Diagnostic information
(based on the redescription of
Tinodemus grouvellei
by
Svec
2002
). Body length 2.0 mm. Oval, dark brown, elytral suture and base of pronotum laterally paler. Legs, antennae and mouthparts red, ventral side orange. Head and pronotum without microsculpture. Scutellum and elytra finely and densely transversely strigose. Sutural stria of elytra present in the apical 5/8. Male metatibiae short and widened apically, twice as wide at apex as proximally, medio-apical spine ca. twice as long as metatarsomere 1, curved at apex (
Fig. 30A
). Female metatibiae not modified. Male genitalia as in
Fig. 30B, C
.
Bionomic notes.
The Canadian specimens were collected in various habitats (grasslands, forests, wetlands, residential areas etc.), mainly with Malaise traps.
Comments.
The lack of a modern species-level revision of
Acylomus
prevents detailed comparison to most other Nearctic species of
Acylomus
. The only other species of
Acylomus
previously known from Canada,
A. pugetanus
Casey, 1916, was redescribed by
Steiner and Singh (1987)
. It is darker, especially ventrally, and has different male genitalia and no apparent sexual dimorphism in metathoracic leg structure. At least one more species of
Acylomus
(BOLD:ACM7465) occurs in Canada according to DNA barcode data and initial morphological analysis of the barcoded specimens, but we have not been able to identify it to species level.
