Abstract

A new genus and species of the tribe Amarygmini (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), Laocnemis gen. nov. borowieci sp. nov., is described from Laos. The newly discovered taxon is characterised by broad elytra, armed profemora, medial contact of the eyes on the frons, keel-like elevated genae, rectangular and not projecting posterior angles of the pronotum, keeled elytral intervals, and broad and short tibiae each with external furrow. Additionally, Termitocnemis huangi Jiang, Song, He, Engel, and Wang, 2021, described from Fujian (China), is recorded from Yunnan (China) and Laos for the first time.
