Differential diagnosis

Elmomorphus paramontanus sp. nov. ( Fig. 40 ) belongs to a group of species characterised by having a plastron on the dorsal cranial surface (except for a triangular area on the vertex), on the anterior angles of the pronotum, and the lateral sides of the elytra. Elytral punctures scattered over the entire surface, striae absent. Within this group, E. corpulentus sp. nov., E. ellipticus sp. nov., E. montanus , E. paramontanus , and E. prosternalis may be recognised by the pronotal plastron being confined to the anterior angles. The differences between E. paramontanus , E. corpulentus , and E. ellipticus are listed under the latter two species. Elmomorphus montanus differs from E. paramontanus in the parameres being shorter in relation to the phallobase, PhL/PrL: 2.30 in E. montanus versus PhL/PrL: 1.37–1.81 (1.57 ± 0.11, n=25) in E. paramontanus ( Fig. 41 ).

Etymology

The epithet is a Latin adjective in the nominative singular referring to the overall similarity with E. montanus .
