Elytra, Tokyo, New Series, 1(2): 227 235 December 31, 2011 Notes on Buprestid Beetles (Coleoptera, Buprestidae) from Thailand, VIII. Supplement to the Revision of the Genus Coraebina OBENBERGER, 1923 from Thailand with Descriptions of Two New Species Sadahiro OHMOMO Sumiyoshi 1 12 4, Ami-machi, Inashiki-gun, Ibaraki-ken, 300 1158 Japan Abstract The genus Coraebina O7:C7:G<:G, 1923 in Thailand is supplementary reviewed, and two new species, C. pisuthi sp. nov. and C. azureus sp. nov., are described. C. bilyi A@>N6B6 et O=BDBD, 1993 recorded from Thailand for the first time, and its male is described. A key for the Thai species of the genus Coraebina is given. Introduction The tribe Coraebini B:9:A, 1921 is one of the large tribe in the subfamily Agrilinae L6EDGI:, 1835, and is subdivided into 10 subtribes according to the latest classification of the tribe Coraebini (KJ76 C et al., 2001). Among them, the subtribe Amorphosomina M6?:G, 2001 is composed of 13 genera including the genus Coraebina O7:C7:G<:G, 1923. Coraebina was established by O7:C7:G<:G (1923) for three new species, C. maderi, C. birmaniae and C. nickerli, and subsequently O7:C7:G<:G (1958) revised this genus. D:H86GE:CIG>:H and V>AA>:GH (1967) studied the Southeast Asian species and then only one species, C. ikomai D:H86GE:CIG>:H et C=Ĵ?Dˆ, 1961, was known from Thailand. After that, A@>N6B6 and O=BDBD (1994) reported additional three species from Thailand and described one new species, C. komiyai A@>N6B6 et O=BDBD, 1994. After that, author had several opportunities to collect many specimens of the genus Coraebina from various localities in Thailand and compared them with the type specimens in detail. Now-a-days, 24 species of this genus are known. In this study, I recognized eight species including two new species and one species newly recorded from Thailand. In this paper, I summarize the results of the taxonomic study of the Thai Coraebina and describe two new species, C. pisuthi sp. nov. and C. azureus sp. nov. The abbreviations used in this study are as follows: NSMT (National Museum of Nature and Science, Tokyo) and COTJ (Collection of S. O=BDBD, Tsukuba, Japan). The holotype is deposited in the collection of NSMT. Genus Coraebina O7:C7:G<:G Coraebina O7:C7:G<:G, 1923, 33 34; 1958, 423 441; B6J9DC, 1965, 194 197; D:H86GE:CIG>:H &V>AA>:GH, 1967, 487 488; A@>N6B6 &O=BDBD, 1994, 109 116; KJ76 C et al., 2000, 210 212; B:AA6BN, 2003, 81; 2008, 1790. Type species: Coraebina maderi O7:C7:G<:G, 1923 [ gentilis (K:GG:B6CH, 1890)], deposited in National Museum, Prague, Czech Republic (NMPC). The members of Coraebina are similar to some small species of the genus Coraebus and is the inter-mediate shape of the genera Coraebus and Meliboeus. For that reason, the genus Coraebina is sometimes confused with them. However, Coraebina is clearly di#erent from Coraebus and

228 Sadahiro O=BDBD Meliboeus as follows: 1) body is slenderer than Meliboeus and/or small size Coraebus, 2) pronotum with distinct crenulations on lateral sides like to Coraebus, whereas in Meliboeus, it is smooth, 3) antennae serrate from 5th segment, whereas in Coraebus, it is from 4th segment.

234 Sadahiro O=BDBD Notes. This species, as well as C. azureus sp. nov., is characterized by having an apical spine on each elytron. The frons of these two species are with a flattened, transverse and smooth margin at the bottom just above the deep groove. By these characteristics, C. rondoni B6J9DC, 1965 and C. azureus sp. nov. are consisting a group separable from the other species. Coraebina pisuthi sp. nov. (Figs. 1-c, 2-c, 3-c) Type locality.

Head small, with an obsolete median groove running from vertex to the middle of frons; frons rather small and globular from frontal aspect (Fig. 2-c), with a shallow longitudinal depression, strongly wrinkled at basal half and strongly and largely punctuated at above half, sparsely covered with ivory setae, separated with a deep transverse groove from clypeus; eyes moderately convex, inner margins slightly convergent to below; clypeus transverse, connecting with a distinct longitudinal ridge formed between anntenal cavities, clothed with long ivory hairs; antennae serrate from 4th segment, 1st segment stout and 2.0 times as long as 2nd one, 2nd segment ovate and 1.2 times as long as 3rd one, 3rd segment stout, 4th to 9th segments triangle, 10th and 11th segments oblong.

Prosternal process lingiform, flattened, rimmed, densely wrinkled. Elytra widest at humeri and at apical two-fifths (L/W 2.61), base wider than posterior margin of pronotum, anterior margin bisinuate, lateral margin obliquely expanded at humeri, feebly sinuate in apical two-fifths, then obliquely narrowed to apices, uniformly crenulate from apical one-fifth to apices; disc moderately convex, surface strongly punctuate and partly wrinkled, ornamented with hairless changeable markings at basal three-fifths and apical one-fifth.

Notes on Buprestid Beetles from Thailand, Part 8 235 Female. Larger than male, similar to male except frons bronzy red, pronotum bronze sometimes with yellow tinge and elytra ornamented with distinct band and markings and with purple tinge in all. Distribution. Thailand. Etymology. This species is dedicated to my friend, Mr. Pisuth EK-ABCJ6N, Bangkok, for his contribution to investigate the Thailand fauna. Notes. This species is very similar to C. birmaniae O7:C7:G<:G, 1923 (Fig. 1-d) and C. cambodiensis D:H86GE:CIG>:H et V>AA>:GH, 1967 (Fig. 1-e), however, it is easily distinguished from the latters by the body size and the ornamentation of the elytral apices shown in the key. The colorations between the male and female are di#erent as follows: the frons and pronotum in male are olivaceous, whereas in female, the frons is bronze red, and the ponotum is bronze. 8 Coraebina 2 Coraebina 2 C. azureus sp. nov.
