Neaporia hilda Gordon and Hanley , new species Description. Male holotype . Length 2.0 mm, width 1.6 mm ; body slightly elongate, elytra with sides nearly parallel in basal ½, wider than pronotal base, widest at middle of elytra. Dorsal surface entirely shiny, lacking microsculpture. Color black; pronotum black with slightly greenish tint, reflexed lateral margin reddish yellow; elytron with 2 reddish yellow maculae, anterior macula irregularly rectangular from posterior to humeral callus to midpoint, posterior macula irregularly rounded medially on apical declivity ( Fig. 117 ); mouthparts yellow except apical 1/3 of apical maxillary palpomere dark brown; antenna yellow; legs reddish brown except tibia and apical ½ of femur brown; ventral surface dark brown except apical 2 ventrites yellowish brown. 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 head, separated by a diameter or less; prosternal, mesosternal punctures large, separated by less than a diameter; metasternum with large punctures along anterior and lateral borders, punctures on remaining surface small, sparse; punctures on abdominal ventrites 1–2 large, separated by a diameter or less, punctures on remaining ventrites small, separated by about a diameter. Head densely pubescent with frons wider than an eye measured at vertex ( Fig. 118 ); eye canthus short; apical maxillary palpomere long, narrowed to apex in apical 1/3. Pronotum widest at middle, reflexed lateral margin narrow, widened from base to apex. Epipleuron flat, wide in basal ½, as wide as pronotal hypomeron. Prosternum slightly longer than wide, longer than mesosternum, with apical margin slightly arcuate, male anterolateral projection large, prominent, distinctly setose ( Fig. 119 ). Postcoxal line on ventrite 1 long, evenly rounded, extended nearly to apical margin of ventrite ( Fig. 118 ). Apex of ventrite 5 mostly truncate, widely emarginate medially. Genitalia with basal lobe slightly shorter than paramere, slender, parallel sided, abruptly narrowed to apex in apical 1/8; paramere wide, widest medially, apical 1/5 weakly curved, weakly narrowed to abruptly rounded apex, dorsal margin with blunt serrations medially ( Fig. 121, 122 ); sipho wide in basal ½, apical ½ abruptly narrowed ( Fig. 123 ). Female. Similar to male except head not densely pubescent, spermathecal capsule slender, narrowed medially, apex of cornu rounded. ( Fig. 120 ). Variation . Length 2.0 to 2.1 mm . Type material. Holotype male; COLUMBIA; La Union , CND ( Cundinamarca ), 29–VI–39, alt. 1900 m ., Murillo No 5069. ( USNM ) . Paratypes ; 2,1, Buga , Colombia , Val ( Valle ) 4.II.41, alt. 1010 m , Murillo No 5416 ; 1, Monterredondo , Cundinamarca , Kolumb.( Colombia ), 1400 m , leg. Schneble 1961.18.X ( USNM ) . Other specimens . 2; 1, COLUMBIA, N.de S.( Norte De Santander ) 2300m ., 25km . S. Chinacota , May 14, 1974 , H. &A. Howden ; 2, Colombia , Cund ( Cundinamarca ) 1900m , La Union , June 28, 1939 , Murillo No 5061 ( USNM ) . Remarks. Neaporia hilda is distinguished by its elytral color pattern and Colombian locality. Two female individuals under “other specimens,” also from Colombia , differ by having all elytral maculae reduced in size and are overall slightly smaller than the holotype . They closely resemble the type specimens in all other regards.
