Abstract

Ancyronyx clisterisp. nov.(Coleoptera, Elmidae) a new spider riffle beetle discovered from northern Borneo (Brunei; Sabah and Sarawak, Malaysia) and the larva ofAncyronyx sarawacensisJäch are described. Illustrations of the habitus and diagnostic characters of the new species and the similar and highly variableA. sarawacensisare presented. Differences to closely related species, based on DNA barcodes and morphological characters, are discussed. Association of the larva and the imago ofA. sarawacensis, and the occurrence ofAncyronyx procerusJäch in Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah are confirmed by using COI mtDNA sequences.
