Abstract A new cerambycid beetle, Rosalia spic,!dells, isdescribed from
Sumatera, Indonesia. Itseemstobeaclose relativeof R ebel'thur1fromBorneo.
OnlyasinglespeciesbelongingtothegenusRosaliahashithertobeenknown
from Sumatera. It has been provisionally determined as Rosalia (E - 'batus)
novempunctatawhichwasoriginallydescribed fromEastJavaandbelongstothe
groupofR f()1・mosana.Recently, Ihadanopportunitytoexamineanadditional
RosaliaspeciesfromSumatera.ThoughsimilartoR novempunctatainthedorsal
maculation,thisspeciesnodoubtbelongstothegroupofR.oberthur1fromBorneo
becauseofsuchcommoncharactersasverythickantennalsegments3rdand4th
and theentirely bright orangebody beneath includingcoxae. After acareful
examination, theunknownspecieswasprovednewtoscience,andIamgoingto

要 約
苅部治紀:スマトラ島産べニボシカミキリの1新種. - スマトラのべニボシカミキリ属は,
これまで.Rnovempunctataと考えられる1種が知られていただけであったが, 今回スマトラ北部
3 から本属の別系統の種の標本がもたらされた. この種は角角ﾇ第 ・ 節4が非常に膨大すること
体下面が腹部末端を除き基節まで全面オレンジ色を呈することで, 他のべニボシカミキリ類か
ら容易に区別できる. このような特徴をもつ種としては, これまでボルネオに産するR.
oberthuri1種が知られていたが, これとは明らかに区別できるので, 本種を新極として命名記
載した.
