Note. In the original description
Sharp (1885)
did not specify how many specimens he studied. He also failed to mention which museum the material was deposited. However, in the literature the
type
material is indicated as deposited in the
BMNH
(
Kingsolver & Whitehead 1974a
). We received two specimens from this museum, one with ‘LECTOTYPE’ label and the other with ‘PARALECTOTYPE’ label, although a formal designation was not published. The specimens confer with the original description and the
type
locality is the same. The specimen with
lectotype
label has other “
Type
” handwritten label, probably written by Sharp, so this specimen is designated here as
lectotype
to improve nomenclatural stability (Declaration 44, Amendment of Article 74.7.3,
ICZN
1999).
Diagnosis.
Ctenocolum salvini
differs from others species by the male genitalia, internal sac with long tuft of setae at lateral apex (
Fig. 89
) and lateral lobes at apex with membranous projection (
Fig. 101
). Comparing to other species of the group,
C. salvini
can be distinguished by having antennomeres 8–10 with same color as the others (
Fig. 20
). For other comments see
C. janzeni

Redescription.
BL: 4.0–
4.1 mm
; BW:
2.5–2.7 mm
.
Integument. Dorsum black. Antenna brown and dark brown (
Fig. 20
). Pygidium reddish brown or rufous. Ventral region black and reddish brown or black. Front and middle femur and tibia pale and dark brown; hind femur reddish brown and black.
Pubescence. Pronotum brown, yellowish gray, black and white; sparse setae exposing the integument forming an oval, wide area from anterior to posterior region and on each lateral region two small areas (
Fig. 20
). Elytra strongly variegated, brown, yellowish gray, black and white setae; interstria 3 only with denser strip of white setae on submedian region (
Fig. 20
). Pygidium dense, white or yellowish gray and white; sparse setae on two basal, four lateral and one apical small region (
Fig. 45
). Ventral region brown, yellowish gray and white (
Fig. 64
).
Head. Ocular sinus
0.3 mm
; ocular index 6.0; length of eyes in frontal view behind sinus
0.21 mm
(
Fig. 33
). Antenna serrate from antennomere 4-10. Frons with conspicuous frontal carina (
Fig. 33
).
Prothorax. Pronotum with median gibbosity strongly elevated, not divided by longitudinal sulcus and divided by transversal sulcus (
Fig. 64
); lateral gibbosity moderately elevated; basal lobe without depression and slightly emarginated (
Fig. 20
).
Mesothorax and metathorax. Elytra, striae with punctures moderately impressed; less conspicuous teeth at base of striae 3 and 4; tooth of stria 4 closer to base of tooth of stria 3 than to anterior margin of elytra; stria 6 not impressed, formed only by isolated puntuation.
Hind
femur (
Fig. 77
) on external ventral margin with toothed carina; with denticles above of external ventral margin; pecten with 8–12 teeth.
Hind
tibia (
Fig. 77
) moderately emarginated beside mucro; lateral coronal denticles absent.
Abdomen. Pygidium longer than wide, oval, at median basal region with moderately impressed punctures (
Fig. 45
).
Male genitalia. Median lobe with ventral valve as long as wide, lateral margins concave on subapical region (
Fig. 89
), basal margin not emarginated. Internal sac, lateral apex with long tuft of setae, hinge sclerite curved at apex, long, extending through subapical region; subapical region with sparse spicules and a smooth sclerite, inverted V-shaped reaching the median region (
Fig. 89
); median region laterally and medially with agglomerate of spicules; submedian region with dense denticles and smooth sclerite, hourglass-shaped with stems oriented forward, shorter than the central region (
Fig. 89
); basal region with dense denticles. Tegmen (
Fig. 101
), lateral lobes separated by emargination about 0.5 times the length of lateral lobes; internal margin near end of emargination curved, forming a “U”; not expanded at apex, about the same width of the median region; with membranous projection at apex.
Note. We studied only males of this species.
