03DE87D4FFD3FFB6FF7EE8D1FA7841B9.taxon	description	Description (modified from Jäch (1995) and Ivie (2005 )). Elongate, fusiform, elaterid-like in general appearance. Body colouration varies from brownish-red to dark brown or blackish. Most of the body surface is covered with recumbent setation. Setation usually bicoloured, dark setae of the same colour as the cuticle, and pale setae which makes typical body pattern “ ocellation ” in most species. Colouration and density of setation could vary in some species, e. g. E. funebris (Figs. 51 – 53). Measurements. Body length 14 – 38 mm., width: 5.0 – 14.2 mm. Females generally larger than males. Head. Nearly prognathous. Frons between eyes with shallow depression, on surface with numerous irregularly distributed large setigerous punctures. Ocelli and fronto-clypeal suture absent. Position of suture is marked by transverse depression. Compound eyes large, hemispherical, entirely fine facetted. Antennae angled in front of eyes, under frontal ridge. Antenna with 11 antennomeres. Scape robust, clubbed, pedicel short, almost globular. Antennomeres 3 – 10 flattened, distinctly serrate, covered with densely distributed microtrichia and several setae. Last antennomere rectangular, or widened (especially in male) to trapezoidal or drop shaped (see Figs. 35 – 50). If last antennomere widened, then usually with numerous, most probably sensory tubercles on ventral side. Female antenna generally less modified, shorter and more slender. Labrum free, subquadrate, widest anteriorly, basal membrane wide and clearly visible. (Fig. 1). Mandible elongate, outer side regularly rounded with coarse setigerous punctures, apex scooplike; inner side with distinct mola, and prostheca with brush of long setae (Fig. 2). Maxilla with separate, similarly-shaped, elongate lacinia and galea, each with apical portion membranous and covered with brush of curved setae (Fig. 3). Maxillary palps tetramerous, palpomere 1 very short, palpomeres 2 – 4 clubbed, elongate; apical palpomere often widened, distally truncated and with deep excavation. Labium with mentum subtriangular, twice as wide as long; ligula extending anteriad to palpigers, medially divided into broad membranous lobes that bear brush of short to long setae that reach anterior edge of closed mandibles (Fig. 4). Labial palps trimerous, palpomeres clubbed, elongate; apical palpomere often widened, distally truncated and with deep excavation. Gular sutures distinct, separate. Cervical sclerites distinct. Thorax. Pronotum transverse, trapezoidal. Anterior and lateral margins distinctly bordered. Lateral margin regularly rounded, angled or bisinuate (see Figs. 15 – 18), basal margin bisinuate and crenulate. Pronotal disc concave or slightly depressed dorsoventrally with two shallow circular depressions. Dorsal surface covered with fine to large setigerous punctures, usually sparsely distributed on disc, and densely in lateral parts. Prosternum transverse, prosternal process elongate with almost parallel sides and rounded apex (Fig. 7). Lateral margins bordered in basal two thirds of its length. Procoxal cavity open posteriorly. Scutellum almost semicircular with anterior margin straight or crenulate, and posterior margin rounded. Its surface covered with setigerous punctures, usually much densely near margins. Elytron elongate, laterally bordered, with apical margin rounded, and short sutural spine. Humeral bulge well developed. Elytral surface with large setigerous punctures arranged into fairly distinct rows (9 – 12 rows between suture and humeral bulge). Very fine punctures are inserted irregularly between large punctures. Epipleura wide basally, sinuously narrowing to one third of elytral length, then very narrow to the apex. Metathoracic wing well developed with typical elongate, vertically closed radial cell (Fig. 6). Mesothorax and metathorax connate (Fig. 8). Most of surface covered with setigerous punctures. Punctures are usually fine and sparse medially and become somewhat larger and denser laterally. Mesoventrite transverse, narrow, with deep groove medially to receive prosternal process. Mesocoxal cavity closed. Metaventrite without transverse suture. Discrimen (median suture) long and deep. Metaventral process projects between mesocoxae and is fused with mesoventrum. Legs with transverse coxae (mesocoxae rather triangular). Trochantin large and exposed in procoxae and mesocoxae. Coxal posterior face excavated (especially metacoxae) to receive femora in retracted position. Trochanter triangular, offset, strongly attached to femora. Femur and tibia elongate. Tibia apically with two short calcars. Tarsi pentamerous. Tarsomere 5 almost as long as previous four tarsomeres together. All tarsomeres (predominately 1 – 4) with short setal brushes on ventral surface. Claws robust, equal. Plurisetose empodium well developed (Fig. 5). Abdomen. Five ventrites (sternites 3 – 7). Ventrites 1 – 3 connate, but separate by distinct sutures. Ventrite 1 with long and acute process separating metacoxae. Its anterior margin excavated and bordered to close metacoxal cavity posteriorly. All ventrites densely covered with setigerous punctures, and laterally with fairly distinct, often smooth tubercles indicated insertion of tergo-sternal muscles (Fig. 9). Sternite 8 in female with long anterior median strut and pair of slightly shorter anterolateral struts (Fig. 11). Sternite 9 in male elongate, rounded apically, tergite 9 divided fully into two lateral lobes (Fig. 10). Tergite 10 well developed. Male external genitalia. Aedeagus well sclerotised, trilobate, symmetrical. Phallobase (basal piece) of variable length, incised basally. Median lobe (penis) long, subparallel or lanceolate, usually with pair of basal spines, slightly longer than parameres (subgenus Eulichas) (Fig. 12), or short and stout, distinctly shorter than parameres (subgenus Forficulichas) (Fig. 13). Median lobe divided longitudinally, ventral sac, fibula and corona present. Parameres long and slender (subgenus Eulichas) or short and broad (subgenus Forficulichas), generally with well sclerotised basal apophysis, and ventral subbasal and subapical hooks. Subbasal parameral hooks match to penile basal spines and fix aedeagus closed when retracted. Female external genitalia. Ovipositor elongate, well sclerotised. Paraprocta very long and slender. Coxites divided, with very short, button like articulated styli (Fig. 14).

