Neaporia felicia Gordon and Hanley , new species Description. Male holotype . Length 1.4 mm , width 1.0 mm; body elongate oval, elytron with side slightly rounded, wider than pronotal base, widest at middle of elytra. Dorsal surface shiny except elytron with trace of microsculpture. Color black; head black (Fig. 225); pronotum with reflexed lateral margin reddish brown; elytron reddish yellow with triangular, black basal macula extended from base at scutellum posteriorly to middle of elytron, apex of elytron narrowly brown (Fig. 224); antenna, epipleuron, legs yellow; mouthparts yellow except terminal maxillary palpomere dark brown with yellow ventral surface; ventral surface reddish yellow except abdomen yellowish brown. Head punctures small, separated by a diameter or less; pronotal punctures as large as on head, separated by less than twice a diameter; elytral punctures larger than on pronotum, separated by a diameter or less; prosternal punctures large, separated by about a diameter; mesosternal punctures large, separated by less than twice a diameter; metasternum with large punctures along anterior and lateral borders, punctures on remaining surface absent or small, sparse; punctures on abdominal ventrites 1, 2 large, separated by less than three times a diameter, punctures on remaining ventrites small, separated by about a diameter. Head densely pubescent, frons widened from vertex to clypeus, about as wide as eye measured at vertex; eye canthus short; apical maxillary palpomere long, slender, narrowed to apex in apical 1/3. Pronotum widest anterior to middle, reflexed lateral margin wide, equal in width from base to apex. Epipleuron flat, wide in basal ½, as wide as pronotal hypomeron. Prosternum wider than long, shorter than mesosternum, apical margin arcuate, without anterolateral projection. Postcoxal line on ventrite 1 short, extended slightly less than ½ distance to apical margin of ventrite. Apex of ventrite 5 truncate medially. Genitalia with basal lobe shorter than paramere, slender, slightly narrowed from base to narrowly, deeply emarginate apex; paramere straight in lateral view, basal 2/3 wide, apical 1/3 narrowed to bluntly rounded apex, dorsal margin without serrations (Fig. 226); sipho slender, unmodified (Fig. 227). Female. Similar to male except head without yellow macula, spermathecal capsule short, slender, base and apex widened, cornu apically rounded, unmodified. Variation . Basal black macula on elytron extended posteriorly to midpoint of elytron or shorter, not reaching midpoint. Type material. Holotype male; BRAZIL : Am.
