Diagnosis Body shape rounded, small, length 2.8 mm, width 1.8 mm. Body oblong, convex, weakly glossy, finely and evenly punctate; colouration brown with paler margins and appendages. Clypeus with a marginal bead fine and complete across apex. Additional characters: Metendosternite: anterior tendons thin. Genitalia: Penile flagellum elongate, approximately 2× the length of penis. Head of penile flagellum small, not very dark and with a single short anterior process that is upturned (similar to the ‘tip of an arrow’ in dorsal view). Vaginal process inconspicuous.
Distribution Bolivia, Peru( Alvarenga 1994; Skelley and Powell 2018) ( Figure 55). Nomenclature Mycomystes peruvianuswas described in the genus Mycophtorus Lacordaire (1842). Later, it was redescribed and provisionally placed under Mycotretusby Skelley and Powell (2018). In the redefinition of Mycomystesproposed here, the species is transferred to Mycomystesdue to the following features: presence of a subptengonal mentum with a nearly rounded outline; body oval, almost circular; apical maxillary palpomere semicircular and approximately 5× wider than apical labial palps; and abdominal lines conspicuous.
Key to species of Mycomystes 1. Body oval to almost circular (i.e. elytral outline conspicuously arched at the 1/2 of elytra) (e.g. Figure 19–33); tibiae not or barely widened apically ( Figure 8) ...................................... 2– Body elongate (elytral outline arched at the 2/3 of elytra) (e.g. Figure 34, 42–43); tibiae widened apically ( Figure 9) ............................................................................................................. 5 2 (1). Dorsal colouration brown with paler margins and appendages. Mesoventrite broadly rectangular, approximately 4× as wide as long, coarsely punctate. Male genitalia with flagellar head small, with a single short anterior process that is upturned (similar to the ‘tip of an arrow’ in dorsal view). Bolivia, Peru( Figure 52–54) ................................................... ................................................................................................ Mycomystes peruvianus( Kirsch, 1876)– Dorsal colouration yellowish to red-brown, often with distinct black pattern. Mesoventrite approximately 1.5–2.0× as wide as long, usually finely punctate; flagellar head large ........................................................................................................................................ 3 3 (2). Body oval. Dorsal colouration highly variable: head full yellowish to full blackish; pronotum full blackish or usually with two or three yellowish oval spots; elytra full reddish or reddish and apically blackish ( Figure 19–27). Male genitalia with flagellar head subrectangular ( Figure 13), narrowed or slightly subtriangular, i.e. narrowed posteriorly and widened apically, with the lateral borders gently rounded close to anterior border. Southeast Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Venezuela........ Mycomystes apicalis( Lacordaire, 1842)– Body almost circular and shortened. Dorsal colouration yellowish to reddish brown. Flagellar head fish-like, conspicuously triangular, horseshoe-shaped, with a short anterior process, etc. .......................................................................................................................... 4 4 (3). Colour pattern full yellowish to reddish-brown, tarsi with the same colour of the body. North and Southeast Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, French Guiana, Panama( Figures 28–33) ..................................... ..................................... Mycomystes coccineus( Lacordaire, 1842)– Colour pattern as the previous species, tarsi blackish. Mexico( Figure 38–39) ................. ...................................................................................... Mycomystes fuscitarsis( Gorham, 1888) 5 (1). Posterior apex of prosternal process, mesoventrite, metaventrite and legs blackish ( Figure 50). Male genitalia with head of penile flagellum horseshoe-shaped, inner contours widely separated, anterior borders shallowly fused medially ( Figure 16). South and Southeast Brazil Mycomystes nigriventrisPecci-Maddalena and Lopes-Andrade, 2020– Ventral colouration full yellowish to reddish-brown. Male genitalia with head of penile flagellum not horseshoe-shaped ( Figure 15). ............................................................. 6 6 (5). Protibiae with outer apical angle rounded; elytral punctation uniformly longitudinal. From Central America to Argentina( Figure 40, 42–45, 47) ............................................................... ....................................................................... Mycomystes melanophthalmus( Duponchel, 1825)– Protibiae with outer apical angle sharply pointed; elytral punctation slightly irregular and confluent at disc.
