior angle of elytra obtuse and widely rounded. Epipleura and scutellum orange.</p> <p>Pro­ and mesosternum; pro­, mes­ and metepisternum black. Metasternum black with brown central part and narrow posterior margin. The rest of ventral sternites orange brown.</p> <p>Legs uniformly orange, except apex of third tarsomere and 4–5 tarsomeres entirely black. Male unknown.</p> <p>Distribution. Known only from type locality in Mindanao island.</p> <p>Etymology. The name derived from the Latin, insolitus, meaning ‘unusual, odd, queer’, in reference to the somewhat atypical appearance of the labrum.</p> <p>Key to the new species (modification and supplementation of the key by Zettel and Pangantihon 2017: 101, 102)</p> <p>1.
