Neaporia priscilla Gordon and Hanley , new species Description. Male holotype . Length 1.5 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, lacking microsculpture. Color black ( Fig. 177 ); pronotum and dlytra with reflexed lateral margin reddish brown; antenna, mouthparts, legs yellow; ventral surface dark brown except abdomen yellowish brown. Head punctures large, separated by a diameter or less; pronotal punctures as large as on head, separated by a diameter or less; elytral punctures larger than on pronotum, separated by less than twice a diameter; prosternal, mesosternal punctures large, separated by less than a diameter; metasternum with large punctures along anterior and lateral borders, punctures on remaining surface absent or small, sparse; punctures on abdominal ventrites 1, 2 large, separated by less than twice a diameter, punctures on remaining ventrites small, separated by about a diameter. Head densely pubescent, frons widened from vertex to clypeus, 1 ½ times width of eye measured at vertex ( Fig. 178 ); eye canthus short; apical maxillary palpomere long, narrowed to apex in apical 1/3. Pronotum widest anterior to middle, reflexed lateral margin wide, equal in width from base to apex. Epipleuron flat, wide in basal ½, as wide as pronotal hypomeron. Prosternum wider than long, about as long as mesosternum, apical margin truncate, anterolateral projection small, not setose. Postcoxal line on ventrite 1 long, extended slightly more than ½ distance to apical margin of ventrite. Apex of ventrite 5 truncate medially. Genitalia with basal lobe slightly shorter than paramere, slender, parallel sided from base nearly to apex, apex broadly emarginate; paramere slender, slightly curved, of equal width from base nearly to apex, narrowed apically to acutely rounded apex, dorsal margin with blunt, median serrations in apical ½ ( Fig. 179, 180 ); sipho slender, slightly narrowed to acute apex ( Fig. 181 ). Female. Unknown. Variation . Unknown. Type material. Holotype male; TRINIDAD : Savanna , St. Clair , Port –of– Spain , Trin. Oct. 24, 1918 , A817, Harold Morrison. ( USNM ). Remarks. This species is similar to several other black, immaculate species of Neaporia , distinguished only by examination of male genitalia and Trinidad type locality.
