Supplementary description
The description below concentrates in particular on amplifying Johnson’s description with more details of the meso- and metaventral characters in order to conform with the entries in the present paper.
SIZE. Habitus ( Fig.24A View Fig ), length 0.76 mm.
COLOUR. Dark red brown, legs and antennae dusky yellow.
HEAD. With a median fovea between the eyes ( Fig. 3D View Fig ), width across eyes 0.21 mm; antennomeres III– XI 0.44 mm long, II–IX 0.24 mm long, X–XI 0.20 mm long.
PRONOTUM. Length 0.21 mm, width 0.28 mm with four basal foveae on each side the two outer ones being much smaller and shallower than the inner ones which are slightly elongate and tending to join together to become one large fovea, sides rounded then shallowly concave to rectangular hind angles,
evenly rounded anteriorly, bordered, the borders not continuing along the posterior margin, medial emargination opposite the scutellum sinuate ( Fig. 24B View Fig ).
ELYTRA. Length 0.51 mm, breadth 0.43 mm, strongly foveolate, particularly in basal half. MESOVENTRITE. Median extension of collar very short, pointed; mid-keel parallel-sided, the hind angles almost meeting the mesocoxal border, raised portion before keel ridged.; keel narrow, with ± four setae, tapering to a point at the base of the mesocoxae; mesoventral lateral margins serrate in posterior half; humeri toothed ( Fig. 24C View Fig ).
METAVENTRITE. Glabrous, disc simple. Hind margins of mesocoxal borders without serrations.
WINGS. Macropterous.
GENITALIA. Male aedeagus as Fig. 6 View Fig Fa–b. Female spermatheca globular.
Remarks
Described by Johnson on the basis of specimens collected in New Zealand, North Island. Distinguished from C. crowsoni , the only other Cissidium reported from New Zealand, by the four large foveae on the pronotum.
