Description

Intybia semidepressa (Pic, 1917) comb. n.

Laius semidepressus Pic, 1917: 6 (E).—Philippines: Luzon; Wittmer 1941: 226.

Comments. The species was also described from a female and characterised by its specific red-orange and white colouration of spots in elytra given in the original description: “ Laius semidepressus n. sp. ♀. Elongatus, subnitidus, nigro-piceus, pro parte obscurior, antennis ad basin tarsisque testaceis, elytris ad scutelium testaceo maculatis, ante medium et lateraliter albo maculatis, bis postice parum dilatatis et convexis. Long. 2 mill. 5. Manille: Antipolo (E. Simon). — Espèce très distincte par les macules élytrales de deux colourations différentes, ainsi que par la forme des élytres . The species is similar to I. baeri and apparently could be synonym of this species. Without male specific characters it is transferred to Intybia Pascoe provisionally.