03DE87D4FFDAFFBCFF7EE92CFF04440F.taxon	description	Description. Habitus elongate, fusiform. Body colouring brown-blackish. Pale part of setation consists of recumbent yellowish setae forming typical ocellations on pronotum, elytra and abdominal ventrites, where setae are darker and sparser (Fig. 51). In some specimens, the pale setae cover uniformly whole dorsal surface (Fig. 52). Measurements. Males: 20 – 23 mm; females: 20 – 28 mm. Head punctation consists of irregularly distributed large setigerous punctures. Punctures sparse on frons, but become somewhat smaller and densely distributed on vertex. Antenna robust, last antennomere 1.88 – 2.33 times as long as wide (Fig. 35), its ventral side smooth with numerous small tubercles. Pronotum transverse, ca. 1.92 – 2.07 times as wide as long. Sides almost regularly rounded in basal half, and skewed and straight anteriorly (Fig. 15). Dorsal surface convex. Punctation consists of moderately large setigerous punctures on the disc, which become coarser and denser laterally. Elytra with numerous longitudinal rows of large setigerous punctures, and very fine interstitial punctures. Ventral part almost uniformly densely punctured with fine punctures. Last abdominal ventrite with indistinct sinuation before apex. Male. Aedeagus with phallobase longer than parameres. Parameres short, parallel and simple, their subbasal and subapical hook well developed. Median lobe narrow, subparallel (Fig. 19). Female. Similar to male in habitus, but on average larger. Antenna shorter and more slender.	en	Hájek, Ji Ř Í (2007): Revision of the genus Eulichas Jacobson, 1913 (Coleoptera: Eulichadidae) I.

03DE87D4FFDAFFBCFF7EE92CFF04440F.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The four specimens from Guangxi (Fig. 53) were listed by Jäch (1995: 370) as “ Eulichas sp. (Guangxi A) cf. funebris et undulata ”. They fit well with the sympatrically occurring typical E. funebris in habitus and body setation, but differ in their body length (males: 25 – 28 mm; female: 32 mm). Also the proportion of the last antennomere (1.68 – 1.80) falls behind the lowest extreme in E. funebris. Finally, parameres are comparatively longer than phallobase, thus more closely resembling E. undulata, than E. funebris. However, mainly because only four specimens are known and E. funebris is a very variable species, I have found no strong argument to refer these specimens to a separate taxon, and instead believe, that the characters mentioned may change allometrically with body length. Collection circumstances. Imagoes collected mostly at light. One specimen from Hong Kong was captured on a tree trunk near the river (M. A. Jäch pers. comm., 2006). The larvae have been collected in a stream with sandy substrate (Jäch 1995).	en	Hájek, Ji Ř Í (2007): Revision of the genus Eulichas Jacobson, 1913 (Coleoptera: Eulichadidae) I.

