Cyphochilus sansuukyii n. sp. Figs 44-46, 88 Holotype: MHNG (MHNG-ENTO-81690); 1 ♂; MYANMAR: // Carin Chebà [Karen Hills] / 900- 1100 m / L. Fea V XII-88 [1888] (P) // HOLOTYPUS ♂ / Cyphochilus / sansuukyii mihi / G. Sabatinelli, 2020 (T on red) // (Fig. 88). Paratypes: 2 specimens. MYANMAR: MHNG (MHNG-ENTO-81691 and 81692); 2 ♀; same collection data as the holotype, labeled as PARATYPUS ♀. Description of the holotype male: Size – BL: 22 mm, BW: 8.8 mm, BWX: 12.3 mm, situated in the third distal of elytra. Color – Integument brown including antennal clubs and legs; dorsal surface with yellowish scales, more dense white scales along sides of pronotum and margins. Head – CW/L: 2.9; anterolateral edges of clypeus rounded in very obtuse angle, lateral edges of clypeus straight and divergent posteriad; frons large, making eyes not prominent (F/O: 5.7); antennal club of same length as antennomeres 2-7 (A2-7/CL: 1). Pronotum – Transverse (PnW/L: 2.2), strongly convex; apical angles not flattened, right, not protuberant; basal lateral margins almost straight, basal angles obtuse and rounded. Elytra – Without elevated striae. Thoracic sterna – Surface with short, white pubescence and scales; mesosternum well developed anteriorly (MstL: 1.1 mm) between mesocoxae. Abdomen – Sternites with sparse scales; pygidium convex with apical margin reflected. Legs – Protibia bidentate as third tooth at the base is obsolete; slender apical tooth bigger than the other tooth. Aedeagus – Parameres very asymmetric; apex of both parameres prolonged in a spike (Figs 44-46). Females: BL: 23.5 mm; antennal club shorter than preceding antennomeres (A2-7/CL: 1.7). Etymology: Aung San Suu Kyi is a Burmese politician, diplomat, author, and recipient of 1991 Nobel Peace Prize for her democratic activities in Myanmar, from where the new species of Cyphochilus is described. Type locality: The type locality, Carin Chebà on the original labels, corresponds nowadays to Karen Hills (750 m), in Myanmar. Leonardo Fea (Turin 24 July 1852 – 27 April 1903), ...
