The specific epithet (Latin, adjective: deviant) refers to the fact that this species differs in many ways from the usual morphology of Lobrathium species. Description. Large species, body length mm; length of forebody mm. Habitus as in Fig. 300. Coloration: body blackish, except for the reddish posterior margins of the abdominal segments VII and VIII; forelegs blackish with reddish tarsi; middle and hind legs with pale-yellow- ish femora, infuscate tibiae, and reddish tarsi; antenna in basal half blackish-brown, with antennomere I black and II dark-reddish; antennomeres in apical half gradually be- coming reddish. Head (Fig. 301) approximately as long as broad, pos- terior angles broadly convex; punctation moderately coarse and extremely dense; interstices reduced to narrow ridges. Eyes large, approximately times as long as the distance from posterior margin of eye to neck in dorsal view. Antenna slender, approximately mm long. Pronotum (Fig. 301) short and broad, times as long as broad and approximately as broad as head; punctation as dense as, and slightly coarser than head; impunctate midline reduced, narrow rudiment present only in poste- rior half. Elytra (Fig. 301) as long as pronotum, with parallel mar- gins in dorsal view, and marked humeral angles; puncta- Bonn zoological Bulletin 61 (1): 49-128 ©ZFMK.
