(2023), this record most probably refers to the environs of Ordubad]. • 1 ♂; same data; ZIN. Description. Male. Body (Fig. 3) rather large and robust, black, rarely with very faint cobalt-bluish, green, or violet reflections; elytra very rarely brown or reddish-brown. Length: 15.6–17.8 mm (holotype 17.4 mm), width: 7.5–9.0 mm (holotype 8.6 mm). Head (Fig. 20). Clypeus with widely rounded protruding anterior angles, with a sharp tooth pointing upwards medially. Integument covered with dense, irregular, rough punctures, and sparse, short, brownish hairs. Frons with similar punctuation to clypeus, with rather dense and long blackish setae posteriorly. Fronto-clypeal suture is somewhat obscured by the sculpture but remains visible. First antennomere large, distinctly incurved, and swollen distally, with dense, long dark hairs and short, thick brownish setae. Second antennomere ~ 3 × shorter, swollen, and covered with dense dark hairs. Antennomeres 3–7 with a single short, delicate seta, and the antennal club has a single short, oblique seta, shorter than those on antennomeres 3–7 (Fig. 14). Dorsal margin of mandibles nearly regularly rounded, without tooth (Fig. 42). Last segment of the maxillary palps distinctly narrowed distally, with truncate apex. Pronotum (Figs 14, 21) rather convex, with the sides subparallel for approximately the basal two-thirds, leading to obtusely rounded posterior angles, and moderately convergent anteriorly. Anterior margin finely bisinuate with sharp angles and a distinctly detached shiny edging. Posterior margin bisinuate with a protruding medial lobe, and shiny edging separated by a distinct deep groove, which extends slightly forwards along the lateral margins. Disc with dense, rough, partly contiguous punctures; “ mirrors ”) rather small, with a few punctures. Integument without microreticulation thus rather shiny, covered with dense dark brownish hairs, primarily directed laterally and backwards; without hairs in the glabrous portions. Anterior angles with a tuft of dense, short, thick dark brown setae. Scutellum small, with fine, somewhat isolated punctures anteriorly, smoother towards the apical part. Elytra moderately convex, with widely arcuate sides and apices that are widely separated and slightly angularly rounded. The surface “ striped, ” with each elytron bearing five stripes of more or less dense yellowish setae, partly concealing the surface. Lateral stripe extends from the humeral tubercle but almost does not reach the apex; discal stripes are more or less short and do not reach the elytral base. Integuments between the presutural and second discal stripes covered with dense, rough punctures, while the rest of the surface with sparse, small, and irregular punctures. Lateral margins with a distinct groove that embraces the elytral apices. In lateral view, the margins are only very slightly sinuous (Fig. 9), apical edge of elytra with a clear groove separating convex edge, with row of dense, dark, thick, setae (Fig. 41). Integument without microreticulation, thus rather shiny. Pygidium and propygidium. Dense, short yellowish setae, completely concealing the densely micro-punctate surface. Thorax with dense, rather rough punctures and long, curve hairs, predominantly dark brown, sometimes mixed with a few yellowish ones. This pubescence is somewhat sparser and shorter medially, while laterally it is denser and sometimes conceals the surface. Legs. Protibiae (Fig. 24) with three large lateral teeth; the edge proximal to them nearly straight but somewhat uneven. Incision between the two distal teeth narrowly arcuate; dorsal surface with a slightly uneven row of punctures bearing long brown hairs and edged by a distinct groove; anteriorly, this row reaches approximately to the level of the incision between the two distal teeth. Mesotibiae (Figs 27, 30) with a slightly uneven outer edge, along which runs a somewhat irregular row of wide flat setae with rounded apices, dorsal surface with a row of rather deep punctures bearing short dark hairs; punctures condensed proximally and sparser distally, reaching approximately to the distal 1 / 4 of the tibia. Metafemora (Fig. 35) strongly thickened, ~ 1.75 × as long as wide, with a row of distinct rasp-shaped punctures along the middle, bearing short brown setae; proximally and distally, this row expands into areas with similar punctures, which continue along the anterior and posterior margins of the femur; between the medial
