Pleasing fungus beetles of the West Indies (Coleoptera: Erotylidae: Erotylinae) Author Skelley, Paul E. text Insecta Mundi 2009 2009-07-24 2009 82 1 94 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.5405085 1942-1354 5405085 1E1E96BA-73BC-4457-9A32-637B0CFC8AE1 Antillengis epochthidius Skelley, new species Figure 1b , 32-34 , 36-37 Diagnosis. Antillengis epochthidius is recognized by: large body size (greater than 9 mm long), pentagonal mental plate, and a broad poorly defined gular-submental groove. Description. Length 9.2-9.8 mm ; width 4.5-4.6 mm . Body dark red-brown nearly black; antennae, palpi, legs, and apical 4 abdominal ventrites reddish-brown; elytral apex with red-brown mark which extends laterally to middle ( Fig. 36 ). Head with base coarsely punctate, puncture size = an ocular facet diameter, separated by 0.5-1.0 x their diameter; vertex and epistomal punctures = 0.3 x ocular facet diameter, separated by 2-4 x their diameter on vertex, becoming denser on epistome. Mentum transverse, plate width = 2.2 x length, plate pentagonal, sides short, anterior margin obtusely angled and broadly rounded medially. Gular-submental groove broad, poorly defined; in addition to few punctures laterally, gula with sculpture or punctures posterior of groove ( Fig. 32 ). Pronotal lateral margin straight at base, evenly arched toward eyes anteriorly. Elytral strial punctures large, indistinctly impressed, same size or smaller than coarse punctures at base of pronotum; intervals finely punctate, puncture size = fine pronotal punctures. Prosternum with anterior marginal bead broad and well defined medially, becoming narrow and weakly defined laterally; coarse punctures continue narrowly connected across midline anterior of coxae. Genitalia similar to A. brunnipes ( Fig. 33-34 ).
