Neaporia leah Gordon and Hanley , new species Description. Male holotype . Length 1.5 mm , width 1.0 mm; body oval, elytron with lateral margin curved, wider than pronotal base, widest at middle of elytra. Dorsal surface shiny except elytron with faint microsculpture Fig. 159 ); head, pronotum reddish yellow, darker than venter; antenna, mouthparts, entire venter including legs pale yellow; elytron with lateral, apical margins narrowly reddish yellow. Head punctures small, separated by about a diameter; pronotal punctures as large as on head, separated by a diameter or less; elytral punctures as large as on pronotum, separated by a diameter or less; prosternal, mesosternal punctures large, separated by less than a diameter; metasternum with large punctures throughout, punctures separated by less than a diameter in apical, lateral 1/4, separated by about a diameter medially; punctures on abdominal ventrites 1–3 large, separated by a diameter, punctures on remaining ventrites small, separated by about a diameter. Head not densely pubescent with frons 1 1/4 times wider than eye measured at vertex ( Fig. 160 ); eye canthus short; apical maxillary palpomere long, narrowed to apex in apical 1/3. Pronotum widest anterior to middle, reflexed lateral margin narrow, equal in width from base to apex. Epipleuron flat, wide in basal ½, as wide as pronotal hypomeron. Prosternum longer than wide, longer than mesosternum, apical margin slightly emarginate, male anterolateral projection absent. Postcoxal line on ventrite 1 short, evenly rounded, extended ½ distance to apical margin of ventrite. Apex of ventrite 5 truncate medially. Genitalia with basal lobe longer than paramere, slender, sides more or less parallel, apex appearing bifid with each side apically rounded; paramere slender throughout, dorsal margin not serrate ( Fig. 161 ); sipho lost. Female . Unknown. Variation . Unknown. Type material. Holotype male; ex Honduras on orchid plants, Miami , Fla., 61–9482. ( USNM ). Remarks. The holotype was found on orchid plants shipped from Honduras to Florida in 1961. It is distinguished by a dorsal color pattern possessed by no other Neaporia species. Male genitalia are also unusual and atypical because of the long, apically bifid basal lobe.
