(
Figs. 54–58

Description
. Integument dark-brown to black; head, apex of scape, antennomere III and prothorax black.
Head
. Frons subquadrate, moderately coarsely, punctate; with short, grayish pubescence not obscuring integument (more conspicuous in some areas depending on angle of light source); with moderately long, sparse dark setae. Antennal tubercles elevated, distinctly separated from each other; pubescence and setae as on frons. Coronal suture barely visible. Vertex coarsely, abundantly punctate; pubescence as on frons; with long, moderately abundant, dark setae. Area behind eyes with wide, yellow band of pubescence obscuring integument, from superior ocular lobe to near middle of inferior ocular lobe; area between middle of inferior ocular lobe, coarsely, abundantly punctate, with pubescence as on frons, and long, moderately abundant setae. Genae as long as 1.3 times inferior ocular lobe; with whitish-yellow pubescence. Distance between superior ocular lobes equal to 0.70 times scape length; distance between inferior ocular lobes, in frontal view, equal to 0.95 times scape length; superior ocular lobes very short, narrow, not totally involving antennal socket, not distinctly separated from inferior ocular lobe. Setae on scape and antennomere III longer ventrally; apex of antennomere III reaching basal one-sixth of elytra; scape as long as 0.44 times antennomere III; pedicel as long as 0.11 times antennomere III.
Thorax
. Prothorax subcylindrical, longer than wide; sides rounded from basal one-fourth to lateroanterior angle, with small, spiny tubercle at basal one-third; sides coarsely, densely punctate laterally; pubescence inconspicuous. Pronotum lacking distinct discal tubercles, sides coarsely, densely punctate; with large spot of yellow pubescence, from near apex of basal one-fifth to base of distal one-fifth, with abundant, long dark, setae throughout. Prosternum coarsely, abundantly punctate. Metepisterna coarsely, abundantly punctate; with narrow band of white pubescence on inner side. Metasternum coarsely, abundantly punctate laterally, abruptly, distinctly finer, towards middle; with yellow pubescence not obscuring integument. Elytra coarsely, densely punctate; with indistinct carina from humerus to near apex; apex truncate; with long, moderately abundant setae throughout, gradually shorter towards apex.
Abdomen
. Urosternites with grayish pubescence; urosternite V distinctly emarginate at distal margin.
Legs
. Metatarsomere I as long as 1.3 times II–III together.
Dimensions in mm (male)
. Total length, 6.5; length of prothorax at center, 1.3; widest width of prothorax (between apices of tubercles), 1.3; anterior width of prothorax, 1.1; posterior width of prothorax, 1.1; humeral width, 1.6; elytral length, 4.8.
Type
material
.
Holotype
male from
PERU
,
Piura
: Nomara,
27.IV.2012
, C. H. T. Townsend col. (
USNM
).
Diagnosis
.
Emphytoeciosoma flava
differs from
E. daguerrei
(monotypic genus) mainly by sides of the pronotum with large spot of yellow pubescence (unicolored pronotum in
E. daguerrei
) and elytral apex truncated (rounded in
E. daguerrei
).
Remarks
. The
holotype
is damaged, missing left antennomeres IV–XI of left antennae; right antennae; left protarsomeres IV–V; right protarsus; claws of left mesotarsus; left metatarsomeres IV–V; right hind leg; and the abdomen is glued on the label.
Etymology
. Latin,
flavus
= yellow; relating to the color of the pubescent pronotal maculae.
