Supplementary description
The following description amplifies the
type
description of
Darby (2015)
, by adding more details of the meso- and metaventral characters, in order to conform with the entries in the present paper.
SIZE. Habitus (
Fig. 94A
), length
0.80 mm
.
COLOUR. Yellow brown, antennae and legs dusky yellow.
HEAD. Width across eyes
0.22 mm
; antennomeres 3–11 length
0.45 mm
long (
Fig. 2F
); mentum as
Fig. 4B.
PRONOTUM. Length
0.19 mm
, width
0.28 mm
, sparsely pubescent and foveolate; lateral margins sharply angled, strongly concave posteriad to rectangular hind angles, less markedly concave anteriorly to distinct obtusely rounded front angles (
Fig. 94B
).
ELYTRA.
0.55 mm
long,
0.41 mm
wide, pubescence a little shorter and more decumbent than on the pronotum.
MESOVENTRITE. Median process of the very narrow collar pointed; mid-keel strongly widened anteriorly, hind angles with carinae to mesocoxal anterior borders, bluntly raised medially before junction with keel; keel with ± five setae, parallel-sided to rounded termination at base of mesocoxae (
Fig. 5F
); humeri toothed with flat, sharply pointed carinae reaching posteriorly to mid-point of mesoventrite, mesoventral lateral margins entirely effaced, present as apodemes (
Fig. 94C
).
METAVENTRITE. Spines very small.
GENITALIA. Female spermatheca globular. Males not known.
Remarks
Differs from the other Bolivian
Cissidium
, except
C. sawadai
Darby, 2015
, by the long and narrow elytra and distinguishable from that species by the strongly tapering mid-keel.
