Neaporia marsha Gordon and Hanley , new species Description. Male holotype . Length approximately 3.0 mm, width 2.2 mm ; body short, wide, elytra much wider than pronotal base, widest at anterior 1/3 of elytra. Elytral surface entirely shiny, lacking microsculpture. Color of head and pronotum unknown, elytron pale red except black macula extended from base to apex medially, macula narrow on basal margin inside humeral callus, narrowly extended along sutural margin to just posterior to middle then widened to occupy remainder of elytron ( Fig. 82 ); venter and legs yellow except prosternum slightly darker than remainder of venter. Elytral punctures separated by a diameter or less; prosternal punctures large, separated by less than a diameter; metasternal depression impunctate, lateral punctures large, separated by less than a diameter; punctures on abdominal ventrites 1, 2 large, separated by less than 3 times a diameter, inside of postcoxal lines lacking punctures, punctures on remaining ventrites small, separated by about a diameter. Epipleuron flat, wide in basal ½. Prosternum as in Fig.84 . Postcoxal line on ventrite 1 short, narrow, evenly rounded, extended slightly more than ½ distance to apical margin of ventrite ( Fig. 83 ). Apex of ventrite 5 evenly rounded. Genitalia with basal lobe as long as paramere, wide in basal ½, then narrowed in apical ½ to bluntly rounded apex; paramere widest medially, narrowed to thickened, abruptly bent apex, dorsal margin with trace of blunt serrations medially ( Fig. 85–86 ); sipho robust, wide throughout, apex complex, sinuate medially ( Fig. 87 ). Female. Unknown. Variation . Unknown. Type material. Holotype male; Ivon , Beni , Boliv ( BOLIVIA ) Feb , WMMann, Mulford Biol. Expl. 1921– 1922.m USNM. Remarks. The holotype is missing a head and pronotum but the remainder is intact including abdomen with male genitalia. Because of this and the unique elytral color pattern the species is described. It does not resemble any known species of Neaporia in color pattern, but male genitalia are similar to those of several other species.
