Length 1.3–1.4 mm ; greatest width 0.9–1.0 mm. Shining; color light reddish brown with paler maculae at elytral apices. Head punctation of moderate size and spacing; pronotum finely, sparsely punctate; elytral punctures large, closer than head punctation. Antennae short, about as long as width of head; apical antennomere distinctly paler than preceeding antennomeres. Maxillary palps unmodified. Eyes large. Wings fully developed. Metasternum finely, sparsely punctate medially; with fine lines of microsculpture laterally. Male protarsi and mesotarsi setose. Major male metafemur slender with weakly concave posterior margin; metatibia elongate; inner apical spur of metatibia elongate, curved, sinuate apically. Aedeagus ( Fig. 70, 71 ) roundly arched dorsoventrally, sinuate before apex; in dorsal view, evenly tapering to rounded apex. Parameres straight, evenly tapering to narrow apex. Type material . Holotype , male, with the following label data: “ BAHAMAS : Andros Island / Forfar Field Sta., nr./ Stafford Creek ; 9-VI-2004 / M.C. Thomas , BLT” ( FSCA ) . Paratypes (7): with same data as holotype (1, FSCA ) ; BAHAMAS : Andros Island , Forfar Field Sta. , Stafford Creek , 7.VI.2001 , B.K. Dozier , blacklight trap in coastal coppice (1, FSCA ; 1, SBPC ) ; Andros Is. , Atala Coppice , 3.VI.2001 , M.C. Thomas & R.H. Turnbow , sifted litter ex shallow solution hole (1, FSCA ; 1, SBPC ) ; Andros Island , Maidenhair Coppice , 24–28.VII.2006 , M.C. Thomas , T.R.S. Smith , UV trap in interior coppice (1, FSCA ) ; Andros I., Blanket Snd (N), Forfar Fld. Sta. , 17.V.1987 , J. Browne , junction of low coast. coppice & dry pineland, blk. lt., 87-20J (1, SBPC ) . Distribution . Known from Andros Island in the Bahamas . Remarks . Because of the geographic proximity of Florida and Andros Island of the Bahamas , it might be expected that the species of the two areas might be closely related. However, comparison of A. laevis (LeConte) of Florida and other eastern states ( Peck 2004 ) showed no close affinity. Etymology . Bahama + Latin suffix - ensis , locality, refers to the occurence of this species in the Bahamas Islands.
