Abstract

A new genus of marsh beetles (Coleoptera: Scirtidae: Scirtinae) from Southeast Asia is described to accommodate Contacyphon peterseni (Klausnitzer, 1973) from Bismarck Archipelago and three newly described species: Calvariomorphus malayanus sp. nov. (type species of the genus), C. sakaii sp. nov., and C. palauensis sp. nov. Morphology and relationships between Calvarium-like taxa, defined on the basis of several common morphological features (compact body, very narrow clypeus, deep subantennal fossae) are discussed.
