Type material. Complete label data for type material (holotype (CMNH), allotype, and 8 paratypes) are provided in the original description. Type locality. Las Mercedes, Pedernales Province, Dominican Republic. Diagnosis. This species is readily separated from the other species in the mundus species group by a combination of: elytra with slightly transverse microsculpture, sculpticells about 2 -4x wide as long and head and pronotum shiny, without visible microlines. Descriptive notes. Data for SBL in Table 1. Habitus as in Fig. 31C. Clypeus and labrum with anterior margin of each shallowly concave. Antennae and mouthparts testaceous to rufo-testaceous; legs testaceous. Dorsal and ventral surfaces brunneous to dark brunneous; elytral epipleuron paler than disc. Elytra with cupreous metallic luster. Head and pronotum shiny, microlines not visible at 100 x ; elytra with mesh pattern transverse, sculpticells about 2 -4x wide as long. Pronotum with posteriolateral impressions moderately coarsely punctate; posteriolateral angles rounded. Elytral striae impunctate, except the standard setigerous punctures in striae 2, 5 and 7. Males with two terminal setae and females with four terminal setae near the posterior margin on sternum VII. Male genitalia. Fig. 32 D-F . Apical portion of phallic median lobe moderately long, broadly triangular, symmetrically rounded in dorsal/ventral aspect, tip curved up dorsally; endophallus without spines or dark microtrichial fields; without lamina. Ventral surface of shaft smooth. Ovipositor and female reproductive tract. Fig. 33B. Gonocoxite 2 moderately thick, somewhat falcate. Bursa copulatrix short; spermatheca (sp) sausage-like, originating near base of common oviduct; long spermathecal gland duct originating about mid-length of spermatheca. Spermathecal gland (spg) small, bulbous, with swelling of duct, larger than gland, basad gland. Geographical distribution. Fig. 34. This species is known only from the Greater Antillean Island of Hispaniola, specifically the southwestern regions of the Dominican Republic. Chorological affinities and relationships. The range of this species is overlapped by the range of S. mundus . Relationships of S. pseudomundus are not postulated beyond species group membership. Material examined. In addition to type material, we have seen a total of 40 specimens (19 males, 21 females). See Appendix for details.
