CSBC.Etymology: Named in honor of Dr. KIYOSHI ANDO (Osaka), one of the collectors of thetype series, for long-term and fruitful cooperation.Description: Dorsal view see Fig. 8, dorsal side blackish without metallic shine,body length 7.8–9.0 mm. Genae not broader than eyes, frons without distinct supraorbitalkeels, with distinct supraorbital furrows. Last 5 antennomeres forming aclub. Anterior corners of pronotum distinctly protruding, lateral margin with feeblecrenulation, pronotal disc with rough but separate confluent punctation, pronotaldisc without medial impression, only laterally between punctures without granules.Internal elytral intervals 1–3 with a row of separate longitudinal granules, externalintervals with confluent longitudinal granules forming keels. Tibiae in both sexesexternally with distinct keels. Aedeagus see Fig. 78.Diagnosis: To be recognized by the shape of the pronotum with distinctly protrudinganterior corners, by the dorsal structure of the elytra and by the shape of theaedeagus. Bradymerus acutangulus from Java and B. sumatranus n. sp. from Sumatrahave a similar shape of the pronotum, but their body size is smaller (6.0–6.5 mm),and the aedeagi are different (Figs. 74, 78, 133).Bradymerus bocakorum n. sp. (Figs. 14, 84)Holotype (): Philippines, Mindanao, 30 km E Malaybalay, Busdi, 1000 m, 5.–9.V.1996,leg. L. BOLM, SMNS.Etymology: Named in honor of Dr. MILADA BOCÁKOVÁ and Dr. LADISLAV BOCÁK
