Remarks. The shape of the parameres of the new species is distinct from that of the other species of Aegidium (see Paulian 1984 ) and remarkably similar to that of the recently found monotypical genus from the Andean cloud forest ( Frolov & Vaz-de-Mello 2015 ). The other characters (shape of the mandibles, sculpture of the body, characteristic longitudinal elevated areas on the elytra), however, agree well with the diagnosis of Aegidium . The both taxa occur in the cloud forests at high altitudes—biocenoses that are known to preserve more archaic faunal elements than the other types of tropical forests. The peculiar complex shape of the parameres of Ae. atlanticum sp. n. might be a plesiomorphy inherited from the common ancestor of the two taxa but lost at the very beginning of the Aegidium diversification. When handled, the live beetle uttered a noise of a rather high frequency produced apparently by the coxa-abdominal stridulatory apparatus.
