Coleoxestia rafaeli
is known from
Brazil
in the states of
Paraná
(
holotype
) and
Santa Catarina
(
paratype
). We found
14 specimens
of this species from
SÃo Paulo
. We are describing the female of this species for the first time.
Description:
Female:
Antennae 1.1 times as long as elytra (about 1.5 times in male), reaching about distal quarter of elytra (surpassing elytral apex at least by antennomere XI in male), and abdominal ventrite V with sides distinctly convergent toward truncate apex (slightly emarginate centrally), slightly shorter than IV (less distinctly narrowed toward apex, which is wider in male). Antennal formula (ratio) based on length of antennomere III: scape = 0.57; pedicel = 0.11; IV = 0.58; V = 0.62; VI = 0.60; VII = 0.59; VIII = 0.58; IX = 0.54; X = 0.45; XI = 0.79.
Dimensions in mm (female):
Total length, 30.0; prothoracic length, 4.5; basal prothoracic width, 4.7; distal prothoracic width, 3.9; humeral width, 6.7; elytral length, 22.6.
Remarks:
The female differs from male by the shorter antennae. The antennomere III is not distinctly angulate at outer side, but it is notably angulate in the
holotype
and
paratype
males. However, we examined a male from the Brazilian state of
SÃo Paulo
with antennomere III as in the female (not distinctly angulate at outer side). Consequently, the outer apex of the antennomere III in
C. rafaeli
,
although never nodose, is somewhat variable.
