Chrysobothris guadeloupensis ; Woodley and Touroult 2012: 3. Diagnosis. This species most closely resembles C. marskeae , with a pronotal blue patch immediately anterior to scutellum (Woodley and Touroult 2012: fig. 2). It can be distinguished from C. marskeae by its narrow aedeagus, which is at least 3.4 times as long as wide (Woodley and Touroult 2012: figs. 5, 6). Chrysobothris guadeloupensis is also the only species in the C . thoracica speies-group known from the Guadeloupe archipelago. For a full description, see Woodley and Touroult (2012). Length. 4.5– 6.2 mm (from Woodley and Touroult 2012). Distribution. This species is reported from the islands of Grande Terre, Basse Terre, and La Désirade in Guadeloupe (Woodley and Touroult 2012). Type Locality. Porte d’ Enfer , Portland, Grande Terre, Guadeloupe ( MNHN ) . Material Examined. None. Key and diagnosis are based on Descarpentries (1981) and Woodley and Touroult (2012). Biology. Chrysobothris guadeloupensis has been reared from Tamarindus indica L. and Acacia tortuosa (L.) Willd. ( Fabaceae ) as well as Laguncularia racemosa (L.) C. F. Gaertn. ( Combretaceae ) (white mangrove) ( Touroult 2005 ; Woodley and Touroult 2012). It is widespread in Guadeloupe , mostly in the dry forest zone. Figs. 5–7.
