Abstract

A new species of Anteon Jurine, 1807 is described from Laos, Houaphanh Province: A. holzschuhi sp. n. Morphologically the new species is similar to A. semipolitum Olmi, 2008, but it is distinguished by the sculpture of the face partly reticulate rugose and partly with deep punctures similar to areolae; in A. semipolitum the face is completely punctate and unsculptured among punctures. In addition, in the new species the distance from the outer edge of a lateral ocellus to the compound eye (OOL) is about 3.3 times as long as the distance between the inner edges of a lateral ocellus and the median ocellus (OL); in A. semipolitumOOL is less than twice as long as OL. Published identification keys to the Oriental species of Anteon are modified to include the new species.
