DIAGNOSIS. A
Tiferonia
species
that shares single supra-ocular seta with
T. brunnea
and
T. trapezicollis
sp.n.
It is very slightly different from the former chiefly in the pronotum infuscated, almost black (
vs
. red), and slightly wider relative to the head (PW/HW 1.86
vs
. 1.73), and from the latter in only having the pronotum differently shaped, with basal angles barely more obtuse.
DESCRIPTION. As for the previous species except as follows: Body barely slenderer (
Fig. 39
), BL
3.7 mm
. Pronotum reddish along all margins.
Head small, eyes rather small and convex; frontal sulci angulate, parallel behind clypeus, then strongly diverging and straight. Labrum apically truncate, with rounded angles. Pronotum quadrate, half wider than long, PW/PL 1.44, almost twice as wide as head, PW/HW 1.86, broadest just behind middle, PLw/PL 0.46, sides rounded, less so in basal half; apical angles slightly acute and a little projecting. Base barely more than half wider than apex, PB/PA 1.56, basal angles slightly obtuse. Basal sulci almost obliterate, hardly traceable as very superficial lines running parallel on second sixth. Median line very fine, obliterate in basal and apical fourths. Elytra: EL/EW 1.46, EW/PW 1.13. Legs: mesotibia with 3 spiniform anterolateral setae.
Aedeagus (Figs 42–43, 49, 54–55) similar to that of
T. trapezicollis
sp.n.
