Description.
Body (
Figs 99–102
) elongate and moderately strongly convex, dark brown; BL
0.76 mm
.
FIGURES 99–102.
Cephennomicrus
sp. 5 (DU-32). Laterodorsal (99, 101) and ventrolateral (100, 102) view. Abbreviations: abg, antebasal groove; abp, antebasal pit; bef, basal elytral fovea; bst, basisternal part of prosternum; hy, hypomeron; hyr, hypomeral ridge; lpc, lateral pronotal carina; mcp, mesocoxal projection; mtvp, metaventral intercoxal process; st3–8, abdominal sternite III–VIII; v3, metaventrite.
Head (
Figs 99–102
) broadest at eyes, HL
0.10 mm
, HW
0.18 mm
; frons and vertex confluent, weakly convex and together strongly transverse; supraantennal tubercles weakly marked; compound eyes large and strongly convex, moderately coarsely faceted; punctures on frons sparse and fine; setae sparse, short and nearly recumbent. Antennae (
Figs 99–102
) much shorter than half BL, AnL about
0.25 mm
, shapes of most antennomeres difficult to assess, but IX seems at least as long as broad or elongate, X transverse, XI about as long as IX–X combined or slightly shorter, about as broad as X and less than twice as long as broad, nearly or completely symmetrical.
Pronotum (
Figs 99, 102
) subrectangular, but exact shape difficult to assess; PL
0.23 mm
, PW
0.25 mm
; pronotal disc seems to be broadest in front of middle, sides rounded in anterior third and weakly sinuate posteriorly; posterior pronotal corners obtuse-angled; posterior margin shallowly bisinuate with indistinct flattening in front of scutellum; base with two pairs of small and shallow but distinct antebasal pits (
Fig. 101
;
abp
), only inner pair connected by narrow antebasal groove (
Fig. 101
;
abg
). Punctures on pronotal disc fine but distinct, separated by spaces 1.5–2 × as wide as diameters of punctures; setae short, moderately dense, nearly recumbent (
Figs 99, 101
).
Elytra (
Figs 99, 101
) elongate oval, moderately convex, EL about
0.58 mm
, EW about
0.30 mm
, EI about 1.46; punctures and setae similar to those on pronotum (
Figs 99, 101
) but slightly denser.
Legs (
Figs 100, 102
) moderately long, slender, unmodified; all tibiae straight or weakly curved.
