Type material. Holotype . Female. Type locality: Trindade ( Goyaz ) Ch. Pujol ( Brazil ) ( MNHN ). Diagnosis. This is a slender species. The holotype is four times longer than broad. This characteristic will distinguish the holotype specimen from specimens of other Axina species with a partial black pronotum midline. Description. Size . Length 12.0 mm; width 3.0 mm. Form . As in Fig. 117 . Color . Cranium, thorax, and legs castaneous, except, pronotum with narrow black line that extends from mesoscutellum to discal indentation; elytra bicolorous, mostly flavotestaceous, epipleural margin broadly dark brown, dark brown region projects laterally to occupy elytral base, elytron middle, and elytral preapical region. Head . Cranium finely punctate, frons about as wide as length of antennal pedicel; EW/FW 45/10. Thorax . Pronotum finely punctate, with 2 paralateral spheroid tumescences, disc narrowly concave near middle; PW/PL 110/140; elytra, asetiferous punctures substriate, punctures extend posteriorly to elytral 3/4, width of interstitial spaces variable; EL/EW 410/90. Abdomen . Female pygidium trilobed distally ( Fig. 56 ). Distribution (for map see Fig. 72 ). This species is known from Brazil . Etymology. The specific epithet, ordinis , is a Latin name with a meaning of “line”. I refer to the narrow black line at the base of the pronotum disc.