03DE87D4FFDCFFBEFF7EE9DDFAC84797.taxon	description	Description. Habitus elongate, fusiform. Body colouring brown-blackish in recently collected material, and brownish-red in old specimen from “ Khasia ”. Pale part of setation consists of recumbent yellowish setae forming typical ocellations on pronotum, elytra and abdominal sternites, where setae are darker and sparser (Fig. 54). Measurements. Males: 17 – 20 mm (holotype 20 mm). Head punctation consists of irregularly distributed moderately large setigerous punctures. Punctures sparse on frons, but become somewhat densely distributed on vertex. Antenna robust, last antennomere 2.00 – 2.13 times as long as wide (Fig. 36), its ventral side smooth with numerous small tubercles. Pronotum transverse, ca. 2.10 – 2.18 times as wide as long. Sides almost regularly rounded. Dorsal surface with two shallow depressions. Punctation consists of moderately large setigerous punctures on the disc, which become coarser and denser laterally. Elytra with numerous longitudinal rows of large setigerous punctures, and very fine interstitial punctures. Ventral part almost uniformly densely punctured with fine punctures. Last abdominal ventrite laterally rounded regularly to apex. Male. Aedeagus with phallobase longer than parameres. Parameres short, parallel and simple, their subbasal and subapical hook well developed. Median lobe parallel in basal two thirds of its length and then narrowing shortly to apex (Fig. 20). Female. Unknown. Differential diagnosis. In habitus, the new species is the most similar to E. funebris, from which it should be distinguished by the different shape of the aedeagus. In E. meghalayensis sp. nov. the median lobe is parallel in basal two thirds of its length and then narrowing shortly to apex.	en	Hájek, Ji Ř Í (2007): Revision of the genus Eulichas Jacobson, 1913 (Coleoptera: Eulichadidae) I.

03DE87D4FFC5FFA5FF7EED29FE324392.taxon	description	Description. Habitus elongate, fusiform. Body colouring dark brown. Setation consists of dominant recumbent light brown setae covering most of dorsal surface, thus the colouration of the body seems to be paler than the colour of integument, and grey setae form ocellations on the pronotum and elytra (Fig. 61). On the abdominal sternites, whitish setae predominate over brown ones. Measurements. Male: 21 mm. Head punctation consists of moderately large setigerous punctures. Antenna robust, last antennomere 2.05 times as long as wide (Fig. 40), its ventral side smooth with numerous small tubercles. Pronotum transverse, 2.32 times as wide as long. Sides almost regularly rounded. Dorsal surface convex. Punctation consists of moderately large setigerous punctures, distributed sparsely on the disc, and densely laterally. Elytra with numerous longitudinal rows of large setigerous punctures, and very fine interstitial punctures. Ventral part almost uniformly densely punctured with fine punctures. Last abdominal ventrite laterally regularly rounded to apex. Male. Aedeagus with phallobase longer than parameres. Parameres simple, narrowed in basal fourth of their length and than widened again to apex. Parameral subbasal hook well developed, but the subapical hook is very small. Median lobe very slender, subparallel (Fig. 24). Female. Unknown. Differential diagnosis. Eulichas haucki sp. nov. can be easily recognised by the bicoloured light brown and grey body setation, and by the characteristic shape of the aedeagus. The parameres of this species are constricted in the basal quarter of their length, and then widened again to apex. Their subapical hook is very small. Collection circumstances.

03DE87D4FFC5FFA6FF7EEA54FDBB4307.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Three males from Hua Phan province agree well with typical specimens in habitus, body colouration and shape of last antennomere. However, the parameral subapical hook is not completely reduced in these specimens. As I am not able to resolve whether this is intraspecific variability or a different taxon, I did not designate these specimens as paratypes. Differential diagnosis. In habitus, the new species is similar to species from the E. funebris species complex. However the reduction of parameral subapical hook refer this species to the E. pacholatkoi species complex. E. kubani sp. nov. differs from that species by the habitus less elongate, blackish body colouration with greyish setation, and the last antennomere longer, than in E. pacholatkoi.	en	Hájek, Ji Ř Í (2007): Revision of the genus Eulichas Jacobson, 1913 (Coleoptera: Eulichadidae) I.

