Pseudomicrocara lunata ( Solier, 1849 ) , lectotype, male genitalia. A) penis; B) tegmen; C) tergite VIII; D) tergite IX; E) sternite VIII; F) sternite IX. Scale bar = 0.25 mm. Type material. Lectotype (present designation), “ Cyphon \ lunatum Sol \ Chili ” [handwritten with brown ink, prob- ably by Solier]; “9 \ 45” [handwritten on a green, round label]. The specimen is missing most of the legs, its right elytron is damaged. Description. Male, body oblong oval, TL 4.7 mm . Head, pronotum and scutellar shield orange, elytra orange with brownish-black oblique stripe in posterior 1/3, antennae, legs, and ventrum orange. Punctures on elytra separated by ca. 0.5 diameter of a puncture, punctures on pronotum sparser than on elytra, separated by ca. 1.0 diameter. Anterolateral angles of pronotum widely rounded, not projecting. Penis (L 0.59 mm , W 0.29 mm) with long pala, trigonium subtriangular, rounded at apex, parameroids sinuate, hooked at apices; tegmen (L 0.62 mm , W 0.35 mm, styli not included) with relatively wide parameres, apices rounded, styli present, sinuate; tergite VIII (L 0.48 mm , W 0.53 mm) with subtrapezoidal apical plate, covered with setae, apical margin with sparse setae similar like setae present on plate, apodemes short; tergite IX (L 0.40 mm , W 0.47 mm) with transversely rectangular apical plate, apical plate membranous, covered with sparse setae, apical margin with very short and dense setae; sternite VIII (L 0.23 mm , W 0.32 mm) v-shaped, with few setae at apices; sternite IX (L 0.45 mm , W 0.31 mm) suboval, with rounded apical margin, consisting of two hemisternites, apical margin with few sparse, relatively long setae. Remarks. Solier studied more than a single specimen of this species as ranges of measurements were noted in the original description ( Solier 1849 ), therefore a lectotype is designated in order to preserve the stability of nomenclature by selecting one specimen as the sole, name-bearing type of the taxon.
