Atyphella abdominalis
comb. nov.
male (USNM). 180, 181 habitus: 180 dorsal; 181 ventral; 182, 184 abdomen: 182 ventral; 184 dorsal; 183 pronotum dorsal; 185−187 aedeagus in aedeagal sheath: 185 ventral; 186 dorsal; 187 right lateral.
Diagnosis.
Repeated with slight modifications from
Ballantyne & Lambkin 2009: 68
. Males exist in three colour variations: 1. Dorsal surface of elytra and pronotum entirely brown to dark brown (
Ballantyne & Lambkin 2009
fig. 225), or pronotum may be mottled brownish orange (
Ballantyne & Lambkin 2009
fig. 226). 2. Pronotum, MS and MN orange with extensive darker brown markings, elytra dark brown. 3. Pronotum MS and MN orange with no darker markings; elytra dark brown. Colour pattern 1 similar to
Luciola hypocrita
(Olivier)
, which has a black dorsal surface, very shiny elytra (elytral surface dull in
carolinae
), no flat hypomeral areas (posterior half flat in
carolinae
), a pale ventral surface, no apparent LO in
V7
, paired LOs in
V6
(full LOs in both these ventrites in
carolinae
), and posterolateral eye excavations (no eye excavations in
carolinae
). Distinguished from
Atyphella aphrogeneia
Ballantyne
et
Buck 1979
by the variations in pronotal colouration, the pronotal width/humeral width ratio, and the apical elytral modifications in
Aty. aphrogeneia
(the apical area of both suture and lateral margin as well as the elytral apex are swollen).
