Theognete semistriata Anderson , new species ( Figures 5 , 75 , 80 , 85 , 129–132 ) Diagnosis . Size. Length, male, 3.77–4.33mm ; female, 3.82–4.61mm . Width, male, 1.91–2.19mm ; female, 1.80–2.16mm . Pronotum moderately densely and moderately deeply punctate. Pronotum with apical constriction evident laterally as a series of separate linearly arranged punctures. Elytra with sutural stria very deeply linearly impressed and punctate from base to near midlength, stria 2 as a series of large, widely separated, impressed punctures, not linearly impressed; posterolateral area of elytra with punctures deeply impressed, continuous with punctures of striae in lateral area. Procoxae narrowly separated. Aedeagus as in Fig. 80 . Geographical distribution . México ( Guerrero ). Natural history . Collected from berlese extraction of wet oak-pine-fir forest and oak forest leaf litter at elevations ranging from 2400–2775m . Derivation of specific name . Named from the Latin semi , meaning half, and striatus , meaning grooved, in reference to the relatively deep striae, which are limited to the middle portion of the elytra.
