Abstract

The tenebrionid genus Bolitonaeus Lewis, 1894 (type species: Bolitonaeus mergae Lewis, 1894, by original designation) (Tenebrioninae: Bolitophagini Kirby, 1837) contains a couple of species in the southern Palaearctic Region (Japan, southern China, Nepal) and is speciose in the Oriental Region including Halmahera, but lacks representatives in New Guinea and the Papuan Region. Newly collected specimens from the Cameron Highlands in the Malay Peninsula yielded a previously unrecognized species, being described herein. Added is a checklist of all known species of Bolitonaeus with new records.
