03F4878E4231400822D9FDE6FB08FDFE.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This species is similar in elytral maculation to H. hainanensis Chen & Ren, H. sororius Poorani, H. amamensis Miyatake and H. kyushuensis Miyatake, but H. hainanensis differs from H. minutus by having incomplete abdominal postcoxal lines, H. sororius by differently shaped male genitalia, and from the remaining two species H. minutus can be separated by the coarse punctation of the meso-, meta- and abdominal ventrites and the region on ventrite 1 surrounded by the abdominal postcoxal lines, and by the distinctly truncate posterior margin of ventrite 5. In general shape, the male genitalia of H. minutus resemble those of H. guimeti (Mulsant) and H. nigripes Miyatake, but both species have the penis guide subtriangularly shaped, not broadened in apical part as in the new species. From other species of Horniolus the new species can be separated by its elongate, parallel sided, and flattened, not spherical, body in lateral view.	en	Szawaryn, Karol, Větrovec, Jaroslav (2020): A new species of Horniolus Weise with remarks on the systematic position of the genus (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae).

03F4878E4235400E22D9FE8EFAD6FD46.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Miyatake (1976) described this species from South Vietnam (Dalat). Here we present a new record from North West Malaysia. Our specimen possesses slightly different coloration than in original description: its pronotum is entirely black and the posterior elytral maculae are more transverse, whereas the holotype as drawn by Miyatake (1976) has a broad pale band at the anterior margin and the posterior elytral macula is more oval.	en	Szawaryn, Karol, Větrovec, Jaroslav (2020): A new species of Horniolus Weise with remarks on the systematic position of the genus (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae).
