Remarks. Boucomont and Gillet (1921) and Paulian (1945) listed and diagnosed two Bolbochromus species (B. laetus and B. plagiatus) from Vietnam and neighboring areas which were originally recorded from Sri Lanka and northern India. Yet, we were not able to access the material studied by Paulian, and so we cannot be sure of the identity of specimens that he used. Considering the similarity of B. plagiatus to B. nomurai and other species occurring in Indochina, it is reasonable to assume that the identifications of Paulian are incorrect as it is unlikely he compared their male genitalia. To solve this problem it is necessary to re-examine the relevant specimens.

The holotype is glued to a paper point and labeled: MALAYSIA: Selangor// Ulu Gombak// 21. V.?. VI. 2003// Maruyama M. (FIT) (deposited at the National Museum of Nature and Science, Tokyo, Japan). Paratype. 1 female, with the same collecting data as the holotype. Type locality. Western Malaysia: Selangor State, Ulu Gombak, 3?5’N, 101?8’E (Fig. 23). Description. Holotype male (Figs 3, 9, 11). Body length 6.8 mm; greatest width 3.8 mm. Form ovate, sides subparallel. Dorsum of head, pronotum, interval 1 (sutural interval), and base of elytron black with elytral striae and remaining intervals brownish black to yellowish brown; round, brownish yellow markings located on lateral third of pronotum, 2 additional minor marking at sides of basal one-third of midline (Fig. 11); elytral markings across base of striae 1? and interval 9, shape transversely irregular (Fig. 3). Head: Labrum with anterior margin feebly triangularly concave centrally, sides notched. Clypeal apex trapezoidal with lateral border rounded (Fig. 9), anterior margin beaded, surface rugosely punctate, confluent or separated by less than 1 puncture diameter. Clypeofrontal suture absent. Vertex with an inconspicuous convexity of carina at middle of base, coarse punctures on surface same as those on clypeus, moderately distributed. Thorax: Outline of pronotum transverse, surface coarsely punctate along side of disc, moderately dense; midline moderately indented with well-defined, coarse punctures; area in front of elytral base impunctate with coarse punctures at anterior one-third of sides of midline (Fig. 9); disc gradually declined anteriorly when viewed laterally (Fig. 11).
