Abstract

Trichodromeus abbreviatus sp. nov., a new species with reduced hind wings from central Nepal, is described and illustrated. It can be distinguished from all species of the genus by the shape of the very short elytra, the lack of hind wings and tomentose spots in the middle of abdominal tergites IV–V, and the external and internal morphology of the aedeagus.
