Eblisia coreana M. Ohara et Paik, 1998 (Fig. 2, 3)
Frontal stria of head (Fig. 2A) deeply impressed, crenated and complete. Head densely and finely punctate, the punctures separated by their own diameter. Mandible short, robust, acutely bent inwards.
Pronotal sides (Fig. 2B) convergent apically and regularly, apical angle round. Marginal pronotal stria complete laterally and absent anteriorly. Pronotal lateral stria complete, carinate laterally, strongly carinate on latero-basal two-thirds, and finely impressed and densely crenuated anteriorly. Disk sparsely covered with fine punctures that are separated by 2 3 times their diameter, and with coarse punctures on antero-lateral area that are separated by half to twice their diameter. Area along the basal margin with a row of coarse punctures, the punctures absent medially.
Epipleura with two epipleural and elytral marginal striae that are strongly sinuate and complete; disk densely covered with coarse punctures, and the punctures becoming rugose on apical half. External subhumeral stria (Fig. 2B) impressed on basal half. Internal subhumeral, and first to fourth dorsal striae, complete, the basal one-fourth slightly curved inward; fifth dorsal stria on apical two-thirds; sutural stria present on medio-apical one-fourth; oblique humeral stria slightly impressed on basal one-fourth. Disk sparsely covered with fine punctures that are separated by 2 5 times their diameter; a row of coarse punctures present along the apical margin of elytra.
Propygidium (Fig. 2C) with large and ocelloid punctures that are separated by 0.3 1 times their diameter and become sparser along margin; surface feebly depressed on lateral one-fourth. Pygidium coarsely and deeply punctate, the punctures irregularly separated by 0.3 1.5 times their diameter, and become finer apically.
Prosternal lobe (Fig. 2D) broad and convex medially, its anterior margin truncate, and the median portion nearly straight; marginal stria complete; disk of lobe densely covered with fine punctures that are separated by 1 3 times their diameter. Prosternal keel flat, the posterior margin straight; without carinal stria; lateral stria deeply impressed and diverse apically; disk of keel sparsely covered with fine punctures that are separated by 3 - 6 times their diameter. Anterior margin of mesosternum slightly emarginate; its marginal stria finely impressed and complete; a short stria present behind antero-lateral angle on each side; punctures of disk similar to that of posterior keel. Meso-metasternal suture lightly impressed and feebly angulated at middle. Lateral metasternal stria deeply impressed and carinate, oblique and posteriorly extended, its apical end attaining near metacoxa. Punctation of intercoxal disk of metasternum similar to that of mesosternum. Lateral disk densely covered with large, round, shallow punctures, which are separated by 0.2 0.7 times their diameter.
Intercoxal disk of first abdominal sternum with punctation similar to that of intercoxal disk of metasternum; 2 lateral striae present on each side, the inner complete and the outer present on apical half.
Protibia (Fig. 2E, F) with 4 denticles on outer margin, and a small denticle on apical margin. Mesotibiae with 4 denticles on outer margin, the apical most with 2 spines. Metatibae with 3 spines on outer margin.
Male genitalia as shown in Fig. 3. Aedeagus slender, its sides convergent apically on apical half of parameres, and with projection on basal one-fourth on each dorso-lateral side; ratio of parameres length to basal piece length about 1.42.
Remarks. This new species is similar to Eblisia satzumae (Lewis)
from Japan, but can be distinguished by the complete internal subhumeral
stria of the elytra and by the different shape of the aedeagus of the male
genitalia, which has a projection on each lateral side of the basal one-fourth
of parameres.
