Philonthus carbonarius
(Gravenhorst)
(
Figs 10–12
,
26–32
, 47–48A, 55, 66)
Body length:
4.29–4.95 mm
(mean
4.7 mm
), female
4.57–4.95 mm
(mean
4.81 mm
), male
4.29–4.73 mm
(mean
4.60 mm
); body width:
1.93–2.20 mm
(mean 2.00 mm), female 2.00–
2.22 mm
(mean
2.1 mm
), male
1.91–2.10 mm
(mean 2.00 mm); head width:
1.06–1.19 mm
(mean
1.13 mm
); pronotum width:
1.39–1.65 mm
(mean
1.53 mm
), 1.1 x as broad as long; body rather stocky and weakly sclerotized. Head about 1.2 x as long as wide (
Figs 10, 11
). Antennae protruding middle of elytra length (
Fig. 11
). Anterior margin of pronotum with 10–13 projections (females–5/5, 7/6, 6/6, 7/6, 5/6 projections, males–6/6, 6/6, 5/6, 6/6, 6/6, 6/6, 6/6 projections on sides in individuals). The wing length as in
G. osseticus
and
P. atratus
(
Figs 4, 5
,
7, 8, 10, 11
). Each fore, middle, and hind tibiae with 1, 9, and 4 protuberances respectively. The length of hind legs as in
P. a t r a t u s
(
Figs 7, 8, 10, 11
). Abdominal segments II–IV almost equal in width, than narrowed to the terminal segment of the body (
Fig. 12
). Abdominal segments III–VIII each with a pair of setiform projections (6 pairs in total) on sides (
Figs 10–12
). Segments III–VI more than four (4.3–4.5 x) as long as projections (
Figs 28, 31
); projections on segments VII and VIII, 3–
4
x longer than on the other segments; projections on segment VII only about 1.5x shorter than segment, projection on segment VIII curved, slightly longer than segment (
Figs 26, 30
). All abdominal projections on sides bearing cuticular processes (
Figs 27, 29, 32
). Abdominal segments with microstructure as in
Fig. 26
A. Female pupa with two well-developed ventral, elongated, straight prolongations (Fig. 47); sternite IX of male pupa as in Fig. 48; ventral and terminal prolongation with tiny cuticular processes (Figs 47A, 48A). The first pair of functional spiracles slightly narrowed to the apex, with strongly-marked reticulate microstructure (
Figs 11, 12
,
55
); atrophied spiracles as in
Fig. 66
.