03DE87D4FFC6FFA7FF7EE9A1FBAE422F.taxon	description	Description. Habitus elongate, fusiform. Body colouring brown. Setation consists of dominant recumbent light brown setae covering most of dorsal surface, thus the colouration of the body seems to be paler than the colour of integument, and whitish setae forming ocellations on pronotum and elytra (Fig. 63). On abdominal sternites, whitish setae predominate over brown ones. Measurements. Males: 25 – 26 mm; female: 30 mm. Head punctation consists of sparse fine setigerous punctures. Antenna robust, last antennomere 1.71 – 2.05 times as long as wide (Fig. 42), its ventral side smooth with numerous small tubercles. Pronotum largely transverse, ca. 2.25 – 2.37 times as wide as long. Sides almost regularly rounded. The disc with two rounded shallow depressions. Punctation consists of fine and sparse setigerous punctures on the disc, which become slightly coarser and denser laterally. Elytra with numerous longitudinal rows of moderately large setigerous punctures, and very fine interstitial punctures. Ventral part with fine punctures, which are sparse medially and become larger and denser laterally. Last abdominal ventrite laterally regularly rounded to apex. Male. Aedeagus with phallobase longer than parameres. Parameres simple, their subapical hook is reduced to an indistinct angle. Median lobe slender, subparallel (Fig. 26). Female. Similar to male in habitus, but larger. Antenna shorter, and more slender.	en	Hájek, Ji Ř Í (2007): Revision of the genus Eulichas Jacobson, 1913 (Coleoptera: Eulichadidae) I.

03DE87D4FFC6FFA7FF7EE9A1FBAE422F.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The two specimens from “ Gia Lai – Kon Tum ” agree with typical material in the shape of last antennal segment and male genitalia. However, they are more robust (male: 27 mm; female: 33 mm), and the body setation consists of dark brown and greyish setae forming ocellations (Fig. 64). While only two specimens are known to me, I have assigned them provisionally to E. pacholatkoi. Study of more extensive material may reveal that these specimens represent a separate taxon.

03DE87D4FFCBFFACFF7EEA29FE084307.taxon	description	Description. Habitus elongate, fusiform. Body colouring blackish. Pale part of setation consists of recumbent yellowish setae forming typical ocellations on pronotum, elytra and abdominal sternites, where setae are darker and sparser (Fig. 69). Measurements. Males: 23 – 28 mm (holotype 24 mm). Head punctation consists of irregularly distributed coarse setigerous punctures. Antenna robust, last antennomere ca. 1.88 – 2.00 times as long as wide (Fig. 47), its ventral side smooth with numerous small tubercles.

03DE87D4FFCBFFACFF7EEA29FE084307.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The specimens from “ Ban Nape ” (Fig. 70) agree well in the shape of the aedeagus with typical specimens, however their habitus is almost the same as E. kubani sp. nov., which occurs at the same locality. As I am not able to resolve whether this is intraspecific variability or a different taxon, I did not designate these specimens as paratypes. Differential diagnosis. Based on the shape of the aedeagus, E. janbezdeki sp. nov. is closely related to E. milleri from Vietnam. Both species can only be distinguished by the male genitalia. E. janbezdeki sp. nov. has the parameres with medio-ventral process short and slightly curved, and the median lobe is broadly lanceolate, whereas in E. milleri the parameral medio-ventral process is long and acute, and the median lobe is slender and subparallel.	en	Hájek, Ji Ř Í (2007): Revision of the genus Eulichas Jacobson, 1913 (Coleoptera: Eulichadidae) I.

03DE87D4FFCEFFAFFF7EEE3CFB67474F.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The two males from Western Sumatra and Nias respectively show slight differences from typical specimens. They have the sides of pronotum only very indistinctly incised, and the body colouration is due to dense setation almost unicolourous light brown (Fig. 74). I have only seen one male from each locality, thus I was not able to view the variability and I did not designate them as paratypes. Differential diagnosis. In habitus, the new species is very similar to E. mediocris, from which it could be distinguished by the trapezoidal shape of pronotum with sides slightly incised subbasally, and hind angles prominent; last antennomere shorter and broader, about 2.5 times as long as wide; and by the aedeagus with median lobe narrowly lanceolate, and parameres almost straight with only small hook subbasally.	en	Hájek, Ji Ř Í (2007): Revision of the genus Eulichas Jacobson, 1913 (Coleoptera: Eulichadidae) I.
