  • 41) Kuzicus (Neokuzicus) sarawakicus Liu sp. n. Holotype ♂ (left middle leg, right three legs and antenna lost): BORNEO: SARAWAK / Bau District / Pangkalan Tebang / 300–450m, 6.IX.’58; Secondary / Forest Description. General morphology typical of the genus. Body comparatively large. Pronotum with lateral plate comparatively deep; humeral sinus less distinct; tegmina and wings well developed, much longer than apex of hind femur. Hind tibia with 3 pairs of apical spurs (Fig. 19a). Male 10 th tergite with a pair of large median lobes downward, a pair of small lobes nearby; epiproct invisible; large yoke-like subanal plate divided into 2 lobes with spiny apex, stretch out over subgenital plate; cerci bent inward strongly with basal half thick tapering apically, a small process near basal one third (Fig. 19 b–d). Subgenital plate damaged, distal half lost (Fig. 19d, e). Female unknown. Measurements (mm). Body: ♂ 10.7; Pronotum: ♂ 4.1; Tegmina: ♂ 18.6; Hind femora: ♂ 9.5. Comparison. This species from Borneo is quite different from the known species of Kuzicus by the apex of subanal plate in 2 lobes, which is quite unique in this genus, the cerci is more or less simple without additional process. Based on male 10 th tergite with a pair of big processes and a pair of small processes, this new species seems better to be in Kuzicus (Neokuzicus).
