Diagnosis. Earota dentata can be distinguished from the West Palaearctic E. reyi by having subquadrate antennal article 4, more transverse articles 5­10, more narrow median lobe of aedeagus (in parameral view), more narrow medial tubercle on male tergum 7 and protruding apical lobe on male tergum 8. Description. Length 3.0­ 4.5 mm. Dark brown, elytra and legs lighter, reddish brown to brownish yellow. Head subquadrate, surface glossy, on disk with weak isodiametric microsculpture, punctation fine, distance between punctures equals 2­3 times their diameter. Eyes 1.2­1.5 times as long as temples (seen from above). Second antennal article as long as third, article 4 subquadrate, articles 5­10 transverse (width to length ratio 1.3­1.6), last article as long as three preceding combined (Fig. 6). Pronotum transverse, 1.2­1.3 times as wide as head, width to length ratio 1.2­
