Abstract: GenusAnnamosdaraKaszab, 1941 Type species. Annamosdara multidentata Kaszab, 1941, by original designation. Remarks. Kaszab (1941) pointed out that this very peculiar genus is characterised by its tuberculated dorsal body, simple legs, not bordered ventrite V and, especially, the shape of the prosternum. It can be readily distinguished from the morphologically similar genus Euphloeus Pascoe, 1887 by its differently-shaped prosternum (prosternum broad and almost flat; prosternal process ended with a small hump at the apex) and neither grooved nor carinate tibiae, as well as the totally different upper body sculpture. However, he did not provide any figures of these characters and did not examine the genitalia. Since Kaszab (1941) established the genus, except for a mention of the name in Bouchard et al. (2021), this genus has been scarcely documented. Its morphological characters lack clear images and nothing is known about its biology. We tried to locate the type of A. multidentata Kaszab, 1941, but have not gained access to it as of now. Distribution. Vietnam, China (new record).
