Biolus sauroides, comb. nov.

8. Biolus sauroides (Koch) comb. nov. (Figs 2H, 6A, I, 8H) Eurynotus (Biolus) sauroides Koch 1955: 420.– Kamiński 2016: 235. Diagnosis: Biolus sauroides is sharply separable from all other spe - cies by the extremely coarse sculpturing dorsally and ventrally (large, knobby tubercles extending to the disc and base of the elytra and large closely spaced punctures on abdominal under - side). Koch’s (1955) description outlines most of the species morphology sufficiently. Here we provide only additional char - acters we found in a description below to supplement Koch’s description. Supplementary description (see: Koch 1955): Abdomen: Abdominal ventrite V with setigerous punctures. Females without median apical notch. Legs: Male midtibia with small spurical projection at apex. Male terminalia: Parameres weakly tapering with tips sharply tapering and directed medially. Female Terminalia: Bursa copulatrix without sclerites or accessory pouch. Material examined: Holotype (TMNH): ‘Garies Namaqualand; Museum Staff June 1930; sauroides Koch; Paratypus Eurynotus sauroides C. Koch sp. n. ’. (See Supporting Information, Appendix S1 for additional ma - terial examined.) Distribution: South Africa (Fig. 9).

Abstract

8. Biolus sauroides (Koch) comb. nov. (Figs 2H, 6A, I, 8H) Eurynotus (Biolus) sauroides Koch 1955: 420.– Kamiński 2016: 235. Diagnosis: Biolus sauroides is sharply separable from all other spe - cies by the extremely coarse sculpturing dorsally and ventrally (large, knobby tubercles extending to the disc and base of the elytra and large closely spaced punctures on abdominal under - side). Koch’s (1955) description outlines most of the species morphology sufficiently. Here we provide only additional char - acters we found in a description below to supplement Koch’s description. Supplementary description (see: Koch 1955): Abdomen: Abdominal ventrite V with setigerous punctures. Females without median apical notch. Legs: Male midtibia with small spurical projection at apex.
