Neaporia bobbie Gordon and Hanley , new species Description. Male holotype . Length 1.6 mm , width 1.0 mm; body elongate oval, elytron with side slightly rounded, wider than pronotal base, widest at middle of elytra. Dorsal surface entirely shiny. Color yellow; head yellow with black vertex ( Fig. 254 ); pronotum yellow with median 1/3 black; elytron with small black macula at basal scutellar angle ( Fig. 252 ); ventral surface entirely yellow except apical ½ of ultimate maxillary palpomere dark brown. Head punctures small, separated by a diameter or less; pronotal punctures as large as on head, separated by less than twice a diameter; elytral punctures larger than on pronotum, separated by a diameter or less; prosternal, mesosternal punctures small, sparse or absent; metasternum with large punctures along anterior and lateral borders, punctures on remaining surface absent or small, sparse; punctures on abdominal ventrites 1–3 large, separated by 2 to 4 times a diameter, punctures on remaining ventrites small, separated by about a diameter. Head not densely pubescent, frons widened from vertex to clypeus, about as wide as eye measured at vertex; eye canthus short; apical maxillary palpomere long, slender, narrowed to apex in apical 1/3. Pronotum widest at middle, reflexed lateral margin wide, equal in width from base to apex. Epipleuron flat, wide in basal ½, as wide as pronotal hypomeron. Prosternum slightly longer than wide, longer than mesosternum, apical margin widely, weakly emarginate, without anterolateral projection. Postcoxal line on ventrite 1 slightly angulate, extended 2/3 distance to apical margin of ventrite ( Fig. 253 ). Apex of ventrite 5 truncate medially. Genitalia with phallobase extremely long, slender, basal lobe longer than paramere, slender, parallel sided, apex medially emarginate with lateral angle toothed; paramere narrow, weakly curved, slightly sinuate, dorsal margin without serrations ( Fig. 255, 256 ); sipho long, slender, apical 1/8 filamentous ( Fig. 257 ). Female. Unknown. Variation . Unknown. Type material. Holotype male; BRAZIL : Am.(Amazonas), Reserva Ducke 26km NE Manaus , Hurtado , J.C.G, Eschweilera pseudodecolorans , 15.x.1995 , Tree No 130, Tray No. 3, BMNH (E) 2003–84. ( BMNH ). Remarks. Neaporia bobbie is distinguished by a unique dorsal color pattern, an entirely yellow, mostly impunctate ventral surface, and unusual structure of the male genitalia. It superficially resembles N . felicia in dorsal color pattern and has the same type of distribution, but male genitalia of these two species differ considerably.
