Abstract

A newly discovered species, Archaeoglenes borowieci sp. nov., is illustrated and described from the Moluccas (Indonesia). This new taxon is the first known anophthalmic representative of the genus. Based on the structure of the mouthparts (transverse mentum with truncate anterior margin; triangular and narrow submentum), pronotum (simple, without incision before anterior angle), and abdomen (wide and truncate intercoxal process), it is classified within the newly designated Archaeoglenes biroi species-group, which also groups: A. biroi Kaszab, 1982, A. caledonicus Kaszab, 1982, A. lawrencei Kaszab, 1982, A. solomonensis Lawrence, 1979, A. triplehorni Iwan & Kamiński, 2015. Additionally, the following synonymy is introduced: Archaeoglenes solomonensis Lawrence, 1979 (=Archaeoglenes greensladei Kaszab, 1982 syn. nov.).
