Neaporia margie Gordon and Hanley , new species Description. Male holotype . Length 1.2 mm , width 0.9 mm ; body short, oval, elytron with side rounded, wider than pronotal base, widest at middle of elytra. Dorsal surface entirely shiny, lacking microsculpture. Color brown ( Fig. 139 ); head black; pronotum dark brown with lateral 1/3 slightly paler brown; mouthparts and antenna yellow; legs yellow except anterior 1/3 of profemur, basal 1/4 of protibia brownish yellow; apical 2 abdominal ventrites yellow. Head punctures large, separated by less than a diameter; pronotal punctures about as large as on head, separated by a diameter or less; elytral punctures larger than on pronotum, separated by a diameter or less; prosternal, mesosternal punctures large, shallow, separated by less than a diameter; metasternum with few weakly impressed, large punctures along anterior and lateral borders, punctures on remaining surface small, nearly invisible; punctures on abdominal ventrites 1–2 large, separated by 1 to 3 times a diameter, punctures on remaining ventrites small, separated by about a diameter. Head not densely pubescent, frons narrow, about ½ width of eye measured at vertex ( Fig. 141 ); eye canthus short; apical maxillary palpomere long, narrowed to apex in apical 1/3. Pronotum widest at middle, reflexed lateral margin narrow, equal in width from base to apex. Epipleuron flat, wide in basal ½, as wide as pronotal hypomeron. Prosternum longer than wide, longer than mesosternum, with apical margin arcuate, male without anterolateral projection. Postcoxal line on ventrite 1 long, abruptly angulate, extended to apical margin of ventrite ( Fig. 140 ). Apex of ventrite 5 truncate. Genitalia with basal lobe longer than paramere, slender, evenly narrowed from base to blunt, emarginate apex; paramere slender, evenly narrowed in apical half to narrowly rounded apex in lateral view, dorsal margin without blunt serrations ( Fig. 142, 143 ); sipho slender throughout, not apically narrowed ( Fig.144 ). Female. Unknown. Variation . Unknown. Type material. Holotype male; N.E. BOLIVIA : Xylopa sericea , Fogging , 3.vii.97, Tree 10B, Tray 5, Oquriquia forest , Tierra Prometida, J.G . Davies, BMNH(E), 1998–69. ( BMNH ). Remarks. This tiny species is not easily distinguished from other brown or black species of Neaporia , but a lack of distinct, large prosternal and mesosternal punctures, abdominal ventrite 1 with long, angulate postcoxal line, and a narrow frons about ½ width of an eye serve to characterize N . margie .
