Eulasia (Rudeulasia) daccordii Uliana & Sabatinelli, new species (Figs 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13) Diagnosis. Pronotum with surface finely granulate (hence the placement in the subgenus Rudeulasia). Regular lateral margin of mandibles, not protruding externally as a lobe. Protibiae of males without apical spur, slightly enlarged towards the apex. Pronotum covered with erect setae of mixed length; setae completely or mostly black, neither adpressed nor spiniform. Each side of the pronotum with a glabrous area near the base, which may be absent or indistinct, at most barely reaching the middle of the pronotum. Elytra dehiscent, uniformly light brown in males, purple metallic in females, sometimes with cyan sheen. Sutural angle of the elytra rounded in both sexes. Elytral epipleura with a few spiniform setae scattered all along their length. Tergites of males black at the base and metallic coloured on the rest of the surface, except for the last one, which is testaceous on a more or less wide extension.
